            <thetext>Hi. This is the qmail-send program at gentoo.org. 
I&apos;m afraid I wasn&apos;t able to deliver your message to the following addresses. 
This is a permanent error; I&apos;ve given up. Sorry it didn&apos;t work out.

# Dictionaries are listed below. 
# The initrc script scans /usr/lib/dict and adds all of the dictionaries  
# it finds here. 
#  
# The initrc script will delete everything after the the last line and  
# replace it with what it finds.  So add all of your things above. 
#  
# If this is a problem for people, contact me and  
# we can work out a different method. 
  
Hello Michael,  
  
as you wrote in the initrc script, I send you an email about my problem. 
  
That the script automaticly searchs for dictionaries is a good idea. But when 
I want to change something, for example the name of the dictionary, I have a   
problem.   
 
For example I put my dic. into /usr/lib/dict and write the needed line above 
the &apos;lastline&apos;. Now I restart the dictd. After this I will have the database 
twice in my list. One entry of my lines and one of the automaticly generated. 
  
In an other way, I move all dic. into a different folder and configure my   
lines. That &apos;s ok, but now I haven&apos;t any dic. in /usr/lib/dict and the initrc 
script find no dictionaries in that folder. So it stop - even if I have   
configurated my dic. above &apos;lastline&apos;.  
 
What do you think about changing the initrc-scipt in a way that it checks 
before adding a dic. if it is already installed. And that it starts even if 
there are no dics to add automaticly. 
 
Ciao, Henning

I tried to contact the author of the initrc script as he wished. But his email 
failed. So I send it as a bug. I hope this is right.</thetext>

            <thetext>wrangler: i don&apos;t do dictd.
looking in the cvs history there was once a developer &apos;tadpol&apos; that wrote
it up.
Dunno who he is, or what became of him, he ain&apos;t listed anywhere else.</thetext>
