The shupp toaster install requires courier-imap to be installed as user vpopmail, which the debian install will not know about, presumably it has been setup to work with exim. courier-imap is in /usr/lib/courier-imap, make sure you have that safely backed up. Personally I don't use any of the Debian packages for my mail setup, although I imagine that daemontools, ucspi etc would probably be OK Enabling CHKUSER involves installing netqmail with patches, installing vpopmail and then re-installing qmail with the toaster patch to pick up stuff from vpopmail.h If you upgrade vpopmail subsequently you might need to also recompile qmail and qmailadmin too. So hang on to your source tree! -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------
