I guess I'm really confused. I wasn't aware you had an autoconf guy, which is why I submitted the autoconf stuff that is currently in 1.0 and cvs.... Since then I've submitted a couple of patches which would have allowed dbmail to use either the old style build, or the autoconf build interchangeably on the source (http://dbmail.adiis.net/files/Makefile_includes.patch) and some fixups for autoconf bugs (http://dbmail.adiis.net/files/dbmail_must_choose_sql_backend.patch). Had these been applied dbmail could have used either build system interchangeably. Instead, the 1.0 tarball contains a mostly broken without tinkering autoconf system that most people will probably try because they see ./configure :) If you have an autoconf guy who is going to redo the work currently there, or if you weren't planning on using my work, I don't understand why it was distributed with 1.0, and if you are planning to use the current autoconf system, I don't understand why the two non code invasive patches that would have put a working autoconf system weren't applied. -- Ryan Butler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ADI Internet Solutions http://dbmail.adiis.net - dbmail patches
