Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: milter-greylist

I just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy via the alternate CD. In the
process, a previously running sendmail installation broke. The problem
is the perissions on /var/run/milter-greylist.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# service sendmail start
 * Starting Mail Transport Agent (MTA) sendmail                                 
451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1764: Xgreylist: local socket name 
/var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock unsafe: Group writable directory
                                                                         [ OK ]

(Why Sendmail reports OK I don't know, but that's another issue.)

The workaround is simple:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cd /var/run/milter-greylist/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/run/milter-greylist# ll
total 0
drwxrwxr-x  2 root     greylist   60 2008-05-02 17:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root     root     1000 2008-05-03 03:33 ..
srwxr-xr-x  1 greylist greylist    0 2008-05-02 17:43 milter-greylist.sock
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/run/milter-greylist# chmod g-w .

srwxr-xr-x  1 greylist greylist    0 2008-05-02 17:43 milter-greylist.sock
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/run/milter-greylist# service sendmail start

Thanks!
