Are you sure this is not a Solaris bug? Quoting from an e-mail which
somebody sent to this list a while ago:

	Ok, I found the problem. Milter-greylist is innocent. It's a Solaris 
	bug. Solaris 8 needs the 108827-40 patch (which has since then been 
	obsoleted by 108993-39). There seem to be severe leaks in
	getaddrinfo() and friends in non-patched libpthread/libsocket/libnsl.

Solaris 9 might require a similar patch.

The "error state" message is printed out by "sendmail", not by
"milter-greylist".

	Kind regards
