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

nm : libbind.so.4.0.2 : no symbols   :(

libbind.so.4.0.2 is part of bind-libs-9.3.2-20.FC5

Searching the system reveals only this libbind.so.4.0.2 (and the 
symbolic link to it), reinstall of bind-libs-9.3.2-20.FC5 results in 
the same file being created.
I went ahead and downloaded

Downloaded the latest development
bind-libs-9.3.2-41.fc6.i386.rpm
bind-utils-9.3.2-41.fc6.i386.rpm
then rpm -U bind-util* bind-libs*

New file is created Sep 11th, 2006, (libbind.so.4.0.2)
Same Symbol Results (nm: libbind.so.4.0.2: no symbols)

Obviously this is a Bind 9.3.2-41 file so it has to be thread safe.

Database size is 40 megs now (greylist.db)
System stable after 24 hours with DNSRBL disabled in greylist.conf, 
no MX Sync.

All your comments have been appreciative!  Would love to implement 
DNSRBL if it can be stable on Fedora Core 5 / 6
