My problem with cyrus-imap is it uses its own private databases, and it's difficult to use with standard *ix tools. >> Can I just execute the courier-imap I build for my "OpenPKG hosting >> distro" and integrate with Postfix, LDAP, ... from OpenPKG ? >> >That would be nice for you to make the Courier IMAP package.

My build includes whoson support that I added since I couldn't find other patches. ftp://ftp.celestial.com/private/ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/courier-imap-1.5.3-20031124.src.rpm The spec file is pretty messy, and uses some macros I've pulled over from Caldera's version of RPM. One particularly nasty bit is that it builds the program twice due to some dependencies in the Makefiles triggered by the whoson patches. I couldn't figure out a prettier way to deal with that. My spec file also violates OpenPKG standards by building multiple package to separate out the different database authentication methods. There's a package that adds these to OpenPKG as well: ftp://ftp.celestial.com/private/ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/csrpmutils-0.90-20030119.src.rpm ... >If you have a spec file for Courier IMAP, then you probably took it from >another RPM packaging system.

On the other hand it does work (although it may well require installing with the --nodeps option since it turns up many dependencies on system supplied libraries).
