What about building automaticaly in postinst?

Don't worry, I do it by hand :)

Ok. You can get my diffs from ftp.lander.es:/debian/local/source/

: Do you think we should produce two packages, ucspi-tcp & ucspi-tcp-rbl so 
: people can have the vanilla version as well?  I was going to do this for 
: qmail, since you can put the rbl stuff in there for use under inetd.

The answer is easy (I think): tcpserver with RBL support adds two
new options:

       -s     (Default.)  Attempt to set BOUNCEMAIL using the  IP
              address     from     the    RBL    documented    at
              http://maps.vix.com

       -S     Do not attempt to set BOUNCEMAIL

So I suggest to just include only the rbl-patched version. I first
thought that default should be -S, but tcpserver primary use is for
qmail-smtpd, and before you can run tcpserver you have to read its
small manpage... so I think the default option is ok.

Anybody disagrees?

: Cheers, Phil.
