Ive been running postgrey for years without any problems but today I 
noticed I hadn't gotten email for awhile and realized upon investigation 
that postgrey wasnt running so postfix was rejecting mail.

What's maddening is that I can run postgrey quite happily from the command 
line in the foregorund, but if I try to use the init script or otherwise 
try to daemonize it, it silently crashes:

# /etc/init.d/postgrey start
  * Starting Postgrey ...
  [ ok ]
# pgrep -af postgrey

Its not running.

The logs dont show anything useful. If I ask the init script to be verbose 
I see this:

# /etc/init.d/postgrey start --verbose
  * Caching service dependencies ...
  [ ok ]
  * Starting Postgrey ...
  * start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/run/postgrey.pid': No such file or 
directory
  [ ok ]
#

which doesn't make much sense.
