Re: setting up Smartlist with sendmail

Just found my this old question was not answered and the problem still =

remain. Here is what I found - it appears the install script is =

expecting the target directory to be trailed by a slash ("/") as in:

   sh install.sh /home/slist/

when the trailing "/" is missing it keeping complaining it's "Not a =

directory" (this runs in an endless loop that can halt a machine). I think =

this is a bug that should be fixed.
