Hi All..
Has anyone got any experimental patches for mysql auth?

The attached patch was published to this list by Matthew Reimer a few months ago. I have merely updated it to apply to the current 0.99.10.4 version of Dovecot.
I would say this is somewhat better than experimental, as I have been using it for two months now with zero problems at all.
Note that there is no 'configure' logic in this patch, accordingly you need to set a couple of flags manually to compile MySQL support. Here's how I compile, for reference:
AUTH_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/mysql -DPASSDB_MYSQL -DUSERDB_MYSQL"
AUTH_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient"
./configure
--prefix=
--disable-ipv6
--with-ssldir=/etc
--with-storages=maildir
--without-passwd
--without-passwd-file
--without-static
--without-pam
&& make
Hope this helps you as much as it's helped me. Thanks again to Matthew for this work.

Great.. Has development on dovecot stopped? (I'm quite curious why this hasnt been merged with the current dovedot development release.. That is, if there is a development reason ;))

Excellent.. Thanks.. Has anyone done any benchmarking to see how dovecot compares to courier?

Not at all, Timo is quite active. I don't intend to speak for him, but he has indicated on this list before that his first goal is to get the existing functionality working to his satisfaction so that 1.0 can be released, then to add new features after that. Although 0.99.10.4 works very well, there are some internal issues, especially with mbox (which I don't use), that he knows need work.

I've not, but subjectively speaking, Dovecot is *FAST*.

Well, mysql authentication doesn't really belong to those "after 1.0 features" .. It's mostly been that I've had so much else to do and have forgotten it always. Maybe I'll include it with 0.99.10.5 which I should actually release to fix some mbox problems :)
What I'm mostly working on now should make it even faster :)
Excellent.. I'm sure myself and a number of other people will be looking forward to that..
Well.. Sounds good.. However, i'd still like to see some benchmarks done.. If i'm planning to let dovecot handle 350 000 mailboxes, i need to make sure everyones benchmark results are pretty similiar.. Any chance you'd get some time to post some benchmarks? (against courier to be specific ;)

That depends on what IMAP clients are used and all kinds of other things. I don't want to waste time doing any benchmarks until after the changes I'm doing now. Anyway for IMAP webmails Dovecot is most likely many times faster than Courier. For "normal" IMAP clients it might not be that much faster, although several people have told that using Dovecot feels much faster than Courier/Cyrus.
Hi Guys..
Is anyone here using dovecot with over 300 000 mailboxes?
