I've used milter-greylist for many years on both Solaris and RHEL and
both can sometimes go to error state combined with the process
consuming huge amounts of memory or simply crashing. A restart of the
process always works. Nowadays I don't see it often though, I usually
have many months of update so it's time to reboot the servers due to
patching anyway.
