Milter.runmilter() does indeed hand off to libmilter, and will not
return until shutdown.  I'm not sure what python-daemon does, but it may
be incompatible with libmilter.  If your milter runs started by hand,
then just use daemon to start it:

daemon --check ${prog} --pidfile "${piddir}/${prog}.pid" --user mail \
        daemonize -a -e "${logdir}/${prog}.log" -o "${logdir}/${prog}.log" \
                -c "${workdir}" -p "${piddir}/${prog}.pid" \
                /usr/bin/${python} ${script}.py

Is this for systemd or sysvinit ?
