This is all working great, it's running on a small machine I use myself as a router/firewall and I just thought I'd play with email. Now, I have several domains I am hosting on the box using bind, and now I'd like to use them for email as well so I'm looking into installing vpopmail. I know about the fbsd mail-toaster and I think its great, I only wish I saw it before I installed everything. =20 I found a site: http://nav.bandersnatch.org/clues/qmail-cookbook.html#install-vpopmail that shows how to install vpopmail using mysql among other things. I noticed that it's a how-to targeted at rh users so I didn't use it for more than insight on my installation. The thing is though that I noticed that the author wants the users to modify vmysql.h before the ./configure make... etc. If I install vpopmail from /usr/ports/mail I wont' have the opportunity to do so obviously, so I'm wondering if on a freebsd system that is even necessary, or if there's some other way, after vpopmail is installed, to tell it what/where the database is. Thanks, Sandro M.
