I have a working port for it already, but it requires that we add users and groups in pre-configure, which is ugly. Also, your port should not create files in /etc, it should be in ${PREFIX}/etc. I have a patch-set on the way to the vpopmail maintainers to make it more likely to include as a port at a later stage. If I'm given the go-ahead to do the evil create-user-and-group in pre-configure, I'll import my port, which has been tested in quite a few environments already. Satoshi: What's your view on this? (Would reserving a UID and GID for vpopmail be sufficient?)
