Hello, > By the way, our database holds only 35000 entries; could there be some > memory leak ? hmmm.. It could, I found some for our environment with an unknown origin outside the reach of milter-greylist or libmilter, deep down at thread creation or libbind. We monitor milter-greylist usage, which is a good thing anyway. If it grows beyond a threshold of real memory usage, we stop it, and reduce greylist.db by - all entries with no valid recipient (LDAP knowledge, address form) - all greylist entries of sending IPs with too many recipients which eliminates 80%, and start milter-greylist afterwards. This cycle takes ~ 5 seconds and hurts nobody, sendmail defaults to temporary rejection. M. Fromme
