And, you should analytic /var/log/maillog every week/month/whatever, pick up and update the domain names you send mail to or receive from them into policyd whitelist table.

Alternate solution: try to make the interval time shorter. Set in /etc/policyd.conf:

TRIPLET_TIME=1m

1m is 1 minute.

It will reject mail which arrived first time with 4xx soft bounce code, a normal MTA will retry deliver this mail several minutes later.
Three times later, your mail server will accept this mail and deliver to user's mailbox.

Greylist is spam-killer. Please try to understand it and then decide to enable it or not.

Is there a way to make it less sensitive because a lot of real mail is rejected.

Please try to understand how it works.
