Milter-greylist

Hi Emmanuel,

You're spot on, I modified sendmail.cf to add:

Xgreylist, S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock, T=S:1m;R:1m

The Timeouts at the end were empty.

This seems to have occurred on the sendmail version upgrade performed recently.

Adding the greylist feature into sendmail.mc, running make, would produce the
above in sendmail.cf automatically with other milters.

With this newer sendmail, it doesn't do that but leaves it as:

Xgreylist, S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock,

which fails to run due to the last ",".

With the last comma removed, it runs but defaults to timeouts of 10 seconds.
Adding the timeout values fixes it, but there's an underlying problem still to
work out with the sendmail make.

I've checked the file:

/usr/share/sendmail-cf/feature/milter-greylist.m4

and it looks OK to me, with the confGREYLIST_OPTIONS meant to be populating
the sendmail.cf

Basically it doesn't do it while the earlier sendmail I'm sure did. Strange.

Thanks again.

Michael.
