have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
<salo@Xtrmntr.org> in pkg/15326.
Add example mailer.conf.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Clarify binary package situation: We don't allow binary packages
to be created because they don't currently work. Additionally, if
someone were to make them work, we'd be unable to distribute them
because we apply a few patches to the qmail source.
Thanks to zuntum and jlam for discussion and assistance.
Bruce Guenter has written a patch which causes any program that would
run qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE.
If it is present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue"
when running qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program
into the qmail-smtpd->qmail-queue pipeline that could do filtering,
rewrite broken headers, etc.
This does not break anything, and is required by some programs, for instance
qmail-scanner.
Bump PKGREVISION - we are at qmail-1.03nb2 now.

By default (the one set in bsd.pkg.defaults.mk) qmail installs into /var/qmail.
This can be changed by setting QMAILDIR in /etc/mk.conf to another directory,
for example /usr/qmail.
If you want to user non-standard path of installation, make sure to set it in
/etc/mk.conf *before* attempting to install any of qmail packages,
and do not change it in the mean time (if you install qmail with QMAILDIR set to
/var/qmail, change it to another dir and try to install qmail-conf, you will lose).
Slave packages will soon be updated to use this feature.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
qmail checks for qmail users' existance at compile time, so this package
must be built as root (it tries to add necessary users and groups),
thus NO_PACKAGE and IS_INTERACTIVE are set. PLIST file is left
empty intentionally, because qmail installs itself to /var/qmail,
outside ${PREFIX}.
The qmail program is a secure, reliable, efficient simple message
transfer agent. It is meant to be a replacement for the entire
sendmail-binmail system that most UNIX hosts use.
Although qmail holds security and reliability as its top two
priorities, it is also fast. On a Pentium under BSD/OS, qmail can
easily handle 200000 separate messages per day that are injected
and must then be delivered to local mailboxes!
Security and reliability are qmail's two strengths, however. The
qmail package ensures a message, once accepted, will never be lost.
An optional new mailbox format, maildir, even lets users safely
read their mail over NFS, while still accepting new mail deliveries.
The following features are supported: host and user masquerading,
full host hiding, virtual domains, null clients, list-owner rewriting,
relay control, double-bounce recording, arbitrary RFC 822 address
lists, cross-host mailing-list loop detection, per-recipient
checkpointing, downed host backoffs, independent message retry
schedules, a drop-in sendmail replacement, and more!
The package is still being worked on.
