That's five million with graylist pruning set at three weeks.

I'm quite happy running with my graylist-weeks patch, which makes all
this unnecessary.

Yes, it's on SamC's TODO list. That doesn't really cause a problem for
me, the level of list traffic against spam traffic is insignificant.
Here's some stats:
1062951 59.03% DENIED_GRAYLISTED
565115 31.38% DENIED_LOCAL_FROM_TO
152910 8.49% ALLOWED
10826 0.60% TIMEOUT
6142 0.34% DENIED_OTHER
2462 0.13% DENIED_TOO_MANY_RECIPIENTS
246 0.01% ERROR
---------------- Summary ----------------
Allowed: 152910 8.49%
Timeout: 10826 0.60%
Errors : 246 0.01%
Denied : 1636670 90.89%
Total : 1800652 100.00%
Spamdyke is knocking out 90% of the mail that's trying to get in. Mailing list
traffic is a small proportion of the remaining 10%.
(DENIED_LOCAL_FROM_TO is mail that is addressed both To and From a
local user, which I also reject as that should never occur on this
server.)
Thanks,
