Re: (greylist): timeout before data read and (greylist): to error state

2006-10-17 by Brian J. Lewis

First thank you for your quick replies Emmanuel.  I appreciate it.
I am not a linux expert, so I am trying the best I can on this.
I compiled using 
'./configure --prefix= --enable-dnsrbl --with-libbind=/usr/local'
on Fedora Core 5
with RPM installs of
bind-libs-9.3.2-20.FC5 and bind-utils-9.3.2-20.FC5

From what I can tell I have a libbind.so and libbind9.so in /usr/lib, 
so maybe I should be compiling using --with-libbind=/usr/lib ?

Also how can I figure out if those RPM installed versions of bind-
libs 9.3.2-20 is Thread Safe or not?

Thank you for your help...
