 Hi,
 
 is it possible that you have also spamlogd running?
 
 spamd honors the times given (spamd.c line ~1132 variable whiteexp),
 but if you have spamlogd running then the white times are pushed to
 36 days (from grey.h) after the sending machine is whitelisted and
 connects to your MTA.
 
 
 See the following test.
 
 # -- file /etc/rc.conf.local
 obspamd_enable="YES"
 obspamd_times="-G 1:6:2"
 obspamd_flags="-5 -v -l127.0.0.1 -S0 -s0 ${obspamd_times}"
 
 
 # 1st. connect
 # spamdb
 GREY|127.0.0.1|foo|sender at example.com|rcpt at example.com|1241892180|1241913780|1241913780|1|0
 
 # 2nd. connect after one minute
 # spamdb
 GREY|127.0.0.1|foo|sender at example.com|rcpt at example.com|1241892180|1241892278|1241913780|2|0
 
 # again after DB_SCAN_INTERVAL 60
 # spamdb
 WHITE|127.0.0.1|||1241892180|1241892278|1241899531|2|0
 
 
 Now look at the timestamps from the white entry
 
 # date -j -r 1241892180
 Sa  9 Mai 2009 20:03:00 CEST
 
 # date -j -r 1241892278
 Sa  9 Mai 2009 20:04:38 CEST
 
 # date -j -r 1241913780
 Sa  9 Mai 2009 22:05:31 CEST
 
 The whitelist time is around 2 hours.
