Bug Description

After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, greylisting stopped working on my mail server.

It seems that the script /usr/sbin/greylistd is not valid python3.

Changing the first line of /usr/sbin/greylistd from #!/usr/bin/python3 to #!/usr/bin/python2 allows me to start greylistd with "sudo service greylistd start", and it seems to function properly, but "sudo service greylistd stop" does not seem to stop greylistd as expected.

1) Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   Release: 20.04
2) greylistd:
  Installed: 0.8.8.8
  Candidate: 0.8.8.8
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.8.8 500
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) I expected greylist daemon to run after boot or "sudo service greylistd start"
4) greylist daemon exited immediately after start attempt, probably due to syntax errors.
