Hi Eric, I can contact you off list but I want to be clear, the problem isn't with TMDA, it's with preline. And preline is part of the qmail-1.03 package. I need some help understanding if preline is compatable with the 64bit OS and if (and how) I can recompile it to work.
We are in the situation where TMDA is going to be required. We were using it on our last server in our "qmailrocks" setup. Now that I've switched us over to qmailtoaster the install worked fine, but it wouldn't run. I've narrowed it down to preline giving a weird error, and it must be either incompatable with 64 bit or corrupted. In addition I have tried using TMDA without the preline and it worked for the initial incoming email. But after the sender gets the confirmation, and returns the comfirmation, preline is required - (per the TMDA website). If preline cannot do what I need, I'll have to find another option to do what preline did. By the way, the currently installed spam filters do seem to block emails to us that we would consider 'valid'. They also seem to let through spam that we would not like to get. TMDA resolves both of these issues. With TMDA we didn't have this problem, and the owner wants it back. And as far as I know, there are no technical issues with compatability or anything like that from installing TMDA. So I'm looking for some instructions on rebuiding preline? Or does anyone know if preline is incompatable with CentOS 5 64bit? If it is, I'll have to try something else.
