 an other solution for the next minor release, is to keep long strings
for from/to field before regex matching (mlfi_envfrom, mlfi_envrcpt,
strip blanks) in milter-greylist.c

 just after, strings can be truncated to a small ADDRLEN (chances are
low that collisons be harmfull) and the remainig code left untouch

 its a very small modification with no risk of breaking what already works

 hashing (md5) could be used instead of truncating to definitively
prevent collisions, keeping fixed length allocations (see my other
post) ... but it more than a minor release

 LF.
