Important question: Why are you restarting milter-greylist?

In general you don't need to ever restart milter-greylist, as it periodically
checks to see if greylist.conf has been modified and will reload it if it has.

Don't believe me? Try it and check your logs for messages like this:

Nov 28 16:13:06 xanadu milter-greylist: reloading "/etc/mail/greylist.conf


The only time you should need to restart milter-greylist is when it has gotten
wedged or is otherwise borked.
