Description Caleb Cushing 2007-04-19 01:55:02 UTC 
if you set the vpopmail flag on postfix it will try to pull in qmail. I assume this is because qmail is a dependancy of vpopmail. 

Reproducible: Always

vpopmail doesn't appear to be a valid USE flag for any version of postfix in the main tree, could you please specify the full category and version number of postfix that you're using, include the output from the following command:

USE="vpopmail" emerge -pv postfix

and also state whether you're using any overlays as well?  I'm marking this as NEEDINFO for the time being, but when you post back, please remember to reopen the bug so that we'll spot it.  Thanks very much...  5:)

whoops... I'm on crack... dovecot I'm using dovecot with postfix. I left a part out sorry. I read that vpopmail should work

[ebuild   R   ] net-mail/dovecot-1.0_rc29  USE="pam pop3d ssl -debug -doc -ipv6 -kerberos -ldap -mbox -mysql -postgres -sieve -suid -vpopmail" 0 kB 

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vpopmail and http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/postfix.txt

I'm not 100% that this doesn't need qmail to build... but I'm assuming it doesn't.

dovecot just deps on vpopmail - doesn't care about postfix or qmail.

right... I think the problem lies in that vpopmail can work with either... however trying to pull in qmail (which I think I remember having problems with gcc-4) and creates a blocker situation.

i do not plan to add postfix support to vpopmail. if you want postfix with dovecot, disable the vpopmail USE flag.
