I know this is a lte reply, but I have installed that RPM and it seems
to be working. The ip_allow file is now /etc/mail/access (look in
/etc/mail to see all the others). My problem is that there are *.db
(access.db, etc.) files in there. Anyone know how to get this thing ot
work? I just now added the IPs but it seemed to have been allowing them
just fine for the past couple weeks.. Thanks..

|F{LocalIP} /etc/mail/ip_allow
|F{LocalNames} /etc/mail/name_allow
|F{RelayTo} /etc/mail/relay_allow

|Hope that helps.
