Milter-greylist

Thanks for your replies. But the directory has the proper permissions
for grmilter user to write the temporary dump file.
On the other hand, in my greylist.conf, dumpfreq option has already
been set to 0. But still dump file is empty.

The version that I try to use is : milter-greylist-4.5.16-3.el7.x86_64
It has been installed from the epel repo.
I am very sure that the problem is not related with the permissions.
It could be probably a compilation problem, bug or missing
configuration.

This is my conf file:
##############################################################
socket "/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock"
dumpfile "/var/lib/milter-greylist/db/greylist.db" 640
geoipdb "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat"

racl continue from /.*/ addheader "X-Greylist: inspected by %V for

racl whitelist list "my network"
racl whitelist default

Is there anyone else issuing the same problem?

Thank
Can
