Not sure what exactly euid is? uid? effective uid?

After all the explanations I think it is simply the init script which is wrong. 
It's wrong to put the intended milter-greylist user as startup option for 
daemon.

Either:
user="smmsp"
OPTIONS="-u $user -P $pidfile -p $socket"

or
#user="smmsp"
OPTIONS="-P $pidfile -p $socket"
#(user is in greylist.conf, anyway)

together with startup line:
daemon /usr/local/bin/milter-greylist $OPTIONS
#(no --user=$user)

will do it.
We don't need any startup user for daemon, it should be started from root 
anyway, shouldn't it?

I verified that it works for me. I also verified that -u overrides the ini 
option.
