Subject: [courier-users] Name collision
 

This message is being sent to two mailing lists, one for GNU mailutils
and one for Courier (an MTA).

Those two software packages have a name collision.  They both include
servers for POP and IMAP, and all four of those daemons have generic
names.

mailutils: pop3d imap4d
Courier:   pop3d imapd

On FreeBSD, both packaged distributions attempt to create the
executable file /usr/local/sbin/pop3d.  If one package is already
installed, installing the other removes the first package.

Furthermore, Emacs version 26, out recently, more or less requires GNU
mailutils.  Upgrading Emacs removes Courier.

This is why it&apos;s bad to use generic names.  I ask the maintainers of
both packages to rename their daemons.
