Ok, I'm trying your technique using John Kirkland's code, and something's not working quite right (though it probably has nothing to do with my having commented out those 2 lines). Everything is running. I used the create script to create the database & tables, but it gave me an error. When I looked in MySQL though, everything was created properly. So moving right along, I built the mimedefang-filter and mimedefang-filter-greylist scripts (the only changes were some minor configuration things, like database password), and restarted MIMEDefang. It's been runnning for about 40 minutes now, and I'm still not seeing any records in the greylist_data table. I do see 4 processes connected to MySQL using the 'greylist' userid (corresponding to the 4 MIMEDefang slaves that are currently running), but they all show the command as "sleep", and have nothing for status or "SQL Command". When I look at query statistics, there is definitely some activity going on, but nothing seems to be making it into the database (there are other databases in this MySQL server, but they're pretty static - there's very little activity going on with them), so I'm assuming that whatever activity is taking place, is somehow related to the greylist database. Permissions should not be a problem. The greylist user is currently allowed all priveleges (though this will change once I get things working). I don't see any errors in the maillog. Anyone have an idea of how to troubleshoot this?
