Bug 141134 – mail-mta/qmail - qmail-realrcptto patch

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tefnet developers 2006-07-20 01:17:34 UTC]

I've rewrited realrcptto patch http://code.dogmap.org/qmail/qmail-1.03-realrcptto-2004.09.14.patch for latest qmail ebuild (qmail-1.03-r16).
It rejects mail with unknown recipient address at SMTP/QMTP conversation level. This makes less work for the qmail machine, since these undeliverable addresses are rejected before ever entering the qmail queue.

Hi Jason,

there is always the possibility of using the netqmail script as a base and then add the wanted patches via the QMAIL_PATCH_DIR env variable to customize your personal qmail build. see the ebuild for further instructions on how to use it.

this works, right now(TM)... ;)

hope this helps.
kind regards
Thilo

NACK, for qmail and netqmail. We don't include more custom patches.

(sorry for the noise, these are just notes for myself and for anyone else that wants to know exactly how to patch this)

wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=92274 
mv attachment.cgi\?id\=92274 qmail-1.03-r16.ebuild in the /usr/portage/mail-mta/qmail dir.
wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=92278&action=view
and move it to a file in /usr/portage/mail-mta/qmail/files/1.03-r16
called qmail-1.03-realrcptto-2004.09.14.patch
then in the /usr/portage/mail-mta/qmail dir, do 
ebuild qmail-1.03-r16.ebuild digest
then emerge mail-mta/qmail

We haven't announced this yet, but sooner or later we'll drop mail-mta/qmail completly in favour of mail-mta/netqmail. Since mid January, mail-mta/netqmail is the default for virtual/qmail.
