Upgrading Milter-Greylist

Upgrading milter-greylist from 1.6.1 to 2.0:

cd /usr/ports/mail/milter-greylist make (read the README and Changes files for items) (noticed a new line in the .mc file: confMILTERMACROSENVRCPT, so I add that) (noticed that the whitelist syntax is different than before: have to add ‘acl whitelist’ in front of ‘rcpt’ and ‘domain’ directives now) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/milter-greylist.sh stop make deinstall make reinstall

I touched and chown’d /var/milter-greylist/greylist.db to ‘smmsp’, the started milter-greylist:

sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/milter-greylist.sh start

Seems ok so far.

Upgrading milter-greylist from 1.5.6 to 1.6.1:

cd /usr/ports/mail/milter-greylist make /usr/local/etc/rc.d/milter-greylist.sh stop make deinstall make reinstall

That seems to do it. However, I’m a paranoid type, full of all kinds of mischief, FUD, and cargo-cult practices. So I check the greylist README and make sure my /etc/mail/hostname.mc is up-to-date with the recommended changes there (it was—greylist hasn’t changed for a while).
