Recompile any programs that link the vpopmail library too. Apologies for the ongoing questions, but what programs are those? I don't think I'm running any that won't be rebuilt by installing the new version, but I may just be hugely ignorant here. (Just running vpopmail, no web admin stuff, no imap.)

[vchkpw] SMTP-AUTH, Stable?
One of my clients has been running a server with the "relaymailfrom" hack for years. I've been telling them for as long as I've been working with them that they would get blacklisted if they didn't switch to SMTP-AUTH. Well, they got listed & now I have to implement SMTP-AUTH. I know that CRAM-MD5 issues are fixed as of 5.3.6 (Woohoo! Thanks, Bill!), & I know that 5.3.8 seems stable from what I've seen on this list, but I'm still nervous deploying dev software on a production box. So, question #1 is: will there be a new stable version soon? I would also appreciate it if anyone has time to critique my upgrade plans: Back up /var/qmail & /home/vpopmail Grab fresh qmail source Patch with elysium.pl SMTP-AUTH patch make setup check #This is non-destructive as far as existing control files, etc., no? Install vpopmail 5.3.8 over existing 5.2.
