Hi,
today I've finished migration from uw-imap daemons to shiny andfast dovecot. With thanks of dovecot my mail server load average drops by factor of ten even with ancient unix mailboxes. ;-)
Get 0.99.10.5, it fixes possible mbox corruption. Thanks, will do.
So, the only thing I've discovered is what POP3 uidls aredifferent than ones used in the uw-imap. Luckily, the difference are only in the format string used in uidl response. So, I've made the following change in the code
Actually I just wrote a similiar patch a few days ago .. :) http://dovecot.org/patches/pop3-uidl-uwimap.patch it's against .10.5 which changed a bit.
Perfect. ;-)
Probably this small change could be applied to the 1.0, or used asa config option.
I was thinking about making this fully configurable, ie. a config option which would accept printf-like string. "%v.%u" "%08xv%08xu" or something. Or maybe it's not worth it, I'd have to look at other POP3 servers to see what different kinds of UIDs they use..
Yes, this sounds reasonable. Probably you will need to add more format specifiers to catch everything. ;-)
Thanks, Oleg.
