README.greylisting says:
- every x time (like 4 hours or two days), remove all greylist entries that
  only saw one mail (i.e. still greylisted, not whitelisted yet).
  This is done with a find cron job
(...)
Then, setup a cron job to delete tuplets that are older than 14 days for
whitelisted entries, and 2 days for greylisted entries (or whatever
values you fancy).
(...)
FILE SETUP
----------
You should install greylistclean.cron in /etc/cron.d/ on your system to
call greylistclean and clean up greylisted entries and whitelisted entries
that haven't been used in a while.
You can optionally modify it to tweak the cleanup times.
Note that you need to tweak greylistclean.cron to match the user spamd runs
as if you aren't using the recommended --username=nobody


Did that not come in the documentation with the sa-exim you got?
Or did you use a package that wasn't setup properly to do this by default?
