Yes, it does it itself. The service file starts milter-greylist the same
as the init script in my test (except that it runs in the foreground
under systemd).

The interface between MTA and milter-greylist is only the socket. I had
a look at the source code of milter-greylist and the socket is created
by libmilter, that is part of sendmail. I would have looked at it, if I
could change it in milter-greylist, but I don't think, that I want to
touch sendmail.
