My question is how to restart the milter after an error. I am running FreeBSD
5.5 with milter-greylist and sendmail. I made a change with a syntax error and
got:
May 16 20:53:13 newharbor milter-greylist: config error at line 89: syntax error
May 16 20:53:13 newharbor milter-greylist: Final database dump
May 16 20:53:13 newharbor milter-greylist: Exiting
May 16 20:53:14 newharbor sm-mta[19137]: l4H0rCWO019137: Milter (greylist):
write(D) returned -1, expected 59: Broken pipe
May 16 20:53:14 newharbor sm-mta[19137]: l4H0rCWO019137: Milter (greylist): to
error state
so I backed up to the previous conf file and got an unending series of:
May 16 20:53:28 newharbor sm-mta[19142]: l4H0rSwG019142: Milter: initialization
failed, temp failing commands
May 16 20:53:31 newharbor sm-mta[19139]: l4H0rVxw019139: Milter (greylist):
error connecting to filter: Connection refused by
/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock
May 16 20:53:31 newharbor sm-mta[19139]: l4H0rVxw019139: Milter (greylist): to
error state
after trying to restart the milter via /usr/local/etc/rc.d, I eventually gave up
and rebooted. That yielded:
May 16 21:31:59 newharbor sm-mta[21640]: l4H1VxmM021640: Milter (greylist):
local socket name /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock unsafe
May 16 21:31:59 newharbor sm-mta[21640]: l4H1VxmM021640: Milter (greylist): to
error state
May 16 21:31:59 newharbor sm-mta[21640]: l4H1VxmM021640: Milter: initialization
failed, temp failing commands
After trying ../rc.d filter again, I just typed in the appropriate command.
My main question is how should the rc.d script be run? I did a cd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d and
./milter-greylist.sh start
I am clueless as to why the reboot did not work. The command that did work:
/usr/local/libexec/milter-greylist -P /var/run/milter-greylist.pid \
-f /usr/local/etc/mail/greylist.conf \
-p /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock -u mailnull
Thanks for any thoughts
