Inodes being eaten by tuplets/ and SA* log directories

Hey all,

Just a suggestion: could a note be put in the documentation about the greylisting tuplets and their possible effect on inodes?

I have no quibbles with the way tuplets or stored, but having never before run out of inodes before, it was never something I really thought about until I had none left :-) I'd forgotten to install the greylist-clean script in my crontab and so had thousands of tuplets. The /var/spool/exim/SA* directories that store copies of rejected/teergrubbed/etc mail also have a (somewhat lesser) impact on inodes.

On a more positive note, since I've been using SA-Exim the spam rate for me and my users has dropped by about 80%. I've just installed the FuzzyOCR plugin for SA too which is working really nicely :-)

Thanks for all of your hard work Marc,
Matt
