Hi,

Sorry but I was busy during the holidays and didn't get back to trying
this until now.  So I removed python-pydns-2.3.0-1 (along with
python-pyspf-2.0.1-1 since there was a dependency) and installed
pydns-2.3.0-2.4.  But when I tried to reinstall python-pyspf-2.0.1-1, I
got a failed dependency error.

"python-pydns is needed by python-pyspf-2.0.1-1.noarch"

So I installed python-pydns-2.3.0-1 again.  And I started the milter using
the shell script.  But it seems to die immediately:

[root at boxen rpm]# /etc/init.d/milter start
Starting milter: [  OK  ]
[root at boxen rpm]# /etc/init.d/milter status
milter dead but subsys locked
[root at boxen rpm]# cat /var/log/milter/milter.log
2007Jan03 16:16:35 bms milter startup

I have these packages installed on my fairly vanilla CentOS 4.4 box.

milter-0.8.6-2.RH7.i386.rpm
pysrs-0.30.11-2.noarch.rpm
python-pydns-2.3.0-1.noarch.rpm
pydns-2.3.0-2.4.noarch.rpm
python2.4-2.4.4c1-1pydotorg.i386.rpm
python-pyspf-2.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Something seems to be borked but I'm not sure where to look.

Thanks for being so patient with me.
