Perdition is a mail retrieval proxy that allows users to connect to a content-free POP3 or IMAP4 server that will redirect them to their real POP3 or IMAP4 server. This enables mail retrieval for a domain to be split across multiple backend servers on a per user basis. It can also be used as a POP3 or IMAP4 proxy in firewall applications. Perdition supports arbitrary library based map access to determine the server for each user - POSIX regex, GDBM, PostgreSQL, MySQL, NIS and OpenLDAP libraries ship with the distribution. Please note that this package does not include support for PostgreSQL, MySQL or OpenLDAP, however if you build the port and you have any of those installed, the apropriate libraries WILL be build and you will be able to use them. Please note though that the packing list does not take these into account! The use of perditon to scale mail services beyond a single box is discussed in a paper the author wrote on high capacity email, so be sure to check the web page.

Ooops, just realised I missed a dependency - devel/popt. popt.0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/popt should be included in LIB_DEPENDS. K. Konstantinidis

I missed this dependency in net/libvanessa_socket, which is a dependency of mail/perdition, and not mail/perdition itself. I think I should go to bed right now, before I do something REALLY stupid :) K. Konstantinidis
