Upgrading Milter-Greylist

Mon, 12 Sep 2005

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: confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT, 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).
