On Solaris 2.8, milter-greylist may grow out of memory pretty quickly 
due to some bugs in the pthread nsl and socket libraries. It is strongly 
recommended that you install the latest revision of patch 108993 (sparc) 
or 108994 (x86). Solaris 9 and later don't seem to be affected.
Solaris patches are available from <http://sunsolve.sun.com/>
