FWIW, I don't see this on my Centos-7, where I just brought up
milter-greylist. something in our configurations differs?

Itwill always appear at warning level if milter-greylist is built with
GeoIP support and no database was set. 

Indeed the log level is a bit excessive.

Thanks for your effort. Does that mean in every e-mail check of milter-greylist it is making geoip database query whether or not there is a rule including

Yes, it works that way because it does not know in advance if it will
hit a GeoIP clause in an ACL. 

The lookup is just reading a record in a local file, this is a small
overhead. It could be optimized by using a global flag at config file
parsing to track wether there is a GeoIP clause somewhere.
