I dump the DB every 48h, but I have also made the decision not retain tuples for more than 5h since imo a server that have not returned after 5 hours should again be delayed. This decreased my db-dumps from about 2GB down to 2-300MB also all problems related to db-dump disappeared. Also I had to increase the milter-timeout. With the default value (5 sec if not misstaken) I notices about 10% of the total greylist-lookups failed. After increasing the value to 60 sec (reccomended by someone in the list) I have only seen a few timeout errors.

There seems to be different opinions whether to dump frequently (say
10m) or seldom (say once a day or so). Is it a necessity to dump the
whole db from memory to disk every time?

I've read on the list a few times about support for SQL, I guess that
would make it possible to do incremental dumps or maybe
milter-greylist should access the SQL db directly and not use a db in
memory any longer?

Any news on that?
