subject: vpopmail port
mailed-by: gmail.com

Hello,

I have been working with the FreeBSD ports for quite a while now and I
would like to know what it would take to get my vpopmail patch
included with the ports installation. I have a qmail installation
guide at

http://freebsdrocks.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=3&id=16&Itemid=25

and my vpopmail installation is at

http://freebsdrocks.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=25

One of the many things my vpopmail patch does is rather than create a
standard Maildir with new, cur and tmp in it, I also creates a .Spam
folder and does automagic spam filtering based on the headers. The
beauty of this is you can completel;y customize the maildir as the
Maildir is copied from the ~vpopmail/skel folder.

In case you're wondering, the patch is at

http://freebsdrocks.net/files/patch-vpopmail-port.patch

I have been using this patch since about 5.4.15 (I think) and the last
time the port came out, I t took a bit of editing as some of the code
in vpopmail.c had changed. Even if the patch could be an option in the
make config screen, that would be great. Let me know if I can be of
any help or assistance.

mailed-by: gmail.com

Hello,

I have been working on a patch for vpopmail for quite a number of
years now and I seem to have something I would like to submit to you.
I have a vpopmail skel patch I think you should add to the vpopmail
port. For some reason, And I cannot figure out why, My patch applies
cleanly to the vpopmail source and I made a new patch just for the
port and it fails everytime. I tried to make a clean patch and it
still fails. Maybe this is something you can help me with? Take a look
at the patch itself:

http://freebsdrocks.net/files/patch-vpopmail-port.patch

And watch when I try to apply this to the source:

[/home/wolson/vpopmail] root@gce# fetch
http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.17.tar.gz

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

Patching file vpopmail.c using Plan A...

Hunk #6 succeeded at 2824.

Hunk #8 succeeded at 2864.
Hunk #9 succeeded at 2894.
done
[/home/wolson/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.17] root@gce#

But when I try it with the port, it fails :-(

If you download the patch to /usr/ports/mail/vpopmail/files and then
go back to /usr/ports/mail/vpopmail and run make
CONFIGURE_ARGS="--enable-logging=p"
It asks what file to patch. I swear to god I had this working on Oct
19th without any problems.

Let me know. thanks!
