I'm dying to use the 1.0 capability to use more than one mysql user pasword database. However, I'm too chicken to use 1.0-test in a production environment. Does anyone know if there is a planned release date for 1.0? Or can anyone say how risky it is to use 1.0-test?
I have been using 1.0-test in production use for a while, and its rokken like dokken. In my experiance, problems only show up soon after a new version is released (and are fixed just as quickly). This is not your typical "-current == broke to hell" project :).

Dovecot-1.0-stable is intended for semi-chickens like me who want 1.0 functionality without being too bleeding-edge.
See http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-January/006144.html
I've not checked it's got what you want though (it might be considered bleeding edge itself)!
The only bugs I've spotted in it so far have been minor issues with the namespace code ...

The -stable branch you pointed out is not 1.0-stable but just a branch in time along the 1.0-test releases, prior to a fairly big change. 1.0 has not been released yet.

Yes, even though it's called "dovecot-1.0-stable", it's not to be confused with a full release, it's just a snapshot of 1.0-test that's intended to be usable in production.
Timo has been back-porting important bugfixes from the later testXX builds - see http://www.dovecot.org/nightly/stable/ChangeLog.
Things will change quite a lot, I think, when he's happy with the major changes he's been making and releases a 1.0-beta.
Best Wishes, Chris

Thanks. I'll give that a try today.

Hi Patrick,
We currently use dovecot-1.0-stable on a cluster of 2 dovecot servers, 1 NFS server (well, the backup as the main mail file server had a disk failure last week) and one of our generic MySQL servers are used to replicate the user/pass DB. We have around 6000 users on this system (and still many more to migrate). This is all run of 1U half depth (can fit 2 back-2-back in 1U of rackspace) 1GHz VIA EPIA based servers with virtually no system load.
I also test the new test releases for stability with out setup on occasion, these are getting better and better as well.
Regards Andrew

Hi Andrew,
What MTA you use? What the best MTA (with user/pass in SQL) to work with Dovecot for a large number of users and domains?
Thanks,
Jefferson

For MX relays use Exim with SQL + Spamassassin (and postfix for customers who require it). For a customer SMTP server we use sendmail with lib-nss to connect to the mysql password database for authentication. All this makes it easy or our customer control panel (its ancient, needs re-writing) to add/delete/modify users.

Sorry, meant procmail, not postfix. I always get the 2 names confused when I tired :)
