-= HOW TO INSTALL THE UPDATE SCRIPTS =- In order to get the block map tools working on your system, you will need to have a local copy of the lists. The easiest way to do this, is to get them using the update_lists.pl script which is included in this package. This document will walk you through the installation of this script. Prerequisites: This documentation assumes you are using Linux on i386 You will need "perl" and "curl" installed on your machine You will need bunzip2 installed in your PATH You will need at least 650MB of free disk space in /var/cache Installation: 1. copy the update_lists.pl script to /usr/local/bin/ 2. chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/update_lists.pl 3. edit the value of the "$command" to match your curl binary 4. mkdir -p /var/cache/bms/incoming 5. "chown -R" the /var/cache/bms directory to change the owner to the user who will be running the update script. 6. manually run the /usr/local/bin/update_lists.pl script as the proper user, and verify that the files are created in the /var/cache/bms directory. 7. add a line to your crontab which runs this script every hour to keep the lists up to date. 8. mkdir -p /etc/magic-mail/control 9. add the names of the lists you want to use with the tools to the /etc/magic-mail/control/block_lists file (one per line, no extra spaces, comments, or blank lines). Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to use the blsmtpd and bmslookup tools on your server. They will use the block_lists control file that you created to determine which lists to use for their operation. See the man pages of these individual programs for more information.
