Milter-greylist

Sometimes I get this error message shortly after having started milter-greylist:

Milter (greylist): local socket name /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock unsafe

What's wrong?

My system details:

- Linux ubuntu
- sendmail 8.14.2

I know, what was wrong: milter-greylist was stopped while sendmail was 
running. ;-)

I had the same error message, different problem.

Basic problem: wrong folder for milter-greylist sock.

The correct folder for Fedora 9 is ''/var/run/milter-greylist''.

Some online documentation gives ''/var/milter-greylist''.

Error message in /var/log/maillog:
''/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock unsafe''.

sendmail.mc should have this line in it (among other things):

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

Seems to have helped.

The wiki? or elsewhere?

<http://hcpnet.free.fr/milter-greylist/README>

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

That doesn't work on my system.

It needed /var/run/... instead.

Maybe I have the right README installed on my system.

Nope.  These come back empty:

   locate README | grep milter-greylist
   locate README | grep greylist

man milter-greylist, on the other hand, says

milter-greylist's web site:
     http://hcpnet.free.fr/milter-greylist/

So it looks like I went to the right website for
the documentation.  I grant you that if I were a
better man, I'd've used the RPM rather than yum
and probably gotten an updated README.

Live and learn.
