My opinion, for what little it is worth, is that if the current Makefile can''t be fixed with a working ftp host for the ips.txt and domains.txt files, then the code should be dropped. Once the non-working code is out of the tree, then RBL or other options can be considered. It doesn't make sense to me that dead code was left in because the RBL discussion ended without conclusion. -ck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
