Build a lab first, lots of things to consider:
- copy a mailbox from your existing production system and test it against a client to insure it doesn't screw up peoples folder views.
Done, playing with it now.
- Performance. Test various things, like indexing, download speed and connection performance.
Not as worried, it's a small personal system.
These are the two I will be raked over the coals with if I screw it up.
Users are such testy creatures. :-)
Since I'm the main user... I get to beat myself up.
So here's a question. The 2.3 to 2.4 converter suggests this small snippet of proposed configuration:
mail_driver = maildir
mail_path = /var/mail/%{user | domain}/%{user | username}/Maildir
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress compar
protocols = imap lmtp sieve
sieve_script personal {
driver = file
path = ~/sieve
}Will the 'sieve_script personal { ... } ' block work ok with it's path being ~/ and will it inherit the mail_path defined farther up? Right now under 2.3 it creates the following:
/var/mail/stoffel.org/john/sieve/
/var/mail/stoffel.org/john/Maildir/directories, but I think I need to add in for 2.4 the following:
mail_home = /var/mail%{user | domain}/%{user | username}/And then the sieve_script_personal will work properly. Is this correct? And no, I haven't tried it yet, working on deploying my new test VM.
Now my old system is configured to use sqlite3 as the backend mechanism, and I see that it does define the following queries:
driver = sqlite
password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u';
user_query = SELECT '/var/mail/%d/%n' as home, 'maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir' as mail, 'mail' AS uid, 'mail' AS gid FROM virtual_users WHERE email = '%u';
iterate_query = SELECT email AS user from virtual_users;
and I think the 'user_query' returning the 'home' value and the correct directory would do the right thing and mean I don't need to explicitly define mail_home.
Is this true?
Thanks, John
