graylisted
Under cautious review
Graylisted describes something in a middle state between approved and rejected—not fully trusted, but not banned either.
In email filtering, graylisted messages are temporarily delayed rather than delivered or blocked, pending verification.
The term extends to any provisional or probationary status: The vendor was graylisted until they fixed their security issues.
Also spelled greylisted.
