I currently have 1.2.12 running very well and I see risk in an upgrade to ver 2.x. Unless of course the benefits outweigh the risks. I have been carefully watching the ver 2.x tree rev from week to week and I await the defacto signal from people that it is in fact at least as solid at 1.2.12, that signal being adoption by people in busy mail servers. So therefore I await ver 2.0.6 with a mix of conflicting anticipation and trepidation. :-) -- Dennis Clarke dcla...@opensolaris.ca - Email related to the open source Solaris dcla...@blastwave.org - Email related to open source for Solaris

I think the stability has less to do with that, and more to do with what parts of Dovecot you want to use. If your test setup works fine with the most common clients you use, and it survives a bit of stress testing, it should work fine. The things I still mostly worry about are some rare errors/crashes. There is still a rather large number of Solaris 8 Sparc servers out there running in production and based on the conversations I have had with some sysadmins they will upgrade them when the smoke comes out. That could be another five years. So, before you say stability has less to do with that you should see the horrendous work it takes to port an app from the open source world ( usually Linux people with tons of Linux-isms/GCC-isms in it ) over to an old POSIX/XPG4 ( POSIX.1-1990, POSIX.2-1992, POSIX.1b-1993, POSIX.1c-1996 etc ) compliant UNIX.

[Dovecot] Linux should be as easy as Windows
From a Standards thread I saw this : Linux should be as easy as Windows I would like to point out that this is a thinking problem. A shift in thinking is required. That should say : Open source and Free software should be as easy as Windows In this way we allow someone running BSD, Solaris or some port of Debian to an old Dec AlphaServer will have the same level of functionality provided standards are adhered to. Once programmers begin to see everything in the light of Linux then we can also kiss goodbye the opportunity for portability to other OS types. Dennis

Some things just don't scale well. A P-vs-NP type problem. - Secure Love dovecot for this reason. - Portable Totally. This is what open standards are supposed to be all about. Also why assembly tweaks to architecture locked modules should be avoided whereever possible. Sometimes there is no way out. - Customizable Nice but .. again not a hard need in my mind. As someone that *tried* to work on this disaster : http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/print/107625/Developers_put_OpenSolaris_on_PowerPC?taxonomyName=Open+SourcetaxonomyId=88 I watched as a large filthy corporation step in and say never ever on IBM hardware and the whole thing was taken inside to become this : http://labs.oracle.com/spotlight/2006/2006-06-14-SolarisPPC.html Where it was very quietly killed. Let's hope the big corporate world never calls up Mr. T ( dovecot author ) and tosses a billion dollars at him. A few million sure ... but not a billion. Otherwise dovecot would be wrecked by the greedy pigs at Oracle or IBM or Apple etc. Just my opinion. Sorry for the OT Dennis
Re: [Dovecot] Error: Index file too large ? 904 bytes ?
Something's just completely broken in your install. yep. I agree totally which is why I pkgrm'd it and went back to 1.2.12 which works flawlessly. I'll come back to 1.2.13 ( maybe ) after I get 2.0.0 working well Dennis

Perhaps by light you mean you don't need 32G of memory and a dual socket 12-core Opteron 6100 series machine with some hot NVidia graphics card and 10Gb ethernet to just *barely* install Windows 8. :-) I just installed Win7 on a 7 year old Dell 4550 with only 1G of RAM. I have a new shiney multicore 64-bit machine with an NVidia graphics card etc etc and Win 7 seems to work okay with 4G of memory. Performance still sucks compared to Solaris or Debian on the same box but it plays movies well. I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit which I bought as a non-upgrade box kit. Obviously, since I do not have the latest video cards, etc. installed in the PC, certain functions were disabled by default; however, it definitely works. I only did the installation to see if it would really work, and was pleasantly surprised to see how well it performed. That was, of course, on a virgin system (all data erased from drives and reformatted). I'll try a old 32-bit box with baseline hardware sometime just to see ... it could be a waste of my time however. By the way, Win8 is not even scheduled to be released until at least July 1, 2010 and even that is not written in stone. I as joking. :-) Dennis

Re: [Dovecot] v2.0.0 released
So that stops me while I figure out what the issue is with imap-match.h and/or imap-match.c in the Solaris world while using Sun Studio 11. Works fine here with the 12.1 compiler. Solaris 10 on UltraSPARC, current patches, on both the OS and the compilers. My CFLAGS: -fast -xtarget=ultra3 -m32 -xarch=sparcvis2 The is ye ol'production Solaris 8 and thus Sun Studio 11 is needed. Problem solved simply by using GCC 4.5.1 from Blastwave ( of course ). Question for you: why would you use -m32 with an -xarch=sparcvis2 ? Why not go for greatest possible portability and range of processors with something like this : CFLAGS=-m32 -Qy -Xa -xbuiltin=%none -xnolibmil -xnolibmopt -xcode=pic32 -xildoff -xregs=no%appl -xs -xstrconst -D_TS_ERRNO If you feel like some optimization then chuck in -xO3 and -xdepend however I'd test the resultant bins from a basic compile first.

Not too sure what is up with that but I'll look into it. That's normal. It doesn't need to be portable. In that case ... awesome :-) I'll let you know when I get packages into testing QC and then for release. However I am going to rename the package to dovecot2 in order to separate it from dovecot 1.x installs. My idea there is to allow the user to continue with the dovecot 1.x line in the event of patch updates and further releases from that tree ( like dovecot 1.2.13 ) while also maintaining the ver 2.x family. However I don't think I'll support multiple instances of dovecot ( regardless of version ) in the same Solaris zone.

Just my 0.02 Fair enough, and I appreciate your advice. My goal in this case is to generate the fastest binaries possible on the machine it's being built on, which is identical to the machine it's going to be run on. There's zero need for portable binaries in this particular installation. In that case run fpversion : fpversion A SPARC-based CPU is available. Kernel says CPU's clock rate is 900.0 MHz. Kernel says main memory's clock rate is 150.0 MHz. Sun-4 floating-point controller version 0 found. An UltraSPARC chip is available. Use -xtarget=ultra3cu -xcache=64/32/4:8192/512/2 code-generation option. See those compiler options ? Use them.

[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis
Re: [Dovecot] I can receive but not send
Am I missing something obvious here ? Dovecot isn't a SMTP-Server/MTA. See also: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailServerOverview That figures ... it had to be my sendmail config of all things. Geez .. I hate sendmail configuration. OKay .. thanks. -- Dennis
Re: [Dovecot] I can receive but not send
Am I missing something obvious here ? Yes, Dovecot is not an SMTP server, it provides POP3 and IMAP which are for mail retrieval. Common SMTP servers are Exim, Postfix, Sendmail and Qmail. Well that tells me dovecot is working fine but sendmail is not listening to roaming mail clients. Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server foo.domainname.ca failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator. However I can telnet to the port 25 just fine ... bizarre. -- Dennis

Thus far no joy but dovecot seems to be working if I could figure out the configuration.
