[vchkpw] Re: Upgrade to Vpopmail 5.4.26 and .qmail-default issues
Hi, My opinion, if it can help : If it works when you have a .qmail, it's probably because this file use a different delivery agent (maildrop), thus it means that your default delivery agent does not work correctly, and for me according you are using gentoo, honnestly, the .maildir / Maildir difference remain a clue... could you try creating a symlink .maildir ? Anyway, it should be the default delivery program wich is not able to do their job, try it manualy to see if you have a specific output. ,- - [ Le mercredi 2 janvier 2008 vers 21:09 Matthew Goodman écrivait: ] - - | > I do agree, that the ebuilds are not always very useful.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Upgrade to Vpopmail 5.4.26 and .qmail-default issues
I tend to agree with you on all points, however, once a production level system is up and running (quite smoothly for years up until recently here) I try not to upset the chi. Now if I were to do it all over, I'd probably do it very differently. It's always a learning process. Back onto point though, any thoughts as to where I could look for why email is so backed up? And why all of a sudden .qmail-default was not good enough to deliver mail with?

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Upgrade to Vpopmail 5.4.26 and .qmail-default issues
I do agree, that the ebuilds are not always very useful. I had edited the build to eliminate the changes from Maildir to .maildir. It is accomplished through a simple sed command across the vpopmail source before compiling. I interrupted this process by commenting it out and the build itself should be operating as normal from source, which would be Maildir. You do raise a good point, I wish Gentoo would get that part of it right. Deviating from the standards are not a good idea.

[vchkpw] Re: Upgrade to Vpopmail 5.4.26 and .qmail-default issues
Hi, Be carefull with the Gentoo ebuilds : they are modyfied by the Gentoo team to use ".maildir" (dot maildir) in place of "Maildir", it can be the source of your problems if you've mixed "official" Gentoo ebuilds (expecting .maildir) with others made by hand (using Maildir). ,- - [ Le mercredi 2 janvier 2008 vers 20:13 Matthew Goodman écrivait: ] - - | > netqmail-1.05, qmail-scanner-2.01-st, vpopmail 5.4.26 - all compiled from > Gentoo ebuilds.
