Hi guys, Thank you for all your responds. What I was trying to say was just exactly as what you said Daren. But the same problem occured both with the MUA Outlook Express or Thunderbird. Some of my clients used Thunderbird (in MS Windows) and I used Thunderbird with OpenSuSE. And the second problem was when our clients tried to retrieve emails from their mailbox, it was longer than if we did it with the qmail server (qmail with out LDAP).
Hugo has noticed that it had something to do with the indexing within slapd.conf. Before I started this project (replacing qmail with qmail-ldap), I used LDAP merely for domain logons and authentication to Samba file server. And then I added only the mail attribute to get indexed. Here are the indeces. index objectClass eq index cn pres,sub,eq index sn pres,sub,eq index uid pres,sub,eq index displayName pres,sub,eq index uidNumber eq index gidNumber eq index memberUid eq index mail eq index givenname eq index sambaSID eq index sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq index sambaDomainName eq index default sub I will try to fix it first (because I think it's the easiest way to do) and do some trials. I will get rid some indeces that are not very significant, e.g. displayName, sn, or givenname, and then add the mailHost,mailQuotaSize, and so on. But I will gladly hear to any advises. Thank you very much for your kindness. Best regards, sato
Hi Claudio, just thinking out loud...... in reading sato's original email, from his description it would seem that the issue lies from MUA to MTA which would mean that its unlikely to be qmail (sato could you confirm please?) - what are your thoughts? He describes the mail sitting in his 'Outbox' for a period of time. This makes me think that he is using Outlook as a client and it is in the process of sending the mail to the MTA(qmail) via IMAP or similar. Sato - is this true? Also, could you try a different client like thunderbird and compare results? Thanks Darren
