Qmail & Vpopmail From Ports

[Rachel Florentine]

But...I already have qmail working from port!

root at server167:local/vpopmail/bin (106) ps|grep qmail
  368 con- S      0:00.93 supervise qmail-send
  370 con- S      0:00.91 supervise qmail-smtpd
  813 con- I      0:00.02 qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox
root at server167:local/vpopmail/bin (107)

Why would I want to rip out a perfectly good installation? I just want to get vpopmail working with qmail.
TIA,
Rachel

Don't install qmail from the port, which includes a whole bunch of
ill-advised patches.  Instead, download and install netqmail 1.05 from
www.qmail.org, which has a small set of patches that really work.

I've been meaning to make a port of netqmail, but haven't had time yet.

You'll also want daemontools and ucspi-tcp.  For both of those, the
ports are OK.

Haven't tried the port of vpopmail, but the port has a disconcertingly
large number of patches that it silently applies.

R's,
John
