See the ChangeLog (this option appeared in 4.10.12): - added new configure option --enable-qmail-ext. This was the default in old installations. Now there is an option to turn it off. --enable-qmail-ext=y (default) will deliver mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --enable-qmail-ext=n will NOT deliver mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will only deliver it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jonas

On a previously installed vpopmail system, how do I know which parameters were passed to ./configure ? I have the directory in which the tar file was untarred into. > > Also should the tcpserver file be /etc/tcp.smtp or > > /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp ? > > Both locations will work fine, but vpopmail will need root access if you > want to use the /etc location.

Then what is the use of qmail-ext parameter for ./configure ? Thanks a lot for the mail. Regards, -Payal -- "Visit GNU/Linux Success Stories" www.geocities.com/rpayal99 Guest-Book Section Updated.

Hi Payal, > I configured vpopmail-5.2 with, You should start with 5.2.1, which is the latest stable. > # /home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp > vpopmail not configure with --enable-roaming-users=y * Have you started with clean source, either freshly unpacked or a "make clean" before? * Check the date of the clearopensmtp binary - is it current? * Is /home/vpopmail really the home of your vpopmail user? If it changed in the between, all newly created files have been installed into that new location. > Also should the tcpserver file be /etc/tcp.smtp or > /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp ? Both locations will work fine, but vpopmail will need root access if you want to use the /etc location. > And address extensions=OFF as shown above, will it mean I won't be able to use > .qmail-payal-linux kind of addresses? No; these addresses will be handled by qmail itself _before_ vpopmail drops in (through being called out of .qmail-default) and work in either case. Jonas
