Old problem: the code that reloads the dump is more picky about the
addresses than the code that do the dump. Someone really have to fix
that.

But it shoulnd't prevent you from reloading, that just makes a lot of
spurious errors.

Your system probably has resource limits, haven't it? On your setup, you
need a huge amount of memory. Did you make sure that milter-greylist was
able to use all the memory it needs? what ulimit -a says (in sh/ksh) in
the shell where you launch milter-greylist.
