Out of interest, why do you compile your own instead of using the Fedora
package?

Mine is at http://david.woodhou.se/eximconf/include/acl-greylist
I run http://david.woodhou.se/eximconf/greylist-tidydb.sh from cron to
expire entries from the database.

A better version, updated to use sqlite instead of text files, is at
http://david.woodhou.se/eximconf/include/acl-greylist-sqlite and its
expiry and database creation scripts are in
http://david.woodhou.se/eximconf/greylist/

The only thing to note is that I don't greylist indiscriminately -- the
other ACLs mark "suspicious" mail by adding to the $acl_m0 variable.
Only if that's non-empty does the greylisting kick in.
