-V or --version switch on the command line so that one could tell what
version they are using.


-l or --logfile command line switch and conf section so that one could
specify a log file to use other than maillog


Documentation on what the "blacklist" does. There is a brief mention
of "blacklist" in the man page but that is it. 


Also, where can I send suggestions for changes to the man page?

What does blacklist actually do? How long does it do for? Does it
depend on the lazyaw for determining what it does? What if an address
is already greyed or whited? Does it matter where in the conf file
they are entered?

Then use & and nohup :-D
 
[blacklisting]

It gets the mail rejected

Forever. It's an ACL rule that will make the mail rejected.

Blacklist overrides autowhitelisting

The ACL works as a first match wins engine. If a blacklist rule match
before a greylist rule, then you get blacklist.

Did I make the thing more clear? Would you contribute a patch for the
documentation to integrate what is missing according to you?

   And will doing so make it pay attention to 'service' commands?

  Just the one message gets rejected? It doesn't affect any other
message attempts? 
Then why have it?  better off using the access file.

   If the blacklist is rejecting more than just the one message, than
this does not answer the question about lazyaw

   When I think I can submit changes that are correct, yes.
I could do piecemeal submissions if you want.

Yes.

No.

Because the ACL syntax is *much* more powerful than the "access" file.
You can e.g. reject message with "*@..." as the sender address
that is send by a computer which is not one of AOL's mail servers.
