I probably had to install some of them, now that you mention it....

Not until an email comes in. service says that the PIDfile exists, but
no process is running.
When an email comes in I see:
Oct 17 09:37:47 kjc386 sendmail[2296]: i9HDblkJ002296: Milter
(spf-milter): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by
/var/spf-milter/spf-milter.sock
Oct 17 09:37:47 kjc386 sendmail[2296]: i9HDblkJ002296: Milter
(spf-milter): to error state
Oct 17 09:37:47 kjc386 sendmail[2296]: i9HDblkJ002296: Milter:
initialization failed, temp failing commands
And the email is then bounced (temporarily) by sendmail.

Not sure, I haven't looked whilest it was dead. It certainly exists
after I restart it. I also see some "log" files in there. But the
recent spflog-2004xx.log files only seem to be recording the successful
startups:
/var/spf-milter/spflog-200410.log
Fri Oct 15 18:06:34 2004: Starting Sendmail::Milter 0.18 engine
Mon Oct 18 00:19:39 2004: Starting Sendmail::Milter 0.18 engine
Not much useful there either. I have to go back to the
spflog-200402.log file to find a log of "failed" emails. (which I'm
pretty sure was my previous version.) Yes, I realize that they are
being logged in the /var/log/maillog these days.

At the time I downloaded it, I was just looking for an RPM of
spf-milter, and that's the one I found.... I was looking to upgrade to
a more up-to-date SPF implementation than I had been running.
What is the name of Jef Poskanzer's milter, and where might I find it,
and is there an RPM for it?
