One of the reasons why I chose to save the mailbox file in CRLF form, was due to the fact that the message could have been delivered with fast OS primitives, if already in CRLF (and hence RFC) form. This avoided creating extra copies of the message file during the SMAIL processing. In order to shove an extra file copy during the processing, I changed the way temporary file are created when it comes to SMAIL local delivery. Before such files were created inside the system temporary directory (/tmp or %TEMP%), and then a copy+delete was done to move the message inside the mailbox. The copy+delete was needed, insated of a standard OS move/rename, because the mailbox mount/drive coulad have been located in another mount/drive WRT the temporary directory. Now things are changed and XMail will use a tmp directory inside MAIL_ROOT. What does it change for you? If you don't mount domain subdirectories to other mount/drives (like 99% of XMail users), nothing. Xmail will automatically create the tmp subdirectory and the switch to the new version will be transparent. If you happen to mount domain subdirectories onto other mount/drives WRT MAIL_ROOT, you simply have to remember to create a .tmp directory at the root of the directory mount/drive. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regarding the LF on disk vs CRLF in the SMTP protocol: Could you have read the file and converted LF-CRLF on the fly while sending the TCP data? This is what I do now, for Unixes. Windows messages gets sent vanilla. Or does that create a performance hit that is unacceptable? A simple sendfile() (for Linux) is going to be faster, that's sure. I'm pretty darn sure that nobody will notice the difference. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[xmail] Re: 1.26-pre03
I´m asking because seems that XMail 1.26-pre03 is using %TEMP% for these temporaly stuff (and not tmp dir). Or tmp dir will only be used in others systems NOT Windows?
