It could simply be a configuration issue with his syslog.
In fact it's pretty easy to mess up the config so you get
duplicate messages to the same file. I don't think it's
related to the actual problem.

(On the statement print "42 monkeys" + "1 snake":) By the way,
both perl and Python get this wrong. Perl gives 43 and Python
gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when the answer is clearly "41 monkeys
and 1 fat snake". -- Jim Fulton

I think the problem is fixed. These errors do not
show up and milter-greylist does not die ... yet (in 5 hours
so far...)
I took over the system built by a previous sysadmin
who left before I came in... It runs milter-greylist version 1.6 and it is
started using this command:
/usr/local/bin/milter-greylist -u smmsp -p
/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock;
These errors shows up after I upgraded to the
latest version - 3.1.1
What I did was to start milter-greylist using the
supplied rc-solaris scripts and it works fine now.
I had trouble compiling version 3.1.1 on the
running box (solaris 8) so I compiled it fine on Solaris 10. It seems
to run fine on Solaris 8 which only requires one missing lib.so file wich I
copied from Solaris 10...
Thanks,
An Nguyen
