The start/stop script has been placed in $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/rbl-milter.sh Run the program now with the start command to get rbl-milter running. By default, it uses the relays found at relays.ordb.org but you can change that by modifying the script. It accepts multiple -d commands for multiple site checks. Note that you will need to edit the proper sendmail.mc file in your /etc/mail directory so that sendmail will pass mail to rbl-milter. If you have not done this before, do the following: cd /etc/mail cp -p freebsd.mc `hostname`.mc Add the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER line to the file: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`rbl-milter',`S=local:/var/run/rbl-milter') and rebuild it make make install make restart By default, the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER line will ignore the filter if rbl-milter is not running.
