[phillip ramirez]

Ok I used to use pop-before-smtp and i upgraded to 5.6 and of course it broke.. no problem as I was wondering whats the fix for 5.6 to allow me to use my server on the road. I travel allot and use allot of different services(free broadband in hotels) and I am needing a way to send email. anyone?? Nathan great prog BTW

I am using this package to enable smtp authentication works great for all my
remote email needs.

[phillip ramirez]

ok i dl and did  rpm -ivh cvm-0.17-1.src.rpm
that took i did a  /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade and that took
but when i rpm -ihv e-smith-cvm-unix-0.0.3-4dc.noarch.rpm i recive

error: failed dependencies:
        cvm >= 0.16 is needed by e-smith-cvm-unix-0.0.3-4dc

i then used the source file and did the same so is the .17 rpm not usable? is there a dep??

Don't install the src (source) rpm but a noarch or i38* one.

[phillip ramirez]

i dont find the noarch file on http://untroubled.org/cvm/ which is the refered to page on pagefault.

[phillip ramirez]

ok i got it.. i had to goto the rh area.. thx.. starting to install it now

[phillip ramirez]

ok i know you all are going to hate me but now i get
[root@my-suzuki upgrade]# rpm -ihv e-smith-pop3s-0.0.3-1dc.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        e-smith-packetfilter <= 1.8.1 is needed by e-smith-pop3s-0.0.3-1dc

when trying to install the pop3 smtp and imap i just went and got packetfilter 1.13.0.04 and tried to install it using the rpm -ihv and it gives me allot of conflicts..

i think i should have stayed with 5.1.2 haha any help would be greatly apreciated. Terry can ya email me if you knwo the info??

Philip, I'm still on 5.5 with my production boxes.  Have installed 6beta1 on a trial system, skipped 5.6 all together.
Just found this on contribs.org http://www.lordsfam.net/downloads/production/securemail/
It may be what you're after.  Uninstall the rpms's you already have and try these ones...

[James Pybus]

I you read the instructions on the page for the files it explains that the deps are no concer and just to force the install as there is a new version of the deps on 5.6 and it works fine (I can confirm)

I might be missing something but, whats wrong with https://your-server/webmail???

[phillip ramirez]

well for one I like pop3 so much better. and if you knew how much email i deal with on a daily basis you would understand. I travel allot. meaning allot of airport time. this allows me to download the email on my laptop and i can go through it waiting for the next plane.. now how does one force an install?

[Terry Brummell]

rpm --force rpmname.rpm
(or something like that...)

[phillip ramirez]

ok well i figured it out. its rpm -ihv --nodeps * hehe anyway thank you everyone who has tried to help me  out.
