Could be an "unsafe socket" problem; make sure that none of the directories / /var /var/spf-milter are world-writable. > At the time I downloaded it, I was just looking for an RPM of > spf-milter, and that's the one I found....

Jef's milter is called (surprise) spfmilter, and its home page is: http://www.acme.com/software/spfmilter/ I have RPMs for it at: http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/mail/ You'll also need libspf2, available at: http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/libraries/ There is also a libspf-based RPM of a slightly older version (0.92) of the milter, libspf-milter (requires libspf), also available at: http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/libraries/ Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
