Milter-greylist

Hi,

I'm also seeing this same problem, but only on one machine. I have three
identical systems, all running Solaris 9, Sendmail 8.14.1, Berkeley db
4.3.27, milter-greylist 3.0, mimedefang, spamassassin & clamav. All have
been built using gcc (but not 64 bit). Two of the machines are
absolutely fine, but on the other, when it tries to write to the
greylist.db file, it crashes. This afternoon, I managed to get a write
to the file at 13:07, but not since. Without effecting everything else,
I'm not going to be able to change these to 64bit either (being that
they have a lot of live traffic going through them).

Cheers,

Richard
