Description Josh Grebe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-12 06:59:30 UTC
Goal: courier-mta with vpopmail support
Tested: 0.44.0 0.44.2 0.44.2.20040201

Problem 1: qmail is a hard dep of vpopmail, and blocks courier because they both provide virtual/mta.

Problem 2: Courier ebuild properly detects the existance of vpopmail and configures and compiles accordingly... Then promptly forgets to install the vpopmail authmodule.

Side note: postfix can also support vpopmail, and is also blocked by qmail. At least the postfix ebuild doesn't try to enable vpopmail support.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.

vapier:
courier-imap != courier-mta

iggy:
i think we can solve problem 1 this if we add a virtual vpopmail-mta
which is provided by your courier-mta, my qmail and the postfix folks can work it in as well. problem 2 is entirely in your court.

1. um, okay, whatever works

2. I don't have the time or inclination to look into it, if someone else figures it out, I'm open to including the fix
