Suggestions for the README file

2008-02-25 by Bob Smith

First of all, great program!

I ran into some difficulty when first installing milter-greylisting 
because of my lack of knowledge.  Had I been more knowledgeable, I would 
have realized that the suggestion to append the lines

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist',`S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT', `j, {if_addr}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_HELO', `{verify}, {cert_subject}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVFROM', `i, {auth_authen}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT', `{greylist}')

to the end of the sendmail.mc file would not work, not because they 
might conflict with other milter macros (I had no other milters, so I 
thought it was safe), but because the lines don't end with 'dnl'.

As I know next-to-nothing about M4, the omission was far from obvious.

In any case, assuming milter-greylist.m4 is kept up-to-date, I see no 
reason to reference those lines.  Instead, it ought to just say to append

include('/path/to/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.m4')dnl

where '/path/to/milter-greylist' should be changed to match the 
appropriate directory.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
