We installed a new post office via mkserv and ran into a few snags.
Some of these you may not consider bugs but are nuisances when making
a post office server.
- mkserv pop should deal with sendmail as well. post office service is
a superset of mail service.
- autoupdate was left true.
- no pwd on the root.
- the directory /usr/spool/pop should be owned by pop
/usr/spool/pop/POP should exist and be owned by pop
/site/.../lib/spop should be setuid pop
- The installed sendmail.cf was not suitable for a post office.
(it did not work so ron copied one from another po)
- /site/server/usr/new/mh is linked to /srvd. It should be linked to
/site/server/usr/new/mh.6.6.
- /usr/etc/zpopnotify was omitted.
