Milter-greylist

Well Milter seems to have given up after four hours or so of that load.
 
It started reporting reported this:
Oct 12 17:44:31 hns1 sendmail[5004]: [ID 801593 mail.info]
i9D0iLB5005004: Milter (greylist): to error state
 
then lots of these:
Oct 12 18:56:11 hns1 sendmail[16658]: [ID 801593 mail.error]
i9D1u0m8016658: Milter (greylist): timeout before data read
 
and later on lots of these:
Oct 13 03:29:00 hns1 sendmail[29937]: [ID 801593 mail.error]
i9DAT0qw029937: Milter (greylist): error connecting to filter:
Connection refused by /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock

and some of these (6500 of these):
Oct 13 03:29:21 hns1 sendmail[173]: [ID 801593 mail.error]
i9DATB5L000173: Milter (greylist): init failed to open
 
Don't forget these:
Oct 13 08:23:48 hns1 sendmail[28793]: [ID 801593 mail.error]
i9DENm0R028793: Milter (greylist): write(Q) returned -1, expected 5:
Broken pipe
 
 
When I try to start milter-greylist now it throws these, with lots of
line numbers:
Oct 13 14:17:15 hns1 milter-greylist: [ID 861475 mail.error] error at
line 83054: syntax error

I zeroed the greylist.db file and it started right up and is working
fine.  The size of the greylist file was:
43391130 Oct 13 07:46 /var/milter-greylist/greylist.db
    
Anyone have any thoughts?

Anyone have experience with milter-greylist on a high volume server?  By
high volume I mean 250k incoming mail connections per day?  I've had
some problems in the past with milter falling apart under loads like
this when trying to use MPP and a virus scanner.
