Ok, so, here's the advantage. If you set the user to something other than root, it errors out. That's why I added the daemon.

What SEEMS to happen using the original startup script on Centos is the files (such as the socket file) are built as root, THEN, the user changed to the correct user (in my case postfix), meaning, postfix cannot write to the files. Perhaps this is a bug in milter-greylist.

When run with daemon, the program is started as that user and this the files all have the correct owner. So, that's why I made this change.
