i have checked actual postfix versions, and there is also unoficial patch for 3.1.1, also working for actual postfix version 3.1.2 that is stable in portage. unoficial patch has only cosmetic differences from official (line numbers). https://sourceforge.net/p/vda/mailman/message/35175077/ here is a working patch for postfix-3.1.2-r1.ebuild with vda: --- /usr/portage/mail-mta/postfix/postfix-3.1.2-r1.ebuild 2017-01-11 11:20:30.000000000 +0100 +++ postfix-3.1.2-r100.ebuild 2017-01-19 13:30:14.000000000 +0100 @@ -12,12 +12,13 @@ DESCRIPTION="A fast and secure drop-in replacement for sendmail" HOMEPAGE="http://www.postfix.org/" -SRC_URI="${MY_URI}/${MY_SRC}.tar.gz" +SRC_URI="${MY_URI}/${MY_SRC}.tar.gz + vda?

Stuck in the 2.x tree of postfix with USE=vda and would like to understand what will be my future options to make an informed decision. Is there an intention to recognize this bug report as 'WILLFIX' or is the consensus that this bug report should be met with a 'WONTFIX' status? (With all due respect to developers' and testers' workload and time constraints, of course. Not asking for a date here, just for an intention.) Regards GuS
same here, a insight on the recommened upgrade path would be great, also stuck with old version ...
The pastebin URL's referred to in this bug report are all long gone. I believe this URL belongs here. http://vda.sourceforge.net/ What is required to initiate a discussion (and going from 'UNCONFIRMED' to 'something') about the intended approach?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Today marks the first year of this unconfirmed ticket.
Gustov: Do you have an updated patch? Or are you volunteering to test previous patches, or do anything constructive to make it easier on the Gentoo folk to address the bug? If not, then you're just being passive aggressive. And that's less than helpful.
I'm sorry to say, upstream for this patchset seems dead. They haven't updated http://vda.sourceforge.net/ to reference patches for newer than 3.0.3. (Oldest mail-mta/postfix currently in portage is 3.2.4.) Their mailing list has two posts in 2018, both asking if the project's still alive with zero responses. (One in March and one in May.) https://sourceforge.net/p/vda/mailman/vda-users/
agree, better move to dovecot-lda
Sorry, but the latest vda patch is for unsupported postfix 3.0. Dead upstream, closing... If possible, use dovecot-lda.
