Please don't drop me from Cc when replying to me. It's quite impolite.

I did think about removing entries when we accept mail -- but since we
still need to run the cron job _anyway_ to clean up after the messages
which _weren't_ retried, I didn't really see the point.

It's just more complexity without any real benefit -- the size of the
greylist db isn't really much of an issue in practice, is it?
