			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was running <span style = "font-family:courier new">portupgrade -a</span> on my <a target = "_blank" href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD">FreeBSD</a> machine when I discovered some problems. The first problem had to do with the size of my mail queue. I kept getting a &#8220;452 Insufficient system storage&#8221; message from Microsoft Outlook, along with an error code of 0x800CCC0F. I am running <a target = "_blank" href = "http://www.postfix.org/">Postfix</a>, and so had to edit <span style = "font-family:courier new">main.cf</span> to read:</p>
<pre class="brush: php">
message_size_limit = 51200000
mailbox_size_limit = 51200000
queue_minfree      = 102400000
</pre>
<p>Those sizes may seem rather large, but I&#8217;ve got room to spare. This got rid of the &#8220;Insufficient storage&#8221; errors, but then I got a new error. Outlook said that the connection to the mailserver was &#8220;unexpectedly interrupted&#8221; when trying to receive mail. This was a problem with my <a target = "_blank" href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POP3">POP3</a> <a target = "_blank" href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29">daemon</a>. I wasn&#8217;t unable to telnet to port 110, so it seemed like it wasn&#8217;t running. I use <a target = "_blank" href = "http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/">Courier-IMAP</a>, which comes with a POP3 daemon. I tried to rebuild the port, but it complained that the port was broken. So I had to figure out how to downgrade it (and then upgrade it):</p>
<pre class="brush: php">
root@enterprise ~
$ pkg_delete courier-imap\*
root@enterprise ~
$ pkg_add -r courier-imap
root@enterprise ~
$ portupgrade courier-imap
</pre>
<p>The last step gave me some trouble. It actually didn&#8217;t install (it should &#8211; but I don&#8217;t know why it didn&#8217;t), so I had to go in and manually install it from the ports tree. I don&#8217;t know what happened, but running <span style = "font-family:courier new">portupgrade</span> on all the installed ports caused some sort of problem.</p>
<p>Once the port was installed, I still wasn&#8217;t able to get it to run. I tried looking for documentation, but I couldn&#8217;t find any really. The problem had to do with the <span style = "font-family:courier new">authdaemond</span> daemon. It wasn&#8217;t starting up. However, once I added <span style = "font-family:courier new">courier_authdaemond_enable=&#8221;YES&#8221;</span> to <span style = "font-family:courier new">/etc/rc.conf</span>, it started working fine.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what it is with setting up <a target = "_blank" href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_transfer_agent">MTA&#8217;s</a> &#8211; I&#8217;ve always had trouble setting mine up. They&#8217;re the first things to break, and the last things to get fixed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As expected, something went wrong. I had a vague sense of intuition that it would be my mailserver&#8230; and it was. I reinstalled postfix and everything is working. I was reinstalling courier-imap when it complained about libintl.so.4. I hate that file SO MUCH. It always shows up. Stupid shared lib. It comes from gettext, and so I tried reinstalling gettext and got the dumbest error message in the world ever:</p>
<p><span style = "font-family:courier new">-r: not found</span></p>
<p>Now <strong>what the hell does that mean</strong>? Absolutely NOTHING. Anyway, so I abandoned that because as I discovered, the old version of courier-imap was working perfectly.</p>
