nobody makes us dovecot true, but dovecot works fine and in perfect harmony with postfix, except this one option. I remember the earlier thread and have been waiting for this option, but now I see Timo has decided to drop the idea after earlier saying it would be beneficial, and seems some people have been waiting for long time for no reason, so maybe time to consider all other options, including server software.
Oh, grow up.
Good 'ol charlie boy, you still havnt learnt have you, maybe you should grow up and stop telling anyone who disagrees with you to " grow up"
There is nothing wrong with Nicks statement about considering all options, in fact any executive officer would expect that of people in sys admin positions, if something does not do what you need, find something that does, fanboi-ism and loyalty dont cut it in teh real world
Changes never come about unless you put a case forward, which is what four people at least have done so now in this thread, and at least two others who have under a previous thread, so maybe call it six, take into account the number of members on this list who use multiple boxes with databases, then look at the number of those who are not members of this list who use the software, the OP of this thread made mention of twitter, and had replies there.
I can see if this was something that was super critical to a functioning
how the fark would you know little SOHO boy whgat is critical to anyone else's operations, when you become responsible for a decent size network which demands 5 9's uptime, maybe then, and only then, will people take your little tangents more seriously, Harold and the OP have already stated, as have I, why such a function in its current state, is flawed. Daniel's comment about mysqlproxy is a good interim bandaid fix, but is not suited as long term fix since it adds extra link in the chain which leads to extra point of failure, be it through program error or exploit, I know that Wietse and Timo take security seriously, far more so than Oracle.
