One observation regarding this. It seems that not all tuples get removed 
from the greylist once a server is whitelisted, f.i.:

greylist.db:212.66.8.12 <emarlist@...> 
1134412272 # 2005-12-12 19:31:12
greylist.db:212.66.8.12 <emarlist@...> 
1134412274 # 2005-12-12 19:31:14
greylist.db:212.66.8.12 <konlist@...> 
1134678152 AUTO # 2005-12-15 21:22:32

I removed the recipient's for privacy reasons.

The last line moved to the autowhitelist, but the first two lines remained 
in the greylist although a message with exactly this tuple went thru later 
as autowhitelisted. So, lazyaw works for the server, but only the first 
tuple to "initiate" the whitelisting gets removed from the greylist. All 
other remain on it. Will they expire?
Similar question: what happens with tuples that never try again. Will they 
eventually expire, f.i. after the default 72 hours expire for the 
autowhitelist? If not, the file will assemble a lot of garbage over time.
