Hey,
I recently tried to install/build vpopmail 5.2.2 thats in extra currently, but it won't build, errors out with mysql. So I was wondering if anyone could/was planning on upgrading the package anyway to the most recent version. I wanted to get a mail server up and it seems like qmail with qmailadmin and vpopmail is the easiest. If no one wants to update I will try to build from source.
Thanks

The package itself is not so dificult, but my doubts in doing it are technical ones. On some places I read that its directory should be /var/vpopmail and others tell it should be /home/vpopmail. I would like to know the advantages or disadvantages of those paths before doing the package.

I have installed vpopmail on about 4 different distros and all of them have always used /home/vpopmail for email storage. I don't know the rational, but I never had any problems with it. I keep my websites and other files I backup regularly in /home anyways so it just makes it easier for me to do a backup so I never thought about changing it. The old package for vpopmail arch has now uses /home/vpopmail for the email storage too I believe.

Sorry, been very busy. Another question, There is a restriction or problem that it must be vpopmail 5.4.6, since the latest stable one is 5.4.9
