No; 'daemon --user=smmsp milter-greylist ...' executes something like

| sudo smmsp -c "milter-greylist ..."

Therefore, milter-greylist will be started as non-privileged user 'smmsp'
who does not have permissions to execute initgroups().

FWIW, Fedora Extras has a milter-greylist package which should be easy
to adapt for CentOS.
