Description Defresne Sylvain (keiichi) 2002-01-30 15:51:29 UTC

The standard configuration of qmail uses dot-forward to emulate sendmail .forward mecanism (see net-mail/qmail/files/1.03-r7/defaultdelivery) but qmail does'nt depend on net-mail/dot-forward ...

  This dependency should be added or the default delivery mechanism changed not to use dot-forward ...

Comment 1 Geert Bevin 2002-02-01 16:03:26 UTC

We've taken the policy not to install any additional qmail packages from the
qmail ebuild. The qmail-sumo is there for that purpose.
