Okay, this last mail went through smoothly and without any trouble in log
files.
Since I got private mails from others having the same problem, here's exactly
what I did to solve this:
- Create a local overlay
- copy the mail-mta/netmail directory from portage tree
- wget http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/qmail-103.patch
to the files directory.
- copy netmail-1.06.ebuild to netmail-1.06-r1.ebuild
- insert "epatch "${FILESDIR}"/qmail-103.patch" before the first epatch in
src_unpack()
- rebuild manifest, add the overlay and rebuild netmail
- restart svscan.
This patch from Christopher Davis is actually dated back to 1998; I'm not sure
about copyright issues on the patch, but it seems trivially simple.
Though, I'm wondering why such a simple fix isn't already part of the netmail
ebuild.
