This one should be reported upstream, as it is impossible to succesfully
configure maildrop 1.7.0 not to use a db, I suspect due to faulty
'configure.in' (and subsequently 'configure') script.

Please don't report upstream yet. There is an option to configure --without-db.
The ebuild need to take a look at.

Andrej, you are right. This is an upstream config bug. I can't `./configure
--without-db`. Same error. 

Exactly - I even tried hacking makedat/configure script in hope to make this
work with patch until upstream fixes it, but to no avail.

I'll try asking on courier-maildrop mailinglist and then report here.

No response from courier-maildrop mailinglist. :(
I'll try contacting the person mentioned in AUTHORS file directly.

The guy's mta is hostile enough not to let any mail through if hostname
supplied by HELO doesn't match connecting IP. I'm not in mood to find a way
around this, will not try anymore. We're in dead end for this one.

Bumped to maildrop-1.7.0-r1. Reopen if the issue is noe fixed.

I just added ebuild for 1.7.0.20040907 to portage. This version fixes the
configure script, so our workaround is no longer needed.
