Testing sendmail + milter-greylist

[Tim Alberts]

I have a standalone test FC5 box running sendmail.  I yum install
milter-greylist...went through the docs and found I need to add

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist',
`S=local:/var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT', `j, {if_addr}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_HELO', `{verify}, {cert_subject}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVFROM', `i, {auth_authen}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT', `{greylist}')

to my sendmail.m4 and rebuild.

I started /usr/sbin/milter-greylist.  I restarted sendmail 'service
restart sendmail' (after rebuilding with webmin interface) and in my
system log error messages I get

Oct 10 15:21:13 localhost sendmail[1955]: sql_select option missing
Oct 10 15:21:13 localhost sendmail[1955]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available

Any comments or suggestions?  Again, at this point it's just a dumb test box with the 'default' sendmail.m4 file.
All I want to do is play with milter-greylist a bit before I try and deploy it on a server.

I've been using milter-greylist for a long time (since version 1.5).  I
built my own RPM for version 1.6, and then I converted over to the RPM
in the extras repository when version 2.0 became available there.
I added the following lines to my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file:
> dnl #
> dnl # Greylist Milter Support
> dnl #

Then I ran "make -C /etc/mail" like it says in the top of that file.
Then you have to start milter-greylist:
    service milter-greylist start
and if that works, restart sendmail:
    service sendmail restart
(reload may be good enough).

Check /var/log/maillog for any problems after that.
