Dbmail is the name of a group of programs that enable the possibility of
storing and retrieving mail messages from a database (currently MySQL,
PostgreSQL or SQLite).
* Scalability.
Dbmail is as scalable as the database system that is used for the mail
storage. In theory millions of accounts can be managed using dbmail. One
could, for example, run 4 different servers with the pop3 daemon each
connecting to the same database (cluster) server.
* Manageability.
Dbmail is based upon a database. Dbmail can be managed by changing settings
in the database (f.e. using PHP/Perl/SQL), without needing shell access.
* Speed.
Dbmail uses very efficient, database specific queries for retrieving mail
information. This is much faster then parsing a filesystem.
* Security.
Dbmail has got nothing to do with the filesystem or interaction with other
programs in the Unix environment which need special permissions. Dbmail is
as secure as the database it's based upon.
* Flexibility.
Changes on a Dbmail system (adding of users, changing passwords etc.) are
effective immediately.
===> The following configuration options are available for dbmail-3.5.6_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
LDAP=off: LDAP protocol support
SIEVE=on: Sieve mail sorting language support

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

*/*: Remove redundant '-[0-9]*' from CONFLICTS
The conflict checks compare the patterns first against the package
names without version (as reported by "pkg query "%n"), then - if
there was no match - agsinst the full package names including the
version (as reported by "pkg query "%n-%v").
Many CONFLICTS definitions used patterns like "bash-[0-9]*" to filter
for the bash package in any version. But that pattern is functionally
identical with just "bash".

Bump PORTREVISION for ports depending on the canonical version of GCC
as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,

Upgrade mail/dbmail to 3.2.0
3.2.0 contains all the stability improvements done in 3.1 over the
last year. On top of that, it has some nice additions of it's own:
- auto-migrations; An admittedly little tested feature is automatic
migrations of the database schema. Running any of the binaries against
an up-to-date and standard 3.1 schema will try to do all the necessary
upgrades if required.
- static code audit; the Coverity service was used to flush out as
many potential problems as possible.
- new capabilities; some interesting new IMAP capabilities have been
added. QRESYNC (rfc5162), LITERAL+ (rfc2088), UIDPLUS (rfc4315) will
improve performance especially for mobile clients.
Also:
- Remove redundant option THREADS
- Add additional mirror
- Rework post-install for auto-migration scripts
- Use @sample framework

- Update to version 3.1.13 [1]
- Convert SIEVE option description to current standards
Bugfixes:
- when an IMAP client asked for a part of a message that started after
the total length of the message, imapd crashed.
- on some platforms, pop3d would sometimes continue to try writing to
a partially disconnected client, throwing pop3d in a spin-lock.
- on pop3d, timsieved and lmtpd disconnecting clients would cause
memory leakage
New features:
- dbmail.conf now adds a new options 'header_cache_readonly = yes|no',
Setting it to 'yes' will prevent addition of new rows to the
dbmail_headername table. You can now start pruning that table, without
having to worry about new messages re-adding those rows.
- the usermap feature now also supports default routes on allowed and
denied sockets. So you can simply disallow certain users from
connecting on any address using 'inet:0.0.0.0/0:143' as a socket
specification.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
