I don't think the stack limit is a problem for milter-
greylist.  But the number of file descriptors (which is
limited to 256 on your system, IIRC) may well be a
problem, especially if your mail server is quite busy.

Therefore lifting the limit of the number of file
descriptors to at least 1024 is certainly worth a try.
