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 ,
However, in that case, connections on port 143 will require a STARTTLS
command by default before allowing authentication. On the master branch
soon to become 3.2.0 you will be able to set the 'login_disabled=no'
option to allow unencrypted authentication.
@ken: there have been quite a few fixes sinde 3.1.7 (see the log @
http://git.dbmail.eu/paul/dbmail/log/?h=dbmail_3_1) so if you want to
run up2date 3.1 git branch you can unmask and use the dbmail-3.1.9999
(git) ebuild in my dev overlay
-- in case you don'T want to add the whole overlay you could of course
also just grab the ebuild from
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=dev/lordvan.git;a=tree;f=net-mail/dbmail;h=3a0d403760a4f19edc465ebf9c78c9dbf603c50d;hb=074b1d16c9bf3f9c3b06953b67134b1c20763dd0
;)
@paul: do you plan to release 3.2 soon?
Hi again,
thanks Paul for your confirmation and all of your work on dbmail a truly
great program and thank you Thomas for maintaining dbmail on gentoo.
My upgrade went well, there was one small hiccup with dbmail-smtp being
replaced by dbmail-deliver. I took the easy route and symlinked
dbmail-deliver to dbmail-smtp as recommended in a post by Paul. Not
sure if I missed this in my reading but it didn't seem to be documented
anywhere.
One problem I do have is that squirrelmail is now even SLOWER than it
was before. Squirrelmail would previously take 15-20 seconds to show
it's initial screen after logging in, now it takes over a minute. This
is all over a Gb lan with an unloaded 16GB i7 server using SSD's in
raid1, with dbmail, mysql and apache all on the same server. Any
thoughts on that? I might just have to move to roundcube.
Performance using thunderbird and k9 mail has no problems.
Thanks again,
Ken.
