Hello,

I am trying to install milter-greylist 2.1.3 on AIX .. with more or less
success (see http://hcpnet.free.fr/milter-greylist for what I am talking
about).

On AIX 5.2 (latest ML), no real problem.

On AIX 5.2 (no maintenance level) or AIX 4.3 (maintenance level 11),
I get the following error message at run time:

config error at line 32: syntax error

This concerns the first ACL whitelist of the file (the original sample
file in this case):

acl whitelist addr 127.0.0.0/8

Same problem if I uncomment a peer entry but then, it crashes with the
following message

Mar 13 08:59:42 xxxxxxx milter-greylist: cannot start MX sync, socket
failed: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

On AIX 5.2, ML 7, both problems seem to be solved and the thing works well.

Unfortunately, ML 11 is the lastest maintenance level for AIX 4.3 :-(

Would you have any idea where things could go wrong ? I'm using
bison-1.875 and flex-2.5.33 but I don't think the problem is there.
Actually, after upgrading from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.2-ML7, the problems
disappeared without needing to recompile anything.

So something seems to have been fixed by ML 7 in AIX 5.2 which is still
ther in AIX 4.3.3 (ML 11), but what ?

Thanks in advance for any hint,

hi alain,

I checked the site, it didn't mentioned anything about support for AIX.

I noticed this phrase 'NetBSD, Linux, FreeBSD, Darwin, Solaris, Tru64
UNIX and IRIX, and that it works well on NetBSD, Linux, FreeBSD, and
Solaris'

That's correct.

"milter-greylist has been successfully built on NetBSD, Linux, FreeBSD,
Darwin, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX and IRIX."

It doesn't mean that the list is exhaustive ... It might just be a
little detail that the configuration file is not parsed successfully
under some versions of AIX. I suspect some incompatibility with bison
or the greylisting conf.c file itself. It's fixed in AIX 5.2 ML 7 so I'm
just wondering whether, if I knew what's wrong, I couldn't find a fix
for AIX 4.3 (there is no way I could upgrade to AIX 5.2 on an OLD SP2
node installed in 1996 but it still runs :-).
