Make sure that the directory where the socket shall live exists,
has the right permissions and is identical in greylist.conf and
sendmail.mc/cf. I have the following in my greylist.conf:

pidfile "/var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.pid"
socket "/var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock"
dumpfile "/var/run/milter-greylist/greylist.db"
user "smmsp"

And this one in sendmail.mc:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greymilter', `S=unix:/var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock')

And ls -ld /var/run/milter-greylist gives me:

drwxr-xr-x 2 smmsp root 4096 Mar 21 16:51 /var/run/milter-greylist/

Bye,

Check out the recent discussion.  It looks like you might have had the same
problem I did, may have picked up a distribution where the pipe is in a
non-standard location?  One of the developers made excellent response to
what I posted...

Hi,



I have installed this plugin just as the
instructions explains and rebuilt the sendmail.cf file so that all the
extra
input becomes available and then I started milter-greylist as explained and
then
I restarted sendmail.



Sendmail tells me that the socket specified is
missing.  When I search for a milter-greylist.
sock I can't find any.
How do I actually get this socket to appear so that sendmail can use this
plugin?



Any comments welcome.



Regards,

Johan
