Milter-greylist

Emmanuel,

I think you are right about me stating the port wrong. However, I have never been able to get the mxsync to work if I have the following entry in my /etc/services.

mxglsync		5252/tcp			# mxsync port

When I perform a packet capture, the mxsync doesn't talk on port 5252. I actually tries to talk on the 33812 port. Is this correct? Because the 33812 port is not open in iptables. I opened 5252.

Like I said, I am new with the iptables, etc., but the packet capture seems correct.

Here is an attached ethereal dump file. First is the attempt with the services entry, second without. The second is successful. Any ideas?

This allowed me to get mxsync working on the two Fedora boxes. 

xinetd has nothing to do here. You should just need it in /etc/services

Is it really 33000? Not 33812? (33812 is 5252 in reverse-endian display)

Here is the revelant line in Makefile.in
${INSTALL} -d -m 755 -o ${USER} /var/milter-greylist

What -o means on your system?
