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) -- Black Hand Amiga Addicts
