Just found my this old question was not answered and the problem still remain. Here is what I found - it appears the install script is expecting the target directory to be trailed by a slash ("/") as in:

sh install.sh /home/slist/

when the trailing "/" is missing it keeping complaining it's "Not a directory" (this runs in an endless loop that can halt a machine). I think this is a bug that should be fixed.

Now I am setting up Smartlist with qmail (on a RH mamchine).

qmail is installed and tested.

Previously I only copied Smartlist over from a similar platform (RH Linux). Now I decided to install from the source:

I unpackaged SmartList-3.15 over procmail-3.22 (I cannot find procmail-3.15, thus by tweaking the folder name I managed to have them in the same dirrectory "procmail-3.15").

Now when I run

...

cd procmail-3.15/SmartList sh install.sh /home/slist

it spit out endlessly the following line:

install.sh3: line 3: cd: .: Not a directory install.sh3: line 3: cd: .: Not a directory install.sh3: line 3: cd: .: Not a directory ...

that evenually I had to kill the process.

Is it a version problem or else?
