+ AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The vpopmail port has been upgraded to version 5.4.20. There are several
+ important changes that may affect your vpopmail installation and may need
+ you to handle manually:
+
+ - THE MYSQL CONNECTION INFORMATION IS NO LONGER DEFINED AT COMPILE-TIME!
+ The WITH_MYSQL_{USER,PASSWD,SERVER,DB} variables should NOT be defined
+ when you build the port; place that information in the vpopmail.mysql
+ file after vpopmail has been installed!
+ - the default domain is also no longer defined at compile time - you need
+ to place it in the defaultdomain file after the installation.
+ - the defaultdomain and vpopmail.mysql files are no longer blindly removed
+ on deinstallation, they are only removed if they have not been modified
+ - in vpopmail 5.4.18, the database schema was changed - some fields were
+ extended from 64 to 96 characters. If you do not apply those changes
+ to your database, as explained in the vpopmail/doc/UPGRADE file, your
+ vpopmail installation may silently fail or lose the trailing portions
+ of domain names and usernames.
+ - in vpopmail 5.4.19, the upstream authors integrated large parts of
+ Alex Dupre's SpamAssassin support, without the SPAM_THRESHOLD part.
+ If you use vpopmail along with the SpamAssassin FreeBSD port support,
+ take extra care to ensure that your installation still processes
+ e-mail messages in the same way.
+ - vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for maildrop as a mail delivery agent.
+ This is available in the FreeBSD port if WITH_MAILDROP is defined.
+ There is also a new user-limit flag for maildrop delivery.
+ - vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for MySQL connections via Unix sockets
+ instead of TCP sockets to the server. To do that, change the second
+ value (the port number) in vpopmail.mysql to the full pathname of
+ the MySQL socket (e.g. /tmp/mysql.sock).
+ - vpopmail 5.4.20 extended the LDAP support; please see README.ldap for
+ more information, and specify the LDAP connection information in
+ the vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.ldap file after the installation.
