Thanks Logan, it was a good idea to check the du -k :

696046  auto-whitelist

Looks like the file is half used in fact...

Regarding the volume, I have about 40000 messages by day including spam, and
if I remember well, I thing this file has never been cleared...

You might try typing "du -k auto-whitelist".  It could be a sparse file, and
the amount of disk it's actually using isn't as large as what you think.

It does seem a little large, but it's hard to tell.  Mine is this size:

     -rw-------   1 root root 5234688 2006-08-31 12:04 auto-whitelist

but then, I have a fairly low-volume site (less than 1000 messages a day,
including spam) with not all that many users.
