I noticed this Spamdyke error message:

ERROR: unable to create directory 
/var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist/example.com/redacted/bounce.nytimes.com: Too many 
links

Indeed this user's greylist directory is full:

# sudo ls -dl /var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist/example.com/redacted/ | awk '{print 
$2}'
32000

In fact, I have lots of users with full and nearly-full greylist directories:

# sudo find /var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist/ -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d | 
while read D; do echo "$(sudo ls -dl $D | f2) $(cut -d / -f 7 <<<"$D")@$(cut -d 
/ -f 6 <<<"$D")"; done | sort -rn | head -100
32000 redac...@example.com
32000 redac...@example.com
32000 redac...@example.com
32000 redac...@example.com
32000 redac...@example.com
32000 redac...@example.com
31293 redac...@example.com
30193 redac...@example.com
28559 redac...@example.com
28483 redac...@example.com
[etc…]

What is the best way to solve this? I suspect this is a pretty common issue. I 
wonder if there is a way to remove only seldom-seen senders, perhaps using a 
last-accessed timestamp on the directories? And doing monthly pruning via cron?

Thanks,
Quinn
