I do not see a bug report in our issue tracker matching that problem.

There appears to have been a stealth update. The file mirrored on the macports 
distfiles server matches the portfile's checksums, but the one currently being 
served from pear.php.net does not. The two different gzip files decompress to 
the same tarball though, and the same contents.

Maybe the best solution is to update the port to the latest version. Probably 
all of the pear ports could use examination to find potential updates. All the 
pear ports were added en masse in 2011 and most have not been updated since 
then. pear-Archive_Tar was last updated in MacPorts in 2014.

mailers

[James Linder]

Hi All
I did port list and nothing jumped out. I 'm looking for a mailer. 
Suggestions anyone.


Apple mail is perfect *except* it's baysen filtering is rat-wossname. I 
get pounded daily with 'Patriot Videos' and '2nd amendment' crap. I've 
reset the filters, written my own rules, banged my head.


I installed thunderbird and seamonkey which learned in a few days, I get 
no spam but junk accumulates 50 to 100 real-junk-mail per day.
Trouble is setting font and sizes is very hard to do with mozilla tools. 
Example I cannot use any plug-ins, there is no load file option on sierra.


Perchance macports has a decent mail program.

Logging in Sierra

[William H. Magill]

Have various applications, such as Apache, Postfix and Mailman, been 
modified/updated to log appropriately under the new OSX logging scheme in 
Sierra?

Apache apparently logs independently of syslog - however bothy Postfix and 
Mailman (according to their respective websites) use syslog - which apparently 
no longer works in Sierra.

They don't need to be updated.

Apple changed the way the syslog api works (if you build against an older sdk 
you still get the old behavior).

"mailer" has been a dead term for a couple decades, since everything has
switched to IMAP. "mail client" is the usual term. Unfortunately, that
doesn't seem to be used consistently in descriptions :(

So, `port list category:mail` gets you a combination of servers,
interactive clients, and client libraries. I'm not quite sure how to
quickly filter that further.

Re: Will using only dolphin be too much overhead?

[Dorien Herremans]

Hello,

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm trying to install kde4-baseapps, but I'm having some trouble:

--->  Fetching archive for gtk3

Error: Failed to archivefetch gtk3: gdk-pixbuf2 must be installed with +x11.

Error: See
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gtk3/gtk3/main.log
for details.

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Error: Processing of port kde4-baseapps failed

I've already tried: sudo port selfupdate

Anything else I should be aware of?


Thanks!

Dorien
