The first mail from a new address takes for our system for example 15
minutes to 1 hour to arrive. I meant grey listning.

What is greylisting
Greylisting is a technology used on the IT-campus mail servers
to significally limit the amount of spam reaching the users. It is
enabled for all users.
Does it have any negative consequences?
Yes - if you receive email from new senders sent from machines
outside theIT-campus network, the first email will get delayed for 10
minutes to one hour typically. If you haven't got any emails from a
specificsender for 3 months, this will happen again
