They're not picking on you. The idea is that *everyone* is 
greylisted and told to re-transmit the mail a second time.

It's completely automatic; your mail server's normal function of 
retrying to deliver a second time will do it.  Then you'll be able 
to deliver the mail through that pair of mail servers without 
delay.
