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?

no answer from the reporter...
