Hi,
I built binc and it runs fine with inetd so far. Building and installing
checkpassword was no big deal either.
I could solve one part of the mbox problem by forcing procmail to all
users, but I decided to migrate to postfix, which should be easy to do.
I will do that as the first step and when postfix runs in the current
enviroment, I'll migrate the whole systems to binc.
I'v seen there's an option in postfix to make it use Maildir:
# DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
#
# The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a
# mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default
# mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify
# "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required).
#
#home_mailbox = Mailbox
#home_mailbox = Maildir/
Do I understand it right and I just set home_Mailbox=Maildir/ and
postfix will deliver to ~/Maildir in Maildir-format!? (Is it really tjat
easy!?)
Its that easy for qmail. I don't know about postfix... I think you should
ask this on the postfix mailing list.
Further: the problem with software that uses /var/mail in mbox-format is
not that bad, because kbiff supports check on imap and maildir which is
the most important thing.
See http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html for a discussion of the significant
shortcomings of the mbox format.
