Hi there,
I would like us to take under consideration, changing the default
value for the following configuration values for Cyrus IMAP 2.5;
The purpose is to improve how Cyrus IMAP works out-of-the-box, and
provide defaults that are more likely to not require change.
I have no comment on specific options, but I agree reviewing defaults
from time to time is a good idea.
I would however, suggest that the sysadmin's upgrade experience is
improved by using a technique borrowed from Linux NFS. There the
default value of one of the export options changed. For several
releases, if the default in the code was actually used (i.e. no value
was specified by the sysadmin in the config), the following message was
emitted:
exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for
export "132.183.220.0/24:/apps".
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
