In debugging a problem we've got since upgrading to Cyrus 2.3.1 (among
other
things), I discovered that at one point Pine checks to see if the name
returned by the server is equal to the name that it thinks it connected to,
and if not it seems to open another socket to the IMAP server. This
causes a
bit of a slowdown on some machines, and was noticed here. Regardless of
the
issue above, I found the following while poking around.
If you telnet to the IMAP server, it reports its actual hostname instead of
the name set in /etc/imapd.conf for "servername", which is itself
described as
the hostname to return to clients. The relevant area in imap/imapd.c is
around line 949 in void cmdloop():
gethostname(hostname, sizeof(hostname));
prot_printf(imapd_out,
"* OK %s Cyrus IMAP4 %s%s server ready\r\n", hostname,
config_mupdate_server ? "(Murder) " : "", CYRUS_VERSION);
Shouldn't the first prot_printf argument be "config_servername" instead of
"hostname"? I don't recall having this problem on our old server, so
Yup, that's a bug. I will fix it in CVS.
