Bugzilla Bug 24923

The same thing as in bug 24620: since lines end with <CR>/<LF> I got "bad
interpreter" 
trying to start XMail.

The same about file files/xmail.confd. Should I enter this as a separate bug?
     Sergey

I am sorry, but file files/15xmail also has line ending <CR><LF> and this
prevents XMail server from starting.
    Sergey Ivanov

xmail-1.16 is now in portage.  files/* have the cr-lf stuff removed.  Also
xmailwizard is now executable.  Please test.

patch for xmail start script to eliminate xargs calls

Thank you, I have synced to xmail-1.16 and tested. 
/etc/init.d/xmail does not start. It says:
===
# /etc/init.d/xmail start
 * Starting XMail...
xargs: environment is too large for exec
===
I have not managed with xargs, so I propose patch for files/xmail.initd eliminating xargs call

Also, please, change order of lines 
	chown -R xmail.xmail ${CHROOT}
and
 	cp -R -u /etc/xmail/* ${CHROOT}${MAIL_ROOT}
in files/xmail.initd, otherwise it takes two or three attempts to chown all necessary for XMail files.

And the last correction from bug 15931, XMail SMTP needs /tmp in it's chrooted
jail, so line 
===
   for subdir in dev lib var/run var/MailRoot
=== 
should be changed to
===
   for subdir in dev lib var/run var/MailRoot tmp
===

Hi, 
this bug has status "resolved" and resolution "fixed" but this is not the real status! /etc/init.d/xmail as it is in portage can not be used! It "runs" but does not "works". It does not start XMail server! 
What should I do? Should I open new bug?

reopening bug

I have updated the initd file with your changes.  I haven't changed the CTRL
port though as there shouldn't be a problem with that port.  Please test.

I also added a warning in postinst so that users are sure to have iptables
enabled in their kernels before they expect things to work.

xmail-1.16 appears to work good :)
