I did a complete integration of postfix with vpopmail 4.9.8, and not in the way described on inter 7 site, where postfix merely injects mail into qmail's queue, but by having postfix deliver the message directly to vdelivermail. At that time I have provided Ken with the full details of the config. The problem is, that in the 5.0 release, vdelivermail expects seekable input, unlike the prevous version, and postfix does not provide this (like a lot of other programs, procmail being the most used among them). A couple of months ago someone on the list has posted a message that he managed to get vdelivermail not to require seekable input, but he didn't provide the patch to us. I have managed to transfer normal piped input to seekable input by using seekablepipe (http://www.skarnet.org/software/qmail-local-mda/seekablepipe), but i wasn't sure wheither it's safe to use it in a production system, and surely this would have a noticable impact on performance. I have provided ken with my latest config also, including the patch to vdelivermail to be able to recieve the recipient of the email on command line, and not from the enviropment - he told me that it would go into the 5.1 release. I will gladly accept any help that you can provide with this, because of all the reasons described in the last email - qmail is a great mta, but probably a little out of date. Alex.
