RE: [cobalt-developers] Adding spam blacklists to sendmail on a Cobalt server

["Bob G" <bobgerman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're right, I had a typo in there, sorry. :)

Where exactly are you seeing the "Warning dangerous permissions" error?

Also, I specifically UN-recommend using Spamcop as a blacklist.  

(1) it's too aggressive
(2) it's not always up, and when it's down your mail server could fail
(3) spamcop themselves says not to use it in a production environemnt.

But the rest of them, sure.

So, now I've had it with spam and followed your directions. everything 
goes wel except for the cd /etc/sendmail, should be cd /etc/mail :-( .

But I had als this annoying WARNING dangerous write permissions. Is that

normal??
