Re: (greylist): timeout before data read and (greylist): to error state

It did, there is only one libbind.so.4 (actually a symbolic link to 
libbind.so.4.0.2) in /usr/lib/ and LDD shows that this is where its 
linked.  libbind.so is also a symbolic link to the same file as well.
These are from Bind 9.3.2 which is thread safe.

[root@mailscanner1 bin]# whereis milter-greylist
milter-greylist: /bin/milter-greylist
[root@mailscanner1 bin]# ldd milter-greylist
 linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00f02000)
 libbind.so.4 => /usr/lib/libbind.so.4 (0x00d2e000)
 libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x00918000)
 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x008d1000)
 libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0085f000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x006e8000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x006cb000)

I recompiled without DNSRBL and removed the DNSRBL lines in 
greylist.conf and the servers have been stable!  In fact I only 
recompiled on one server, the other 3 servers I just removed the 
lines from greylist.conf and restarted Milter-Greylist and they are 
stable as well, so there seems to be a bug in Milter-Greylist when 
compiled on Fedora Core 5 or 6 with Bind 9.3.x that causes 
instability under high load (2000-3000 messages rejected per hour)
