Subject: [exim] Problems with greylistd
I'm using CentOS 4.4 I've already posted this on CentOS users but I've
gotten only one (non-useful) reply <frown>.

So I'm hoping someone here has used or tried to use greylistd on either
RHEL or on CentOS and can help me get this running.

Please help if you can, even if by only pointing me towards other
resources.

Thanks!

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.4 (Final)

I downloaded and installed greylistd as follows:

greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm

from:

http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/atrpms/rhel/4/en/i386/RPMS.at-stable/

I installed it without problems.

# rpm -Uvh greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm
warning: greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,

</snip>

But it doesn't run <frown>.

I start it using "service greylistd start".  I'm presuming that should
work, as all the files seem to be in place for it to work.

<snip>
# service greylistd start
Starting greylistd:                                        [FAILED]
#
</snip>

The message in /var/log/messages is decidedly unhelpful; all it tells me
is that the program started and then stopped:

<snip>

greylistd by jlasman(uid=0)
Dec 31 19:43:53 da12 su(pam_unix)[11890]: session closed for user
greylistd
Dec 31 19:43:55 da12 greylistd: greylistd startup failed
</snip>

Any ideas as to what may be going on?  Or where I should look?

Or if there's easily installable source-code available?

Thanks.
