The mailfront package is not integrated with the new qmail config structure on the newer ebuilds (i'm using qmail-1.03-r13). Besides this, the new supervise run scripts and config structure doesn't seem to take into account mailfront and requires lots of tweaking to make it work Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge qmail-1.03-r13 2.emerge mailfront 3.ebuild mailfront.ebuild config 4. look at run.mailfront on qmail-services Actual Results: If you try to use run.mailfront to start the qmail-services your config will probably get broken if you used the new config structure Expected Results: ebuild mailfront.ebuild should integrate itself with the new config structure
Created attachment 24203 [details] This is a patched runscript of mine to make qmail-pop3d work with mailfront
Created attachment 24204 [details] conf-common config file with misc patches for mailfront
Created attachment 24205 [details] conf-pop3d patched to support mailfront
questions/comments: 1. please update these patches for qmail -r15 (the config stuff changed a lot to be easier to use) 2. what's the "run [----] 39 L:[ 1+23 24/ 28] *(1023/1165b)= 32 0x20" line at the top of attachment 24203 [details] ? 3. please attach patches instead of entire files, it's much easier to compare. 4. just having 'SOCKET=`head -1 /etc/vmailmgr/cvm-vmailmgr-socket`' at the top of conf-common is b0rked. it should be '-n1' unless you want errors on some systems. check that things exist before trying to include them. place your new options in a file like conf-mailfront or conf-mailfront-pop3 (for the pop3 stuff) and only include it if it exists. 5. i forgot what i was going to say here
the run [----] 39 L:[ 1+23 24/ 28] *(1023/1165b)= 32 0x20 line has accidentally slipped into the paste buffer as i was using Midnight Commander editor to copy paste the file contents. Sorry about the not existant check, my skills are not so honed at writing stuff for all to see, it was a quick hack to make it work. I'm having a hell of week at work and i can't really get to implement a separate conf-mailfront and integrate it with the existing configuration struture, since mailfront requires modification to the runscripts, i guess a couple of ifs on the runscript checking for mailfront files and then modfying the run commands to fit. I'll see if i can try qmail-r15.
mail-mta/qmail is package.masked pending removal. If you wish to redo these against mail-mta/netqmail, then attach unified diffs here and reopen this bug.

We won't add custom patches to netqmail. Well, you can add them to this patch, but don't expect them to be integrated. Users can then still use the unsupported QMAIL_PATCH_DIR variable.
