Dan,

Mayonnaise will keep for a lot longer than 3 months unrefridgerated, even
opened. Its not the mayo that goes off, but normally a contaminated spoon or
knife that has scooped out the product. i.e. butter on knife, or spoon not
cleaned correctly. It's this cross contamination that kick starts the
chemical reaction. In the UK, mayonnaise is not sold refridgerated, but
stacked on shelves.

Saying that, I usually keep mine in the fridge once opened.
