Subject: Temporary dir for mailpost

Hi,
Regarding this ticket:
https://inn.eyrie.org/trac/ticket/81
"mailpost tries to store its message ID database in INN's pathtmp, but
since it's usually running as the mail system (often daemon) rather than
as news, this fails."
What should we do?
We already have a -b flag that permits to change the directory of the
database.
With "-b /path", we currently have:
- database => /path/mailpost-msgid
- temp files => /var/run/mailpost.time.$$ and
/var/run/mailpost-crosspost.time.$$
Without any argument:
- database => $INN::Config::pathtmp/mailpost-msgid
- temp files => /var/run/mailpost.time.$$ and
/var/run/mailpost-crosspost.time.$$
In the man page:
Normally, mailpost is run by sendmail(8) via an alias entry:
local-mail-wreck-bikes: "|<pathbin in inn.conf>/mailpost
-b /var/tmp -d local local.mail.rec.bicycles.racing"
Does someone remember what is supposed to be done for that ticket?
Isn't the -b flag enough for that?
Incidentally, shouldn't the -b flag also be used to specify the
directory of temp files, and $INN::Config::pathtmp be taken otherwise?
(we currently have /var/run hard-coded!)
