Default Re: Tryng to install greylisting on AIX


That's correct.

"milter-greylist has been successfully built on NetBSD, Linux, FreeBSD,
Darwin, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX and IRIX."

It doesn't mean that the list is exhaustive ... It might just be a
little detail that the configuration file is not parsed successfully
under some versions of AIX. I suspect some incompatibility with bison
or the greylisting conf.c file itself. It's fixed in AIX 5.2 ML 7 so I'm
just wondering whether, if I knew what's wrong, I couldn't find a fix
for AIX 4.3 (there is no way I could upgrade to AIX 5.2 on an OLD SP2
node installed in 1996 but it still runs :-).
