Please explain how you expect to find documentation for something that
doesn't exist. The last time I checked, rblsmtpd didn't seem to implement
multiple -r options, therefore I'm at a loss to understand how you expect
to document a non-existent fact.
rblsmtpd's docs describe rblsmtpd's functionality. Your problem is that
you did not realize that what you want is to chain multiple invocations of
rblsmtpd. You can argue that that's a rather stupid thing to do, but you
can't argue that something which doesn't exist isn't documented. Well,
duh...

I was almost afraid to ask what in blazes you are talking about, but I
think that I've finally figure it out.
What you are referring to as a 'dependency' is a separate package, but the
patch itself can be easily adapted to use any filtering engine, even
procmail, instead. In fact, I used to include instructions on using
procmail as an alternative, at some point in the fact. However, I felt
that procmail is rather broken in that regard, and was giving people a
nasty
headache.

Eighteen years.

The thought never occured to me. I generally don't measure penis sizes
that way.

On most days, yes.

I'm hoping that someone else would also write and inform you that I'm not
known to be overly concerned about others' opinion of me.
