NTL smtp servers retry time on 4xx errors?

Does anyone know what NTLs smtp retry schedule is if the first delivery
attempt produces a 4xx error (i.e greylisted, try a little later)?

Not sure if all of NTLs services use the same MTA pool, but specifically
I'm on about mtaXX-svc.ntlworld.com

regards

Don't know the answer,
But after reading this and other similar questions recently I would like to
ask one myself.

What comedian thought there was ever anything SIMPLE in SMTP?

If you read through The several hundred pages of the relevant X.400 set
of standards - the ITU and ISO "rival" approach to e-mail - you'll readily
agree that SMTP - as specified in RFC 2821, covering only 79 fairly small
pages - is, by comparison, gloriously simple.

Slightly OT but from NTL service status page "On the morning of Tuesday 1st
Sept between midnight and 6am, the following work will take place:-"

Is it not Wednesday 1st Sept ?
