We've tried a different approach. Had it running for a year or more, but
it periodically barfs and dies. So I have a further step of having a
chron job that watches milter-greylist and restarts it if it dies.

Anyway, we have C code that's patched into milter-greylist to read the
popip.db from poprelayd and not greylist if an entry is found in the
database. We are trying to convert everyone to using secure
authentication with smtp, but older clients cannot do that. So our use
of popip.db is maintained to help those on older computers with older OS
and clients.

I believe Lawren Quigley-Jones who wrote this code sent it in. He's no
longer here. If anyone is interested and no one has any memory of it
being submitted before, I could do a diff (patched vs. orig) and send it
in. You could look at it and see if it is useful. I have it running with
milter-greylist-1.6. We also have a patched version of
milter-greylist-2.0.2, but that seemed more unstable when we tried to
bring it up. So we've stayed with 1.6.
