Hi.. I just joined this mailing list (again -- it's been 8 months or so) because I finally get to concentrate on my new mail server solution again. I'll be using qmail for MTA, maildrop and vdelivermail for MDA, vchkpw for pop3 authentication, sqwebmail for webmail, and qmailadmin for administration. I'm using ezmlm-idx and ucspi-tcp as well, but that's not really relevant here. The server is running Debian GNU/Linux. The last time I looked at vpopmail was version 4.9.8. I had made a few patches to make it operate how I wanted it to, and I'm going to go through those later to see if any of that code is still needed, but I have a few issues that I know of right now. 1) My ./configure for vpopmail using my old flags is now broken at the mysql configuration, so I started digging in the configure script to see what I can do to correct it. Here's the error: configure: error: Unable to find your sql libraries dir, specify --enable-libdir. Debian puts the mysqlclient libraries in /usr/lib, so they should be pretty easy to spot, but the configure script doesn't look for the libs; instead it looks for /usr/local/lib/mysql or /usr/lib/mysql to exist and be a directory. Neither exist. My real question here is why it doesn't just use the mysql_config program. root@postal:/usr/local/src# mysql_config --libs -L'/usr/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm While the -L/usr/lib/mysql is not needed, these LDFLAGS will at least work. Same goes for mysql_config --cflags. 2) I read in the archive that 4.10.35 is slated to be the 5.0 release of vpopmail. I'm glad to see that a new "stable" release is right around the corner because I've seen a lot of good changes in the ChangeLog since 4.9.x. I was wondering if there was still a need for the appropriate code to implement alias domains correctly (the way qmail intended). I'm going to go ahead and get started on it, so let me know if someone has already covered it. -- -- Casey Zacek Senior Staff Engineer NeoSpire, Inc.
