WARNING about missing sock file at startup

WARNING about missing sock file at startup

2005-12-13 by Mike Loiterman

Running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE

When I startup my machine, I get this warning in dmesg:

WARNING: Xgreylist: local socket name
/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock missing

It seems that the sock file is deleted before a reboot or shutdown and,
obviously, is missing at startup.

Is there a way to turn this error off, or to not delete the sock file before
a reboot or shutdown?  It isn't the end of the world, as the milter seems to
run quite fine once the sock file is created, but it would be nice if the
milter started up without errors or warnings.

Verbose is off in the config file.

I don't get this warning after a reboot.

I'd say that sendmail starts before milter-greylist, and the socket is not
yet there. Try starting milter-greylist before sendmail.
