Postgrey is eating my emails

I have noticed that postgrey has been rejecting emails that are perfectly valid, and I'm wondering if it is possible to recover emails that have been rejected.  I tried db_dump -ing the files in /var/spool/postfix/postgrey, but to no avail.

Here is the relevant line in mail.log:
postfix/smtpd[8561]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from rowling.freenode.net[140.211.167.103]: 450 4.2.0 <lachlan@neofish.org>: Recipient address rejected: Greylisted, see http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/help/neofish.org.html; from=<donotreply@freenode.net> to=<lachlan@neofish.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<rowling.osuosl.bak>

Thoughts?

Re: Postgrey is eating my emails

This is the way greylisting works There is no other way to 'recover' these mails than wait for sending server to retry.
