Milter-greylist

Hello!

I am trying to implement milter-greylist at a quite high mail volume site. In peak we have about 12 mails a second and a total of about 500.000 mails / day.

The greylist daemon seem to last for about 10 minutes or so before the following errors pop up on the log..

Aug 31 16:24:38 7800005 sendmail[14741]: [ID 801593 mail.error] l7VEOS0D014741: Milter (greylist): timeout before data read, where=negotiate
Aug 31 16:24:38 7800005 sendmail[14741]: [ID 801593 mail.info] l7VEOS0D014741: Milter (greylist): to error state
Aug 31 16:24:38 7800005 sendmail[14741]: [ID 801593 mail.error] l7VEOS0D014741: Milter (greylist): init failed to open
Aug 31 16:24:38 7800005 sendmail[14741]: [ID 801593 mail.info] l7VEOS0D014741: Milter (greylist): to error state

Does this mean the milter daemon simply cant cope ?

In busy hours we have about 400 sendmail children running.

The Machine is a Quad Cpu AMD-64 (extra all) with 4 GB memory running Solars 10, and yes I have compiled 64 bit binarys. 

Is there anyone out there with experiences using milter-greylist in a  site with similar volumes ? 

Tia.
