is there anyone using cucipop?

[martin <martin.lorenz@cynapsis.de>]

dear friends,

i allready asked once, but i am afraid, my mail got lost
somewhere...?

so here again:
i am trying to set up cucipop on a newly installed potato system.
only trouble is, it dosent't like to run in APOP-mode, which
would be very important here.

the makevpopdb program complains about "makedb2: Can't create
/etc/mail/vpop.db" and if compiled from source it says it even dosen't
know about db2...

all this behaviour has been documented in some quite old bug-reports,
but i cant find any solution to it.

can someone please just give a statemant on the status or
tell me how to work around the problem?

thanks

Description: Cubic Circle's POP3 daemon
 A fast, robust implementation of the RFC1939 POP3 protocol,
 It does not use temporary files, it works reliably over NFS,
 and it includes an option to defeat "leave mail on server"
 clients.  Cucipop can run from inetd or as a standalone daemon
 (the default).
