OTOH, such errors I've usually seen during the parsing of confih file. Make sure its line 245 is sane ;) generally it is slmething to worry about because syntax errkrs in config preclude it from loading and MGL daemon from starting. That's why it has a switch (-c ?) to check the config in advance. I use that to combine configs from several templates, verify the resulting file, and promote it to 'live'. New configs are autoloaded upon next verified message, no manual reload is necessary.

Although "dump" in your log may point to the db... gotta trace the sources to be sure. But it was MGL that put the entry there, right? So it was deemed to pass the syntax... on the other hand, if you'd mangle the greylist.db file (remove that line or fix it to have a name before @), does it fix the message?
