Hi,
ports/mail/gensig has a problem. It is supposed to create a named pipe
(~/.signature) and wait for an application to read from the pipe. It
allows to have a random signature on every mail. On 4.x and on 5-current
from last year it works as expected. But since the end of the last year
or the begin of this year it doesn't anymore. gensig daemonizes itself
fills the named pipe and then terminates. The content of the named pipe
stays the same for every mail (no wonder, gensig is gone).
Bye,
Alexander.
