Greetings,I just did an emerge --update world which upgraded vpopmail. This update was bad news. It switched vpopmail over to mysql based auths and storage of email which I didn't have mysql or vpopmail setup for. This gave me a lot of grief. Just and FYI.

It's not a supported on included part of qmail, which has not been
modified in a number of years. The functionality is provided only
via unofficial patches.

Lately I been the one handling all the vpopmail patches as soon as it
is feisible I will add it or you can submit a patch to be viewed and
possible added to the ebuild. Far as just joining the gentoo project
read the becoming a developer section
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/ha
After a rebuild the permissions get reset to defaults on
/var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
The smtp server runs as non root users and needs to be able to execute
this program with suid permissions.
Is there a way to keep the permssions from being altered?
As a result rebuilding world breaks the server.
