Comment (by ryandesign at macports.org):
The qmail-spamcontrol port has been committed to the ports tree, so now we
can look at this ticket.
The portfile mentions a patchfile "`patch-configure`" but it's not
attached to this ticket so the port fails?
I'm curious why you set "`configure.cflags -O2`" since that's the default
anyway?
There's a problem with the file `${prefix}/var/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp`
installed by the `+roaming` variant. It seems you're installing a sample
file there, and then you want the user to edit it. When they upgrade the
port to the next version, or just reinstall the port for whatever reason,
maybe to select a different variant, the new port will overwrite this file
again (or remove it). This is bad. Instead you should install the file as
`tcp.smtp.sample` and advise the user to copy it to `tcp.smtp` and modify
it. That way newer versions will not replace the user's modified file.
This naming is consistent with e.g. the apache2 port which installs
`httpd.conf.sample`.
