Okay cool.  Thanks for the info.

Well, since you asked :)  I have a few suggestions/questions.

1.  The RPM should not be called milter-*.rpm.  That seems to generic,
IMHO.  How about calling it pymilter-*.rpm or python-milter-*.rpm

2.  Why does the RPM install executables and stuff in /var/log/milter/
?  That should be a "logfile" directory.  Shouldn't a lot of that
stuff go in /usr/share/pymilter/, /usr/lib/python-milter/, or
/var/lib/pymilter/ or something like that?

3. Maybe change the RPM from Red Hat focus to Fedora focus.  Are
people still using Red Hat 9 or earlier?  Though a package for CentOS
or RHEL might be useful.

Thanks,
John
