hmhm... verry strange 0_o what i did:
i followed Pauls instructions and viewed the syslog after i linked the dbmail-binaries against mysql 4.0.13 (like i did the first time i installed it) but not with ./build.sh ./instal-dbmail.sh but with ./configure --with-mysql --with-ssl make cp dbmail-smtp /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp i did cat testmessage.txt | /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -u darookee viewed /var/log/syslog and /var/log/mysql/mysql.log and was surprised: it worked 0_o i copied the dbmail-imapd to /usr/local/sbin, started it and viewed the mails... than i injected the mails via qmail-inject cat testmessage.txt | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject and it worked, too 0_o after that i rebuilt the binaries with ./build.sh and ./instal-dbmail.sh , did the tests i did before... and they worked... very strange for me... so i deleted dbmail from the system (including /etc/dbmail.conf after i backed it up), did the gentoo-way-install and copied the backed-up dbmail.conf back to etc, did the test... and saw the error: dbmail couldn't access /etc/dbmail.conf... 0_o stupid me... :'( sorry for the inconveniences :( i should have checked syslog earlier 0_o thx everybody :D
