Hi,
I am a gentoo user and having been successfully using dbmail 2.2.17 for
quite a while now with mysql. I am finally upgrading to 3.1.7 and I
have read what I can find about the steps to upgrade. I'd appreciate it
if you could have a look at the steps I have set out.
My basic plan is
1. stop postfix (I have a couple of VPS's that provide backup_mx)
2. stop dbmail
3. (make a backup, I have regular backups running at 2:00am so not a
huge issue)
4. emerge -DNu dbmail (gentoo to upgrade to latest dbmail 3.1.7)
5. run mysql -p dbmail < /usr/share/doc/dbmail-3.1.7/sql/mysql/2_2-3_0.mysql
6. run mysql -p dbmail <
/usr/share/doc/dbmail-3.1.7/sql/mysql/3_0_2-3_1_0.mysql
7. run dbmail -by
8. restart dbmail
9. restart postfix
My main question is, is it safe to execute steps 8 and 9 without waiting
for step 7 to finish? I have done some testing on a backup server and
dbmail -by has been running for over 24 hours (and is still going). I
have restarted dbmail and postfix on that machine and it appears to
work, noting that most old mail doesn't show sender, subject etc. which
will no doubt reappear when dbmail -by completes. This is not a huge
issue but it would be good if I could access new mail without having to
wait 1/2/3??? days.
I also have another question about imap ssl? I see that there are 2
options in the [IMAP] section of dbmail.conf, port and tls_port is it
possible to have both of these set so that I can use port 143 without
encryption as well as having tls_port set to 993 to use ssl at the same
time as using unencrypted imap on 143.
Thanks,
Ken.
