milter-spf 1.41: Failed to set timeout value!

2004-06-25 05:58:59
Hi,
   New to the list...  I was trying to get milter-spf 1.41
working with sendmail 8.13.0 (solaris 9, perl 5.8.4 built as
sun4-solaris-thread-multi, installed Sendmail-PMilter-0.93 instead
of Sendmail-Milter-0.18 which does not build on solaris).
I followed the install instructions: got the needed perl modules
installed, got my sendmail.cf modified, stopped sendmail, and did:

/etc/mail/sendmail-milter-spf-1.41.pl smmsp

It coughed up the message: Failed to set timeout value!

Questions:
1) Why the message?  How to fix?
2) Is it a wise idea to run it as smmsp, or should I create
   a new pseudo-user for this?
3) Will version 1.41 work with sendmail 8.13.0?
4) Is there a list specific to the spf milter?
5) Any plans for a SEARCHABLE list archive for spf-discuss?
6) Assuming that I can get milter-spf working, I would
   like to run it some non-destructive mode for a while,
   eg tempfail emails without SPF listings, or just syslog
   the fact that a site doesn't have SPF (without rejecting
   the emails) -- run it in "test" mode.  How??
