The bigger senders are doing things now (more than ever) that they 
weren't doing 15+ years ago.  Now farms of servers will try to contact 
you.  The message may first try from one IP, then from another IP, then 
from a 3rd....  It may eventually try from the same IP and make it through.

I think most grey list solutions have an option to specify the network 
(frequently configured a a /24) for the sending IP.  This significantly 
helps with different servers in the same server farm trying to resend 
messages.

Another option that doesn't have this (state based) limitation is 
nolisting.  (TCP RST from first MX and subsequent MX(s) accept email.)
