Yes, I now have it actually running. Still some problems to work out, though. For one thing, the program crashes every time I try to subscribe to a group. I expect, though, that this problem will clear up once I get about the business of converting it into a proper port and get the various make options and a decent set of patches worked out. > Berkeley DB has been offering the transactional datastore since > version 3.0 if I recall correctly (but I never bothered for 2.x), and > the developer version of bogofilter (in the bogofilter CVS) works with > Berkeley DB 3.0 to 4.3 (port commit is pending, ports/73790).

Yes, I've looked at the docs a bit, but need to do a lot more. This is my first time dealing with a port that uses this stuff, so I'm sort of "out of my element" here. Still, this program (klibido) is definitely worth the effort, and will make a fine addition to FreeBSD's ports collections, once I get all the kinks worked out. Thanks. -- Conrad J.
