Thanks for the patch. I've had a look, and it seems that the
integration of blacklistd is pretty straight-forward.
I think it deserves being integrated into INN, with a proper
--with-blacklistd Autoconf probe (instead of an error if blacklistd is
not found). I'll have a look. As I do not run FreeBSD myself, it would
be great if you could somehow test it.
