Some time ago, I tries converting milter-greylist to use a DB style file,
but it was not possible to have a strong garantee that the file would not
be currupted if the milter died during operation. The current scheme ensures
that the text dump is never corrupted.

Moreover, does your machine throttle because of the file size? Mine has 
92268 lines in greylist.db, load is 0.30.

Bigger setups would benefit from alternative storage backends. There have
been discussions about this last week on the list, but nobody seems to 
be in such a need for the feature, since nobody volunteered to work on it :-)

Good question: why not use Message-ID? Anyone has an idea?
