Some things to say:

When building vpopmail, the process died when it couldn't create /var/qmail. The reason it couldn't is because it already existed, in fact, I had made a separate partition/mount point for it! To get around this issue (without ripping down my file systems and re-doing them), I umounted /var/qmail, mv /var/qmail /var/qmailBAK and ran the process again. When vpopmail was done, I saw a "rm -fr /var/qmail" command in the build process and heck! What was that all about?!? So I undid the umount and the mv command and all seems to be well --- *this* email server *seems* to be working fine anyway ....

What I'd like for someone to do or tell me how to do is have the rpmbuild-er check to see if /var/qmail exists (and then erase what's in there) instead of just die because it can't create /var/qmail.
I've always built mine by hand when doing things like this. Maybe Nick will adjust the package some to make it a little more environment friendly.


Also, I modified the build script for qmailtoaster-admin (?) with the 'spambox 1' flag and built it --- so how do I know that it worked? When in Qmail Admin, creating a new account, there is a checkbox at the bottom for "Spam Detection?" Is that it? Gee, I was thinking each user in Squirrelmail would have a SPAM folder which SpamAssassin would read to make itself smarter ...
Yes it will. And yes, all you see is the spam detection box for right now. The first time that user gets a message that scores above the score in the mailfilter script it will create the folder. It will not do so until then. Also make sure that you have the spam flag in simcontrol set appropriately, or you'll be deleting messages there as well.
