Oops, I found some mistakes and corrected them in sendmail.cf
These lines were missing:
O InputMailFilters=mimedefang, ismilter, greylist ==>> the last word "greylist" is missing so I added it
Xgreylist, S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock ==> this line is not there and it's added
It seems to work fin after these additions. I do not know if I still miss anything else.
Thanks for any tips regarding to making this work better.
