spamd used to reaper any outstanding GREYs when an IP ascended to WHITE status, but this behaviour changed somewhere near the time the sync protocol showed up. the detrement is that the db file might be a bit bigger, the benefit is that you get to still have access to that GREY data to see what various hosts are up to. while running spamd(8) on a host that took a very high volume of email, after about a week i was seeing around 300000 WHITE entries and about 250000 GREYs, so leaving the old data around and letting it expire out naturally is not nearly as big of a capacity issue as i had first thought. -- jared
