Yes, because large ISP has potential ENORMOUS list of ip+address+datetime 
pairs. Imagine ISP with 50k+ users and tens of millions of hosts sending 
it mail. (eg typical large university)

Already we are seeing greylist daemon size of 300mb+ on our mailserver. 
And we're a relatively small isp.

DB needs to be moved outside of the daemon. Keeping everything resident 
is unusable for huge mailservers.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
