The same thing as in bug 24620: since lines end with <CR>/<LF> I got "bad interpreter" trying to start XMail.
The same about file files/xmail.confd. Should I enter this as a separate bug? Sergey
I am sorry, but file files/15xmail also has line ending <CR><LF> and this prevents XMail server from starting. Sergey Ivanov
xmail-1.16 is now in portage. files/* have the cr-lf stuff removed. Also xmailwizard is now executable. Please test.
Created attachment 14872 [details, diff] patch for xmail start script to eliminate xargs calls
Thank you, I have synced to xmail-1.16 and tested. /etc/init.d/xmail does not start. It says: === # /etc/init.d/xmail start * Starting XMail... xargs: environment is too large for exec === I have not managed with xargs, so I propose patch for files/xmail.initd eliminating xargs call

Also, please, change order of lines chown -R xmail.xmail ${CHROOT} and cp -R -u /etc/xmail/* ${CHROOT}${MAIL_ROOT} in files/xmail.initd, otherwise it takes two or three attempts to chown all necessary for XMail files. Sergey
And the last correction from bug 15931, XMail SMTP needs /tmp in it's chrooted jail, so line === for subdir in dev lib var/run var/MailRoot === should be changed to === for subdir in dev lib var/run var/MailRoot tmp === Sergey
Hi, this bug has status "resolved" and resolution "fixed" but this is not the real status! /etc/init.d/xmail as it is in portage can not be used! It "runs" but does not "works". It does not start XMail server! What should I do? Should I open new bug? Sergey
reopening bug
I have updated the initd file with your changes. I haven't changed the CTRL port though as there shouldn't be a problem with that port. Please test. I also added a warning in postinst so that users are sure to have iptables enabled in their kernels before they expect things to work.
xmail-1.16 appears to work good :)
