how to handle the database upgrade and the SpamAssassin patch partial
integration.
There are several important changes that may affect your vpopmail
installation and may need you to handle manually:
- THE MYSQL CONNECTION INFORMATION IS NO LONGER DEFINED AT COMPILE-TIME!
The WITH_MYSQL_{USER,PASSWD,SERVER,DB} variables should NOT be defined
when you build the port; place that information in the vpopmail.mysql
file after vpopmail has been installed!
- the default domain is also no longer defined at compile time - you need
to place it in the defaultdomain file after the installation.
- the defaultdomain and vpopmail.mysql files are no longer blindly removed
on deinstallation, they are only removed if they have not been modified
- in vpopmail 5.4.18, the database schema was changed - some fields were
extended from 64 to 96 characters. If you do not apply those changes
to your database, as explained in the vpopmail/doc/UPGRADE file, your
vpopmail installation may silently fail or lose the trailing portions
of domain names and usernames.
- in vpopmail 5.4.19, the upstream authors integrated large parts of
Alex Dupre's SpamAssassin support, without the SPAM_THRESHOLD part.
If you use vpopmail along with the SpamAssassin FreeBSD port support,
take extra care to ensure that your installation still processes
e-mail messages in the same way.
- vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for maildrop as a mail delivery agent.
This is available in the FreeBSD port if WITH_MAILDROP is defined.
There is also a new user-limit flag for maildrop delivery.
- vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for MySQL connections via Unix sockets
instead of TCP sockets to the server. To do that, change the second
value (the port number) in vpopmail.mysql to the full pathname of
the MySQL socket (e.g. /tmp/mysql.sock).
- vpopmail 5.4.20 extended the LDAP support; please see README.ldap for
more information, and specify the LDAP connection information in
the vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.ldap file after the installation.
WITH_SQL_LOG_REMOVE_DELETED knob - fix the name of a variable and
a standard PostgreSQL routine.
Pointy hat to: roam (myself), in addition to the upstream developers
- add a new knob, WITH_SQL_REMOVE_DELETED, for explicitly activating
the new code for removing entries from the SQL log file when a user or
domain is deleted;
- add real NOPORTDOCS support and install the README.* files in addition
to the doc_html/ and man_html/ directories if NOPORTDOCS is not set;
- fix a couple of spelling and grammar errors in the new README.vpopmaild;
- add several sanity checks;
- remove the last traces of the ActiveDirectory backend;
- various other minor changes.
