Okay i got an pop3 and imap server running now. Yippi!
But now i still have some issues.
1.
I downloaded the latest version 2.0.3 and in this download there is a file
called INSTALL.postfix, and in that file there is still an error. This error
is known by Aaron, but still not updated.
The file instructs this ..
If you want to decide if DBMail should be used per domain please add
the following in /etc/postfix/tranport: <domain>
dbmail-lmtp:<host>:<port>
/etc/postfix/tranport
Should be;
/etc/postfix/main.cf (in my case /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf, i run
FreeBSD)
2. I had the problem that my dbmal-imapd crashed with an errors about an
recurisive functio. After adjusting the default processen from 50 to 20 this
problem went away. My question, why so many processes? If i do a ps -ax i
see pages of dbmail processes..
Also when imapd crashed, i got a bunch og child processes, with the
dbmail.imapd.sh stop command i could not stop them..
3. I had to copy dbmail.conf to /etc instead of the /usr/local/etc
Although the start script points to the /usr/local/etc when starting it
can't find the dbmail.conf file.
So is the /etc location hardcoded in the source or something?
4. On the dbmail website i read;
The The whole email is stored in the database. That includes
attachments.
I had a look in the database and noticed that the Mime data is stored in
the database, not the images as a blob file.
There no Mime dedecode funtions doing that.
Actually i was hoping that the system had MimeDecode possibilitys,
because seperating tekst from attachements is pretty cool for multiple
reasons.
One reason is to keep the db smaller(same attachment for multiple users,
only one attachement) two is that is would be possible to detach an email so
that the tekst is still there but the files are deleted (Lotus Notes has
such a detach function)
So that's it for now,
my experience with dbmail,
returning to the community
peace out, back to bed.
Later
