Yup.

For the wiki, I would recommend leaving out all of the drama.  And 
humor.  :o(

When I started working on it, I had intended to sum up what
worked.  But I made such a mess of everything that I don't
know what someone starting fresh (and doing things right)
would need to care about.  I don't remember what the
ownership or permissions were that came out of the build.

Right now, I can't see the forest for the trees.  It's been a long
couple of days.  I didn't re-edit greylist.conf or milter-greylist.
They've got some comments in them born of frustration.  And I
forgot to uncomment a section (putting it back the way it
was in the original).  It's in milter-greylist:

======= hacked up code ======
#OPTIONS="-P $pidfile -p $socket"
#if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/milter-greylist ]
#then
#    . /etc/sysconfig/milter-greylist
#
# MXM: looking in all the wrong places?
#  didn't make any difference
OPTIONS="-P $pidfile -p $socket"
if [ -f /etc/mail/milter-greylist ]
then
     . /etc/mail/milter-greylist
fi
======= end hacked code ========

The original reads:

OPTIONS="-P $pidfile -p $socket"
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/milter-greylist ]
then
     . /etc/sysconfig/milter-greylist
fi

My bad.  I'll fix it on my own wiki after dinner.  If
you want to put it on the wiki, it might be nice to
make the change back to the original.
