Milter-greylist

I am happy to report that the patch allowed me to find the problem and all is well now. However, this brings up two additional things I saw while troubleshooting. I am not an expert at using the /etc/services, xinetd and iptables, but here is what was causing the problem.

When I originally installed the software, I couldn't connect. So I suspected the port was being blocked, so I added the mxglsync  5252/tcp to the services file. I then created a mxglsync file in the xinetd.d directory. This didn't work, so I deleted the file in xinetd.d and messed with the iptables. This allowed me to get mxsync working on the two Fedora boxes. 

On the Redhat 8 box, I had left the entry in the services file. It seems if you put this entry in the file, mxsync tries to use port 33300. The patch identified the port and I realized this behavior from yesterday.

On other observation, whenever I execute "make install" the /var/milter-greylist directory gets chowned to root.smmsp. I can never get milter-greylist to work without re-chowning this to smmsp.smmsp. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your help and this is a great product.

Brian.

I attach a patch that you can apply to the code. This surely not solve your
problem
but may give some hints where the problem might be.
God knows what else can be broken. At least we will be sure that you try to
bind to port 5252.

On the other hand if you are running as non-privileged user the
milter-greylist
please try it out as root.

Bests,
Attila
