Hello everyone, I heard about DBmail on Freshmeat Monday and decided to try it out. It seems to have promise. But I found a few things that I hope will help make using it a bit better. 1. the build.sh has 3 errors in it. lines 65. 68 I believe there needs to be a space after that [ so it reads [ -f instead of [-f. and line 118 you need to reference ./install-dbmail.sh instead of install-dbmail.sh otherwise they fail.
dont use build.sh. Use configure in stead.
there is also a bug in the install-dbmail.sh but I haven't spent much time on it yet I'm afraid.
try make install
I built Postgres7.4Beta (yes I know it's beta code) for the db. And tried to I used thunderbird 0.2 as my mail agent to test out the imap4 functions. and I'm not sure if i'm not abusing the system or what. imap worked, it slowly fed the message list to thunderbird and after about 30 minutes I had all 5255 messages. (Yes I used a very huge mailbox)
Not so very huge. Your tables are braindead if you're using the default schema. The mysql version was much improved and postgres will like dbmail better if you add:
create index name_idx on mailboxes(name); create index owner_id_idx on mailboxes(owner_idnr); create index is_subscribed_idx on mailboxes(is_subscribed); create index mailbox_id_idx on messages(mailbox_idnr); create index seen_flag_idx on messages(seen_flag); create index unique_id_idx on messages(unique_id); create index status_idx on messages(status); alter table messages add foreign key (mailbox_idnr) references mailboxes(mailbox_idnr) on delete cascade; alter table mailboxes add foreign key (owner_idnr) references users(user_idnr) on delete cascade; alter table messageblks add foreign key (message_idnr) references messages(message_idnr) on delete cascade; Ilja: fix the tables for postgres perhaps ? -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NET FACILITIES GROUP PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
