[Greylist-users] relay_ip whitelist problem

It appears that sometimes the database query for the relay check comes  
up empty handed, when it shouldn't.

Here is an example on one of my servers (RH, sendmail 8.12.10, mysql  
3.23.54, relaydelay 0.04).  The extra info is debugging I added to  
convince me that the relay_ip check was actually happening.  This  
message should have been whitelisted.

The whitelist db entry was created by my poprelayd.  Yea, I know, use  
smtp auth.  I need something during a transition.  I'd rather  
transition without all the spam.
