Milter-greylist

These errors popped up my maillog after a reboot this morning:

Jan 26 07:29:52 ciscy milter-greylist: unknown token "[" line 387, skipping 
Jan 26 07:29:52 ciscy milter-greylist: unknown token "]" line 387, skipping

Jan 26 07:29:52 ciscy milter-greylist: error at line 442: syntax error 

After poking around a bit, I deleted the greylist.db file and that seems to
have solved the problem.  If that was it, what might have caused it to be
corrupt or have an invalid value?

I had that problem too just yesterday, infact :-)
If you had looked in the greylist.db at the line you get the complains about, you would probably find some strange email-address.
I just deleted that line (in your case, line 387 and 442) and then milter-greylist started just fine...
The address that milter-greylist had caught for me was something like this:

	Z[-1]@somedomain.com

You can ignore these errors safely. They just mean that "milter-greylist"
couldn't parse a few lines with invalid e-mail address and therefore
didn't reload the entry.

That was unnecessary and possibly harmful.
