irrelevent
>Description:
mail/gotmail is used to download messages from Hotmail.com, which has changed substantially since gotmail was last updated. The GotMail project has been superseded by the GetLive project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/. I can't see any benefit to keeping gotmail in pkgsrc, since it can no longer work and is no longer maintained.
>How-To-Repeat:
install mail/gotmail, configure, test, fail.
>Fix:
remove mail/gotmail, replace with getlive.
