If I set FAILSAFE=0 what will happen? Will it bounce mail while cleanup
is running, or defer it? Will it go back to normal after cleanup is done
running, or will it require intervention to start accepting mail again?

Hmm, I think we had similar problems, and ended up doing a weekly
truncate on the triplet table to avoid it getting too large.

#! /bin/sh -
echo counting triplets...:
echo select count\(\*\) from triplet\; | mysql -u policyd -h mysqlserver
--password=ppppassword policyd 
echo truncate triplet\;  | mysql -u policyd -h mysqlserver
--password=ppppassword policyd

Yes, policyd is being bypassed... so everything should be working the
same as if you weren't running policyd at all. Nice failsafe mechanism.
