Should've thought of that. But the database is indeed 300M in size:
[weerd@despair] $ du -sh /var/db/spamd
306M /var/db/spamd

Indeed there seems to be a weird entry in the database:
[weerd@despair] $ spamdb | awk -F'|' '{if ($2 == "") {print}}'
WHITE||||-8228639089095791570|-4175399804525848451|-4175399804525848451|22653|65536
That's an entry without an IP address. I'm not really sure how I can
end up with that. The partition holding the database (/var) has
plenty of free space available (and according to a history of root
mails, has always had that - not 100% proof of course).
Any ideas on how I can get rid of this record? Or, a bit less
pragmatic but more intriguingly: how I got it in the first place?
