I guess you supplied milter-greylist with a config file containing
syntax errors. Since the config is reloaded automatically when it is
changed, it's sometime easy to screw things up.

Since 3.0. alpha 3, you can check the syntax without actually using it:

$ cp /etc/mail/greylist.conf /tmp/
$ vi /tmp/greylist.conf			<-- here I introduce an error
$ milter-greylist -cf /tmp/greylist.conf 
config error at line 1: syntax error
$ vi /tmp/greylist.conf			<-- here I fix the error
$ milter-greylist -cf /tmp/greylist.conf
config file "/tmp/greylist.conf" is okay
$ su -m root -c "cp /tmp/greylist.conf /etc/mail"
