So that's how it's done. But how about his question then?

The actual timeout (as when it's obsolete and can be removed) is from
only the timeout value, right?  Not a combination of values like
greylist+timeout. So in theory you can greylist longer than you keep
the tuples (which wouldn't make sense)? This is how I interpret the
config examples.
