well it is working, but before it was realesed, GeoIP package was released and installed, but after the installation of the miltergreylist it shows: ● milter-greylist.service - Grey listing filter for sendmail Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/milter-greylist.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2020-01-20 12:43:56 +03; 2s ago Main PID: 8427 (milter-greylist) Tasks: 4 (limit: 5041) Memory: 2.9M CGroup: /system.slice/milter-greylist.service └─8427 /usr/sbin/milter-greylist -D

so how to make it compile with GeoIP?

I've intentionally compiled it without GeoIP support because MaxMind stopped releasing updates for the legacy GeoIP databases about a year ago and hence any GeoIP data is quite likely to be wrong. This would get worse during the long lifetime of EL8.

Updating to libmaxminddb rather than GeoIP won't help either, because MaxMind have changed the license terms for their current databases and we can no longer redistribute them.

thanks for the clarification, but is the miltergrey-list itself, is it still maintained?

milter-greylist itself hasn't had a release since 2016 but on the other hand it could be regarded as stable software that doesn't need to be frequently updated. It certainly still works and I'm comfortable running it on my own mail server.

good to hear from a Doctor who tries his medicine on himself first :)
