I'm new to this list and there doesn't appear to be any searching option for
the list archives, so please excuse me if this issue has been mentioned
before...
When issuing a
./configure --disable-status
during installation of QPopper 4.0.3, the resulting binary is different from
using a plain "./configure" however the X-UIDL header still shows up in
messages that have been popped. It doesn't make any difference whether the
mail client leaves the messages on the server or pulls them. Any message
handled by QPopper have the X-UIDL header followed by "garbage" text
(assuming the garbage part is normal).
The "--disable-status" and X-UIDL info is referenced on page 41 and 58 of
the Qpopper Administrator's Guide--Qpopper Version 4.0.
We need to prevent that header from showing up in messages because
Software.com's WebEdge 2.6.9a (webmail) has problems with messages that
contain it. The webmail cannot delete those messages, nor can it correctly
reply to those messages.
System: Solaris 8 on sparc
Installation steps that I used:
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper
cd /local/src
gunzip qpopper4.0.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf qpopper4.0.3.tar
cd qpopper4.0.3
ORIGINAL installation on 7/4/01:
./configure
make
make install
NEW installation on 7/6/01:
Backed up original install stuff:
cd /local/src
mv qpopper4.0.3 qpopper4.0.3.orig
mv /usr/local/sbin/popper /usr/local/sbin/popper.4.0.3.orig
Start new installation:
tar xvf qpopper4.0.3.tar
cd qpopper4.0.3
./configure --disable-status
make
make install
Are the binaries different? Yes:
/usr/local/sbin/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 130832 Jul 6 10:39 /usr/local/sbin/popper
-rwxr-xr-x 1 132648 Jul 4 19:55 /usr/local/sbin/popper.4.0.3.orig
Example of the header that won't go away:
X-UIDL: <Ec"!-/S!!6Ch"!kGU!!
Thanks for any help/info...
Josh
