I haven't ever had it work. I'm running Gentoo and I've installed from source, not portage. I've tried not putting dbmail.conf in /etc and I get nothing but errors from dbmail looking for the conf file.

/var/run/dbmail has no files in it. I even recompiled this afternoon and tested, no dice.

I'm not a C programmer so I don't know how to fix this, but when compiling dbmail it ignores the --sysconfdir= directive during configure. Should write a script to compile it. I've compiled quite a few of these on multiple hosts since it first came out, but usually I configure it this way. It also ignores the localstatedir directive and leaves all its state and pid files all over /var/run

../configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/run/dbmail --sysconfdir=/etc/dbmail --with-mysql --with-sieve

Its minor, but I thought you should know. It worked this way on the 2.0 branch, too.

Curtis,

This does work as advertised. I always use those since they are required for the debian packages.

from debian/rules:

CONFFLAGS=--prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man     \
    --sysconfdir=/etc/dbmail \
        --localstatedir=/var/run/dbmail \
    --with-logdir=/var/log/dbmail \
    --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info
