        Ah, that doesn't match..

        In rc.conf, you say that sendmail is going to be
setuid(root), yet its not.  It's setgid(smmsp).

        So, that needs to be corrected, in one fashion or
another..

        What version of NetBSD are you running? (obviously <
4.0)

        As I recall, ever since about 2.0,
sendmail_setuidroot=NO + smmsp=YES has been the default.. (and
what I've used.

        Are you making sure that milter-greylist is running
before attempting to start sendmail? (not that it should matter,
sendmail will recover after milter-greylist starts up.)

- toad# ls -ld /var/milter-greylist
- drwxr-xr-x  2 smmsp  wheel  512 Oct 28 20:41 /var/milter-greylist

egsner-> ls -l /var/milter-greylist
drwxr-xr-x  2 smmsp  wheel  1024 Oct 28 23:22 /var/milter-greylist

        I'm curious, which MTA do you normally run?  postfix 2.3
now has milter support as well, if that might make your life
easier..
