   portmaster -a

and the only config is

   ALWAYS_SCRUB_DISTFILES=dopt


I also tried with -ai in order to exclude the problem package, but your -x suggestion is even better.

Sure. And this package exists there. But without an origin to point it back to a port directory, hopefully this package should be completely ignored by '-a'.

If you want to play with this particular example on your system, you can grab it from here:

  ftp://ftp.stalker.com/pub/CommuniGatePro/5.2/

Quite a nice mail server, and installing it doesn't scatter files all over the place so it is quite safe to try installing. The licensing only comes into play if you add more than 10 mail boxes.
