OpenBSD + bz2 files

Thanks frob! I'm more accustomed to the FreeBSD and Gentoo manner of workings rather than the whole pkg_add scenario. You've helped me get more of an understanding of how it works. Unfortunately I'm not someone who can easily learn from reading a man page. I need someone to guide me through or a howto on something - but then I learn it more thoroughly.
Effective, yet not always appropriate.

Thanks again

Not a problem at all... see the edit to the previous post... you're actually helping me stay coherent at work.

It is a very slow day at my hotel and I have been up for well over 24 hours.

Well it's 2:40 AM here in Sydney OZ and I'm trying to install my OpenBSD 3.6 Qmail mailserver and am finding many barriers from stopping me. I'm following the guide here:
http://sylvestre.ledru.info/howto/ho...l_vpopmail.php
I'm up to 3.TCPServer and am uncertain where to go from here. So if you reply soon enough and feel like helping me through then I'll grab a Coke and stay up with you... if not then I"m heading off now.

Personally, I would do it the classic way.

Which would mean installing ucspi-tcp (this is probably ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3....-unix-0.34.tgz in the ports) then following the directions here:

Quote:

edit /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
198.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" Change this address to your network
:allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"
/usr/local/bin/tcprules /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp
chmod 644 /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb

Ok. After the last line that you posted "chmod 644...." what's the next part I have to pay attention to? Because the vpopmail section seems to be referring to the mySQL method?

I think that is seperate but I am not sure. I think the mysql database is being used seperate.

So the next section after following the classic method is autorespond? I'm confused because after looking through the steps of the vpopmail section there are many that reference to a mysql file

echo "localhost|0|vpopmail_edit|vpass|vpopmail" > ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
chown vpopmail.vchkpw ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
chmod 640 ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql

Do I just ignore this entire section?

Bah, I need to head to bed. I might post some questions in a more appropriately name thread in the morning.

Thanks again for all your support Frob.
