Hi all, This is about the postgrey hang that I talked about previously. Really Annoying. (And I'm still happily running postgrey without any problems on my own machine, of course...)

Jose, can you please confirm the versions of the postgrey,
libberkeleydb-perl, libdb4.3, libdb4.4 (depending on the libberkeleydb-perl
verison either of those is used) and perl Debian packages that are
installed on your system?
Anything special about your system? Xen, vmware or whatever? NFS or
some other network based filesystem on the partition where the database
is located?
Just to be safe: below is the diff between postgrey 1.27 and the Debian
version. I changed config file locations and it runs as group postgrey
instead of nogroup. I don't think there is anything that could trigger
this behaviour.
