Please note that we can't create packages for vpopmail, since it
hard-codes hostname, UIDs, GIDs. 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?)
