Hi,

Any thoughts on how to fix this error? This happens on a fresh FreeBSD 4.10 box, with base and ports CVSupped to RELENG_4. I've left the various /usr/local/etc/toaster*.conf files pretty much alone to start with...

Please report the problem to sergei@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the "/usr/ports/mail/maildrop/work/maildrop-1.6.3/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/maildrop.

Sorry if this a lame question, but I'm new to Unix MTAs!

Many thanks for any info.

Possible solution  



and resume the build:-



This gets me past the place where the installation stopped, but I've no idea whether that was the correct solution.
