You might like to look at doing this through smtpfront-qmail instead of patching qmail. The only supported way for a user to inject mail is via SMTP and archiving of cron mail seems a bit pointless. In Charlie's contrib area you'll find mailfront-0.86-1es2 which allows you to nominate a log user in /var/service/smtpfront-qmail/env/LOG_RECIPIENT > but I've noticed that the .spec file contains pre code to look for the qmail > UIDs and GIDs on the system where the compilation is taking place, even > though it will not be installed there. I removed that in 6.0 development, in favour of a "Requires: qmail-users", which only applies at install time. > Why is this there? It's historical. It was there to ensure that the build server UID/GIDs matched the runtime system. This wasn't really required as the UID/GID requirements could be done in the %install section, as it is now. > I compiled the 1.03+patches.19 rpm from the official qmail site, > and it had no such requirements (doesn't want to install, but > that's another can of worms). Well, from Bruce Guenther's site - there are no official qmail patches. > My problem is that none of our systems use > qmail except for the e-smith server, and it's obviously no production > enviroment. Can I remove this requirement from the .spec file without > problems, or do I need to create the qmail UIDs and GIDs? See qmail-1.03-08.src.rpm from the 6.0dev/SRPMS area.
