[Greylist-users] relaydelay dies with ERROR: Unable to open access.db file

[Evan Harris]

You need to be sure that the version of BDB used by sendmail and perl are
the same (or compatible).  The problem you describe will happen if they
aren't.  Make sure that the BerkelyDB perl module is the right version for
the one used in sendmail.
