Hi Lisa,
Changing the source worked great.
If you want to do the same, open bulk_mailer.c and go to line 1004 (in
version 1.13) and change bulk_mailer to whatever you want. I changed mine
to domainname_blk_mlr, as I wrote down below somewhere, then I did
./configure
and
make
and then
cp bulk_mailer /usr/local/bin
where pwd = /root/rpms/bulk_mailer-1.13
Have some fun.
