The file doesn't belong to vpopmail exclusively. It really belongs to |
12 |
qmail, and vpopmail wants to add and remove items from it for it's |
13 |
misguiding implementation of relaying. |
14 |
|
15 |
Qmail looks at /etc/tcp.smtp via tcpserver, which only allows a single |
16 |
file to be specified, so there is also a tcp.smtp is in |
17 |
/var/vpopmail/etc, then qmail NEVER looks at it, as it really needs |
18 |
/etc/tcp.smtp. |

A much better overall solution is to use the relay-ctrl package (see my |
21 |
notes in the latest qmail conf-smtpd and courier-imap stuff about it). |

USE="-mysql" emerge vpopmail |
26 |
|
27 |
But vpopmail is much more useful with mysql or some form of |
28 |
non-flat database. |
