That's a generic error that sendmail fires when milter-greylist stops.
Check the logs to see if you have a message from milter-greylist telling
why it exited. If you have not, it means it crashed.

On Solaris the biggest problem is the file descriptor limit, but since
you used a 64 bit binary, that should not happen.

The next usual culprit is memory limit. Check ulimit -a output and
monitor milter-greylist memory usage. If it stops when reaching the
limit, then you need a higher memory limit.

Given the setup you have, milter-greylist should eat a lot of memory.
Are you applying greylisting to all your users?
