Heiko,
Grateful to see the 'Caveat' note on your original fs-based 'grey.sh'
system, wherein it ate all the inodes on a 2GB mount.
JFWIW, it once ate all of the inodes on a 100GB mount as well...
:-(
By comparison, though I no longer do greylisting, writing the 'hits'
into PostgreSQL [1] hasn't raised a sweat, nor would I expect it to do
so with MySQL.

[1] ..which has a decent perl interface among others, though I just use
Exim's INSERT and SELECT SQL calls.
