Milter-greylist

OK, that code is in. I recompiled and it's running.  I haven't seen any
output from it yet.  However I'm a C nincompoop, so let me know if the
syntax is correct here:
 
    if ((dumpfd = mkstemp(newdumpfile)) == -1) {
                syslog(LOG_ERR, "mkstemp(\"%s\") failed: %s", 
                    newdumpfile, strerror(errno));
                syslog(LOG_INFO, "dumpfd = %d", dumpfd);
                exit(EX_OSERR);
        }

Now, that's interesting: you hit a file descriptor limit. That suggests
a file descriptor leak. Nobody ever reported that, but your setup is
quite heavyweight.

In dump.c, after the mkstemp call, add

        syslog(LOG_INFO, "dumpfd = %d", dumpfd);

Run milter-greylist, and check in the log if dumpfd increases as time
goes. If it does, check the open files for milter-greylist (with a tool
such as lsof) and look for similar pool of open files that keeps
growing. Is it a file (which one)? Is it a socket?

That's okay, it just means that milter-greylist was terminated because
of a resource limit (file descriptors), and that there was no change to
flush to disk at that time. It didn't crashed, it quitted safely.
