Yes, but I need some help with running the milter under gdb.
I compiled it with debugging info, and tried running it 2 different 
ways, but sendmail complains that it cannot connect to the filter.  I 
can see the filter running, but maybe I need to give certain gdb commands?

The first way I tried was: gdb milter-greylist
then, I ran it with (gdb) run <my arguments>, where <my arguments> were 
the arguments that I normally use.

The second way was that I started the milter-greylist like normal, then 
ran gdb with the pid number like this: gdb milter-greylist 2265

Both ways seemed to work fine, but then when I started sendmail, it 
could not use the milter as usual.
