'"greylist.conf" unavailable' log error

2008-08-24 by Kevin Collins

Hi-

I made a tpyo in my greylist.conf file awhile back when making a
change, which caused it to ignore the whole file and use default
values for everything. I lost track of the rcs edits and went back and
forth between conf files, trying to make it all work. It was pretty
much useless without my custom configuration, so I gave up and turned
greylisting off for awhile. Finally with some spare time, I fired it
back up to debug and stumbled on my error. I broke it months ago, and
wasn't sure which conf file I should be using any more (there were
ones in /usr/local/etc/mail/ and /etc/mail/) and just forced it to use
the one in /etc/mail with the -f option. All works great again, but I
have a feeling it won't if my server is rebooted. This shows up in my
maillog after each call to milter-greylist:

milter-greylist: config file "greylist.conf" unavailable

It *is* working, but I am not sure what this is telling me.

Any idea here?

thanks!
