sorry but you're wrong. I've tested the actual configuration and it's working. Besides, judging after source files, the default configuration directory is /etc/bfilter. An "-c /etc/bfilter" option would be redundant. Could you elaborate why do you think bfilter isn't blocking without specifying configuration dir?
