Postfix 3.0.0 Package Fixed Manpage Names

The postfix 3.0.0 package may have created a file conflict for the manpage mailq.1. The sendmail package from your OS-distro wanted to live in the same place.

The renaming of postfix's mailq.1 manpage to mailq.postfix.1 in the packaging stage didn't work any more, this is fixed now.

As postfix 3.0.0 has a few new features, I would be interested in reports if you have this package working propperly, or if you see problems with it. Comments are welcome on any communication channel you like (Comments on the blog, the pkgbuild mailinglist, the irc.freenode.org channel #pkgbuild, ...)

Thank you for using SFE packages!

hi TomWW,

see also: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43789 - problem is exactly same here.

Solution is to add "smtputf8_enable = no" to main.cf file and restart postfix.

Otherwise (mail log):

[2015-04-14 15:20:48] xxx postfix/qmgr[16918]: [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: smtputf8_enable is true, but EAI support is not compiled in

Or, when sending from shell (via mutt):

sendmail.postfix: warning: smtputf8_enable is true, but EAI support is not compiled in
postdrop: warning: smtputf8_enable is true, but EAI support is not compiled in

Maybe to change default value, since postfix is not compiled with EAI support?
Or, better option: compile it with EAI (ICU?) support

Regards.

Predrag, thank you for reporting this.

As interim solution I'll change the install default to disable smtputf8_enable.
If we find that option very useful, then we can do a small research on how to get icu support or equivalent.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Predrag,
I've fixed a compile and a linking problem for mplayer.
Now you should be able to load "mplayer". Be sure to wait a little while until the livemedia package is updated to version with timestamp >= 20150517 on the public repositories.
Please report if you can successfully run mplayer.

Regards,
Thomas
