Sergei Kolobov 716bc6aa4a - Update to 0.44.2
- Fix LDAP support build problems
- CONFLICTS has been expanded
- WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_AFPL support has been changed to honor GSPORT
- WITH_TRANSPORT+=uucp changed since uucp is no longer part of the base system
  and NOUUCP is no longer a /etc/make.conf tunable for buildworld
- WITH_EXPECT not being set now adds --disable-changepass which causes the suid
  authdaemon.passwd to not be installed.
- devel/fam dependency is now non-optional since the port will use the library
  if it finds it regardless of one's intention to use it or not.  For instance
  if libfam is installed and one doe not want it used by courier but chosses
  the WITH_LDAP support than libfam will get sucked in as well.  Then the user
  deletes fam and courier breaks because the user had no idea courier depended
  on it.  So until courier gets a configure --without-fam tunable this should
  be a mandatory dependency.
- and last but not least etc/rc.d/courier.sh startup script has been rewritten
  to work with rc.subr which allows one to move it to /etc/rc.d/courier and
  have it just work. :)

Courier is a modular multiprotocol mail server that's designed to
strike a balance between reasonable performance, flexibility and
features:
* Can be configured to function as an intermediate mail relay, or
as a mail server that receives mail for one or more domains, or
anything in between.
* Web-based administration and configuration tool.
* Uses an efficient maildir format as its native mail storage
format. Some support is provided for legacy mbox mailboxes.
* STARTTLS ESMTP extension (as well as IMAP/POP3/Webmail over SSL)
in both the client and the server (requires OpenSSL). The ESMTP
client can optionally require that the remote server's X.509
certificate is signed by a trusted root CA (a default set of
root CAs is provided).
* Mailboxes can be accessed via POP3, IMAP, SMAP, and HTTP.
* A faxmail gateway that forwards E-mail messages via fax.
* Courier includes a mailing list manager.
* PAM, LDAP, PostgreSQL, or MySQL authentication.
* Authenticated SMTP.
* Integrated mail filtering.
