The problem from the FreeBSD perspective is that both MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but they are large. I might see if I can make flavors, but I won’t have time for that for a few weeks.

OK, will do.

Feels like a big hammer for a small nut - has there been any discussion about having loadable modules?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, the defaults do not include DB support.

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any progress on this.

I just upgraded a FreeBSD box and had the same issue again.

I keep (reasonably) good support notes so I found the one that said I had to install from ports - so all is well. I was just wondering if there was any news.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

-Graham-

I have run RC versions and well as RELEASE versions on FreeBSD and I always compile with (/opt path relative to version): ./configure
--prefix=/opt/dovecot2.3
--with-ioloop=kqueue
--with-notify=kqueue
--with-sql=yes
--with-mysql
--with-zlib
--with-bzlib
--with-ssl=openssl gmake install

So maybe we should tell the OP that he needs to:

cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot make config [ select the MySQL option and save] make install clean.

[He's probably coming from Linux world to FreeBSD]
