The mini-qmail ebuild doesn't USE mailwrapper and conflicts with netqmail
(which is ok) but installs qmail into /var/mini-qmail instead of /var/qmail,
which causes certain problems:
- /etc/env.d/99qmail contains wrong paths
- packages relying on qmail being installed in /var/qmail (like
net-mail/mess822) don't work
Suggested solutions:
- create a symlink /var/qmail -> mini-qmail
- better: install in /var/qmail instead of /var/mini-qmail
mini-qmail by design isnt supposed to do anything except redirect messages to a
real qmail server ... do all of your customizations on that server
/var/mini-qmail/ is the upstream default path
mini-qmail by design isn't supposed to do anything except letting local
programs/users use the qmail-binaries (sendmail, qmail-inject etc.).
That's why they must be in PATH, which isn't the case at the moment.
What's more, packages like mess822 have /var/qmail/bin compiled in.
Changing anything on the qmqp-server won't help here, im afraid.
ACtually, there's another problem. The current ebuild overwrites
/usr/sbin/sendmail if mailwrapper is installed. As none of you lot can be
bothered to do anything about it, I've put an ebuild in my private overlay that
adresses all the problems mentioned before:
