Did you reload postfix after the config change? You should see messages
when postfix can't connect to your milter. Placing the socket under
/home/ seems a good reason to check whether postfix actually has access.
Try placing the socket in /tmp while testing stuff (and in /run/ when
you go in production).

Also, are you running the milter process in the foreground, or is it
already managed by some systemd/upstart/init script. Maybe the milter
produces a traceback on stderr which is caught (hidden in some
unexpected logfile) by the init script? Try running the milter from the
commandline, so you see the traceback immediately.

Kind regards,
