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.

[Dovecot] dovecot: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=14267
by Jerrale G 16 Aug '10

I don't know if dovecot 2.0 will have this already or not but, when dovecot is stopped or started, it would be nice to have the PID reported in the log for various uses. Jerrale Gayle SC Senior Admin

[Dovecot] Split number of imap-login and pop3-login processes
by Mischa Peters 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi All, Is there a way to define the number for imap-login processes and pop3-login processes separately? My mail server is getting more IMAP clients and much less POP3 clients these days and it continues to run out of authentication processes. I have been increasing login_max_processes_count the last couple of days and I noticed that it's split between IMAP and POP3. All 129 imap-login processes are tied up while there are only 3 of the 129 pop3-login processes in use. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!!

[Dovecot] Forcing users to change passwords
by Marc Perkel 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Suppose I have users with a default password like "change-my-password" and I want to detect users who haven't changed their password and alert (nag) them about changing it. How would I do that?
