Public bug reported:
It seems that when issuing 'systemctl restart milter-greylist.service',
it tries to start the new instance before the old one is completely
gone.

This is probably caused by the incorrect unit file generated by systemd:
$ systemctl cat milter-greylist.service
# /run/systemd/generator.late/milter-greylist.service
# Automatically generated by systemd-sysv-generator

When restarting mitler-greylist, systemd executes '/etc/init.d/milter-
greylist start' and '/etc/init.d/milter-greylist stop', however
'/etc/init.d/milter-greylist restart' actually has got an additional '--
retry 5' passed to 'start-stop-daemon --stop' so that start-stop-daemon
can make sure that the process does finish.
An easy fix is to add --retry to '/etc/init.d/milter-greylist stop' as
well. I've tested it and attached the patch here. But it'd be probably
better to ship a proper systemd unit file.
