- Helpful Hint: Vpopmail configuration options -

The vpopmail "configure" command can have loads of options. Use "./configure --help" to see them all. In the syntax used in this installation, I specify to the type of logging that I want vpopmail to use. Vpopmail logs its activities to the server's syslog and there are several options you can use. I've used the "p" option, but feel free to adjust it to your needs. Here's are the details:

--enable-logging=n - logs nothing

--enable-logging=e - logs only errors (default)

--enable-logging=y - logs all attempts

--enable-logging=p - logs errors with passwords

--enable-logging=v - verbose. Logs all attempts with passwords

Wait! I'm getting an error! What do I do?

If you are using GCC version 3.x, you may get a compilation error similar to this:

In file included from vconvert.c:35:
vmysql.h:53:22: missing terminating " character
vmysql.h:60:35: missing terminating " character
make[2]: *** [vconvert.o] Error 1

If you get this error, you will need to apply a patch to Vpopmail:

patch < /downloads/qmailrocks/patches/vmysql.patch

Once you've applied the patch, try running "make" and "make install" again and you should be ok.
