Re: (greylist): timeout before data read and (greylist): to error state

2006-10-17 by Brian J. Lewis

Maybe this is a clue?  Check this out, these are weird errors, its 
greylisting but its also erroring same time.  I can email you a GZIP 
of the log that has all this weird stuff in it if it will help.  
Maybe a corrupt greylist.db? Or just too large? (21 megs)
