The goal is to remotely shut-down milter-greylist with a disk dump. You
can do this by issuing a signal and catching it, but that is wrong
because libmilter documentation says we should not catch signals. 

An alternative is to have a control socket, or to use the MX sync socket
to get the shutdown command.
