Did you tried to increase system limits? Most of the time, this is the
problem because milter-greylist wants to use a lot of memory.

If that does not help, rebuild milter-greylist with -g option to cc, and
use gdb on the core file (you have a core file, right?) to get the
backtrace, using the bt command.

If everything is blacklisted in the access DB, milter-greylist won't be
able to handle any mail.

You should use a logical or between (macros you already use) and (macro
milter-greylist needs). Having additionnal macros defined will not hurt
milter-greylist.

The README suggests you should use WHITE.
