I have no problem (its running now) when I use a different greylisting milter
and has been for years. I know, too, that the relaying between the two is catered
for in the access list and I have the server whitelisted in the config files.

However, your filter has a *lot* off advantages over the other one, hence why I
want to use yours.

When I start yours, instead of getting a temp fail its getting a relaying
denied and as soon as I swtich back to the older one everthing is fine.

What can I do to figure out why this is happening?
