That's probably because your postfix is misconfigured. Normally a policy daemon missing means that the test is skipped. FWIW a better replacement is written in a thing called "pfixtools" (look for it on the web), I still need to package it, and it doesn't have the issue. whitelister is abandonned as is. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madco...@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
