hello again :-), well .... i recompiled dbmail v.1.2.1 with the CFLAG options you sent to me !
did an EXPORT export CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" then a ./configure and make. at the end i used the ./install-dbmail.sh script to install the newly compiled binaries ! then a killall dbmail-pop3d & imapd to kill the old processes and finally restarted the processes with dbmail-pop3d & imapd ! i also did a few tests to simulate the connection drop from my ISP but at the moment it's hard to tell if everything works fine. i have to observe the system for a while and see what will happen ! but for the moment the recompile works well and the mail system is functioning proberly ;-) thank you for your help ! the system i'm runing is SuSE linux 8.1 with a 2.4.18 kernel ! the dbmail i use is 1.2.1 and hopefully this info will help some other guys who probably ran into the same problem ! all the best & have fun becki in your source tree type (if you are using bash): export CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" ./configure make hope this helps Ming-Wei hello ming-wei, thanks really a lot for your fast response to my problem :-) i recently posted another mail to the list as i found out that this problem ONLY happens when the ISP drops the internet connection during send & receive ! for more info see the other post. so thanks for you hint with using the CFLAGS ! but i have to say that i'm not a C programmer or anything like that :-( so i could need a bit more info .... hopefully this is possible ?! :-) as far as i found out the CFLAGS are defined in the makefiles, isn't it ?! well if i look in the source code then i do see 5 makefiles ... makefile.am, makefile.concept, makefile.in, makefile.mysql, makefile.pgsql ! 3 of them (.concept, .mysql, .pgsql) have the cflag defined like ==>> CFLAGS = -Wall -O2 -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE well i'm using mysql as a DB backend so the .pgsql should be without any interest, isn't it ?! so should i then just update the CFLAG in all 2 files (.concept, .mysql) to look like this ?! ==>> CFLAGS = -O2 -FOMIT-FRAME-POINTER -PIPE and then recompile the whole stuff ?!? run build.sh and later install-dbmail.sh ..... my dbmail version is 1.2.1 and i'm runing SuSE linux 8.1 !! any more info is really appreciated as i need to run this dbmail system proberly ! thanks really a lot for your help & time :-) all the best & have a nice day becki try using "-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" as you CFLAGS =20 Ming-Wei hello, i recently installed the new release dbmail 1.2.1 ! since then from time to time a pop3d or an imapd seems to hang and needs 99% of the CPU ! this is really bad ;-( is there any patch or something available that tells me how to fix this issue ?!? any help would be really appreciated ;-) also looked through the mailing list but couldn't find anything yet. a small hint would be really nice ;-) before i had the dbmail 1.1 version installed and had the same problem. i thought upgrading to version 1.2.1 would solve this problem ... but as far as i see .... it has not :-( i would really need some help because i'm runing this on a public server so i need the mail system to run fine ! by the way, i really like dbmail and thanks a lot for you guys who are developing this piece of software :-) all the best beckmann http://www.beckspaced.com - are you beckspaced ?!?
