Greetings,

 I'm trying to get the bulletin database(BULLDB) feature in qpopper-2.2
working. I'm using the 2.1.5 ports version and adding the -DBULLDB entry in the
Makefile.
The pop_bull.c file seems to be missing an include ( <sys/fcntl.h> ), but other
than that it compiles without error.

 The instructions call for you to create two empty files (bulldb.pag &
bulldb.dir) in the bulletin directory which I did. The first attempt to
retrieve a mail bulletin works fine but creates a zero length 'bulldb.db' file.
Further attempts to check mail fail with the error "Unable to open Bulletin
database".
Permissions don't seem to be the problem. Has anyone used this feature on
FreeBSD or does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks.

Greg
