From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-ac1 i686)

Description of problem:
If you use linuxconf to configure sendmail you are given the
option (under "features") to enable the use of the Realtime
Blackhole list. Selecting this and generating a new sendmail.cf
does not result in a configuration that uses the blackhole list.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable realtime blackhole list.
2. regenerate sendmail.cf and quit linuxconf
3. send an email to nelson-rbl-test
	

Actual Results:  You get a message from linux.crynwr.com that you should
not
have gotten because it is on the RBL

Expected Results:  That message should have been dropped by sendmail.

Additional info:

Why does linuxconf not use the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file to
generate the /etc/sendmail.cf. Everybody, including the sendmail
developers, suggest you do so. If you don't there is a high
probability that your rules are wrong.
And viola! they are wrong the RBL feature isn't working.

Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore

Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
