Milter-greylist: cannot read dumpfile

Postfix is active and running.
Postgrey is active and running.
Greylisting seems to be working.

However, file greylist.db is not created.
An error is logged to journalctl:

milter-greylist[397]: cannot read dumpfile "/var/lib/milter-greylist/greylist.db"
milter-greylist[397]: starting with an empty greylist

Hmm. Nobody has any ideas?

Does this happen more than once? That’s a normal start the first time.
