How about following behaviour? (autowhite=1d, timeout=5d)

1. Return 451 against an email at 0:00.
2. Accept the retried email at 0:20 and add the sender to
autowhitelist whose expiration date is 120:20.
3. Receive another email at 50:00. No change.
4. Receive another email at 110:00. The expiration date is postponed
to 134:00.
