Hi,

I have a Debian GNU (2.4 I believe) system that we acquired when we bought
another ISP. This system was using pop3d as it's POP3 server. I really like
Qpopper, particularly for it's bulletin support. I am currently using
Qpopper on a FreeBSD system and on a Redhat system.

Up until today I have not tried to install anything on this Debian box.
Debian uses something called Dselect to 1) search for packages, 2) Update
packages, 3) Install packages, 4) Configure packages, etc. I managed to
fumble my way through using Dselect to find a Qpopper package for my system,
install it and uninstall the pop3d. What a learning experience that was!

Anyway, it worked. I can telnet to port 110 and it tells me that I'm running
Qpopper 4.0.4 and I can pop mail from the system. But, I never got the
chance  to pass any configuration flags such as -- enable-bulletins.

Choosing the Configure option of dselect doesn't help, it just looks for
something that needs configuring, doesn't find anything then exits.

Has anyone ever run across this before? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lisa Casey
