Thanks a bunch for the help! My (formerly 2.0) server is now running
2.1.2 like a charm!

I'd like to upgrade my current dbmail installation (2.0.branch in SVN)

to get 2.1 working, except download and compile the 2.1 package? I
downloaded and compiled the 2.1.2 version from the homepage, but for
some reason it didn't seem to want to start up properly (I'm using the
gentoo startup-scripts along and the old dbmail.conf-file). Also, I
tried to get the latest development version using SVN, but that seemed
to be missing the configure script. So is it ok to just copy the
configure script from the 2.1.2 package into the directory containing
the development version?
dont use svn-trunk for 2.1. It's broken at the moment. I've hit a critical point
in removing the old mime-parser.
You can regenerate the configure script by running 'autoreconf -f -i'
Of course, you need autoconf and automake to do so.
Also, you need to add all the new tables (see: sql/mysql/add_*.sql)
After doing so, everything should startup just fine, but you will have to run
'dbmail-util -ay' so all the header tables get filled.
If you try out 2.1.2 but decide to move back to 2.0 later, no changes to the
database are required. 2.0 will run just fine on top of a 2.1 database.
