Thank you for your reply.
I gave up on whoson. After a clean compile and install of whoson (I got
Slackware 9.0), I fired up the whosond daemon, but whenever I connected to
it, either by checking my POP mail (after having correctly patched both
Sendmail and popa3d), or by calling whoson directly, it segfaulted. Boom.
So I scrapped it and installed ipop3d instead, which worked on the fly with
poprelayd. I'll attempt the patch for the log messages, though.
Kind Regards,
