Is there a possibility to make maildrop read configuration(maildroprc) form a different location for example: /myinstall/etc/maildroprc I tried setting --sysconfdir running ./configure but it didn't help. Any suggestions??

You do know you have to do a "make && make install-strip" afterwards?

I've been doing make && make install. Is there a difference between install and install-strip??

Not really, it just strips off the debugging/symbol info, making a smaller binary.

Try "make clean" first.

Once you've installed it do a "ls -l `which maildrop`" and see if it installed where you thought it was supposed to install. You could have different copies in different locations in your $PATH.

Then do a "strings `which maildrop` | grep maildroprc" and see where the binary thinks the maildroprc should reside.

I've just done it again. Maildrop is installed only in one location and file has actual date of creation. Unfortunately nothing changed. I've done this exactly: ./configure \ --prefix=/easy \ --exec-prefix=/easy \ --bindir=/easy/bin \ --sbindir=/easy/bin \ --libdir=/easy/lib \ --libexecdir=/easy/bin \ --datadir=/easy/share \ --sysconfdir=/easy/etc/ \ --includedir=/easy/include/ \ --oldincludedir=/easy/include \ --infodir=/easy/share/info \ --mandir=/easy/share/man \ --enable-maildirquota \ --enable-maildrop-uid=2000 \ --enable-maildrop-gid=2001 \ --with-trashquota make make install-strip

ls -l `which maildrop` -rwxr-xr-x 1 easy_mail_data easy_mail_data 164280 2006-12-20 23:53 /easy/bin/maildrop*

strings `which maildrop` | grep maildroprc /etc/maildroprc Error opening /etc/maildroprc. /etc/maildroprcs/

It was all done on version 2.0.2. What can be wrong??
