Milter-greylist

Hello,

is anybody using "milter-greylist" under Solaris SPARC? Does it work stable?

	Kind regards

P.S. See <http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc64/2007/12/04/0000.html>
     for the background.

4.0 is very stable for me. Lots of work was put in to making it stable
though. Read more here too:
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/stdio_256.html.

As a Solaris user you might also be interested in using
milter-greylist packaged from Blastwave with dependency handling much
like apt/yum.

I recently upgraded from 1.6 to 4.0 after seeing the exchanges regarding 
Solaris fixes.

Fingers crossed, I have had no instability problems so far -- about a 
week. Previously, with 1.6, my cron script would see milter-greylist 
down periodically and restart it. Unfortunately, there was often a dead 
period when it wasn't down but was not functioning properly, and my cron 
wouldn't catch that.

I'm running it on three servers. Probably handle a few hundred thousand 
messages a day. Solaris 9. Sun E250s. Sendmail 8.13.6.

I don't mess with blastwave on this stuff. Just get the source. It's an 
easy one anyway.
