What Is Greylisting?

Greylisting — an anti-spam technique that temporarily rejects an unfamiliar delivery attempt with a transient SMTP response and accepts a legitimate sender's later retry.

Deliverability is determined by a combination of SMTP results, IP and domain reputation, list quality, complaints, content, and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC checks. No single metric guarantees inbox placement.
