1.5.4:
        Avoid race conditions when reloading the config (Attila
Bruncsak)
        Full blown IPv6 support, from Hajimu Umemoto
        rc-debian.sh script, from Joel Bertrand

So if you don't hit the bug Attila experienced, you don't really need to
upgrade. Testers are welcom, though.

I thought it was already available:  
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/67252

In fact a lot of spammers do retry now, with an interval of a few
seconds. This defeats low-end greylisting implementation, but
milter-greylist is still safe.

Have you tried poking a few printf at key places to check what happens?

Here is the revelant part of my sendmail.cf (I don't use .mc files to
build it):

# Enable milter
O InputMailFilters=rcptfilter,greylist

Xgreylist, S=/var/run/milte-greylist/greylist.sock

O Milter.macros.connect=j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, {if_addr},
