And while they're at it, they could hopefully give an opinion on whether there's any point keeping "traditional" Murder from a technical standpoint, i.e. if it would hurt to make all Murder "unified" and if people choose to lay out their servers in the traditional manner it would still just work.I for one, a newbie to Cyrus, would vote for a design which allows all-in-one servers, and allows separation if needed. Basically, "localhost" should always be a valid network destination for all types of network communication based systems. Why is this a problem with current Cyrus Murder setups? What internal details prevent a front-end server, mupdate server, and back-end server from coexisting on the same physical system? Is it that there's no facility in the back-end server feature to make it listen only on localhost:imap and not on *:imap? If that's the only problem, I am sure it'll be a simple patch to fix. But I guess the problem is bigger than this.
In the "traditional" Murder it is possible to run two or more Cyrus instances on one host, but you must use additional IP-Addresses to separate frontend, backend and mupdate server. In the unified setup you don't need the additional IPs, but there are some known bugs in the unified murder. http://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2814 http://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2915 http://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2973 http://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2976 http://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3110
