Milter-greylist

Hi,

I have installed and am running milter-greylist 3.0 (will upgrade to 
4.0 once it's 'released'), and I was wondering how triplet timeout works?

I configured and compiled using:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mcpu=i686" \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
             --sysconfdir=/etc \
             --with-delay=900 \
             --with-timeout=18000 \
             --with-autowhite=3110400

and looking at /var/milter-greylist/greylist.db, there are entries in 
the greylist which are older that 18000 seconds (5 hours). Is 
'timeout' for this purpose?

milter-greylist only clean up timed out tuples when it walks the database
and encounter them. So if the database is not searched up to an expired 
tuple, it will remain here.
