if you check your process list, you will see that a process greylistd is
running, the daemon start but, the notification for sucess have a bug with
this package rpm from atrpms. For declaring success in the start, the init
script search for a process greylistd active, but in the wrong way.
open /etc/init.d/greylistd with any editor of your choice
go to the line 25 that say
ps uax | grep -v grep | grep '/usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/greylistd' > /dev/null
change the /usr/bin/python word for /usr/bin/python2.3
ps uax | grep -v grep | grep '/usr/bin/python2.3 /usr/sbin/greylistd'
> /dev/null
(maybe my editor cut in two the lines above.)
with this change, the service will report correctly that the daemon is active.
happy greylisting (i have this one in tho exim systems to my charge, and i
love this)
