Since a resend will come as a new message it's hard to track absolute
numbers at the greylist host. One can use the last line in the db as
an indicator with the number of greylisted tuples vs autowhitelisted
but the last number is highly affected by your static and dynamic
whitelisting.

I have a setup with two gateways running milter-greylist, they deliver
to another pair of servers running MailScanner with ClamAV and
SpamAssassin. I compare how much incoming connections each pair gets.
When I restart milter-greylist it's also very noticable on the
MailScanner servers, all graphs (Vispan) spike immediately.
