Okay, this last mail went through smoothly and without any trouble in log files. Since I got private mails from others having the same problem, here's exactly what I did to solve this: - Create a local overlay - copy the mail-mta/netmail directory from portage tree - wget http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/qmail-103.patch to the files directory. - copy netmail-1.06.ebuild to netmail-1.06-r1.ebuild - insert "epatch "${FILESDIR}"/qmail-103.patch" before the first epatch in src_unpack() - rebuild manifest, add the overlay and rebuild netmail - restart svscan. This patch from Christopher Davis is actually dated back to 1998; I'm not sure about copyright issues on the patch, but it seems trivially simple. Though, I'm wondering why such a simple fix isn't already part of the netmail ebuild. Sascha
