on our system, sendmail continues processing "normally", but more stuff
slips through because milter-greylist is not running. We have a regular
cron job that checks to see if milter-greylist is running and restarts
it if not. Since I've just implemented mon (from kernel.org), I'm
considering redoing that cron job as a mon monitor with an action script.
