Could you check that this behavior also occur with 4.0rc2? Just in case
the bug you see has already been fixed?

The upgrade path is really straightforward: your config file and
greylist database should keep working as they did in 3.0.x

Um, right, it's 4.0rc1. I'll make rc2 soon, I just need to add a sample
config file with all the fancy new features. (contributions are welcome)

Thank you.

At the risk of sounding silly - how do I upgrade ?  Do I download the latest
tar.gz from the milter-greylist site or do just run yum upgrade
milter-greylist ?

I ask because when I installed this I had to construct an rpm for my system
from ther tar.gz using rpmbuild and then install it using rpm
-Uvh.

I don't know about the packages that come with your distribution, but
as fas as milter-greylist is concerned, you upgrade by just replacing the
binary and restarting the milter.

Make sure you supplied the same --with-user options to configure, or you'll
might have to tweak permissions.

It's up to you how do you upgrade - you can use tar.gz or yum update,
if you have yum repository set up which has milter-greylist package.

That's a good option.

Emmanuel, do you think it's worth moving section 16 "Packaging" after
the 1st section (and probably making it a subsection)?

Well, I'd rather add a reference to section 16 in section 1. What do you
think?

Dries (of rpmforge) has kindly provided the RPM support of milter-greylist, so
you'll find it in the rpmforge repositories.

As a general rule, rpmforge don't provide beta's of any packages, so when the
latest milter-greylist goes stable, I'm sure either him or Dag will provide
the RPM for that release too.

Regards,

Michael.

It's OK too.
