Milter-greylist

They disappear, and when the box isn't taking much mail it gets a lot
lower.  A little while ago it got down to 40 then down to 21, then back
up to 116 again.  So I wonder if these are legit and I just happened to
have a bunch of sendmail grandchildren.
 
Sure enough, look at this:
 
$ ps -ef | grep -c sendmail
124
$ lsof | grep 10919 | wc -l  \\ 10919 is milter-greylist
    128
 
So I guess I need to increase the number of file descriptors.

It seems there are dead connexions between sendmail and milter-greylist.
Do you have junk sendmail processes lying around? Maybe awaiting for DNS
resolution?

By using lsof you should be able to find who is connected at the other
end of the socket. Are there alive processes?

Given an entry of socket used by milter-greylist in the lsof output,
will it disapear after some time, or does it stay there forever?
