This used to bother me the first few weeks of using milter-greylist, now,
every single time I make a change to the greylist.conf file, my next command
after saving that file involves a "milter-greylist -cf /etc/mail/greylist".

Get into the habit of doing that and the milter-greylist config error problem
goes away.
