That was a possibility... but I wanted to allow mail admins to easily 
integrate optout/optin into their admin infrastructure. An ISP should be 
able to add a switch somewhere in its user interface to allow its user 
to decide themselves if they want the greylisting. This is far easier if 
optin/optout decision is stored in database.

Checking files for modification is time-consuming too (especially when 
they become large). SQLgrey only does this for the "local" whitelists 
which should:
- change rarely,
- remain quite small as their content is fed to the main whitelists upon 
notification on this list.

If you don't want to develop a web-based interface, editing database 
entries is rather straightforward if you install a generic web-based 
database admin tool like phpPgAdmin (PostgreSQL) or phpMyAdmin (MySQL) 
(I'm not sure for SQLite but I believe there is an admin package out 
there too).
