 Hi,

 Any recommendations for a IMAP server (on Debian 2.2)? IMAP4.7c (I
 think this is UW IMAP?)

On Solaris, I've had a great amount of success with the Courier-IMAP
suite. Courier-IMAP only uses Maildirs, which is a newer mailbox storage
format that works reliably over NFS (apparently).

It works brilliantly with Exim, if you set up Exim to deliver into
Maildirs.

I've been using it in a production environment for a few months now, and
not had any problems whatsoever with it.

If you're getting tired of the UW-IMAP daemon, give Courier-IMAP a try.
Its worth the effort in getting it set up. MS Outlook 2000, Pine, Netscape
Communicator all work flawlessly with it.

 hey,
 i am using qpopper for pop3 access. one of my users hasn't been
 reading mail in two weeks, and now her mailbox is 16Mb. that's not a
 lot, no. however, she uses microcrap software, which is not succeeding
 at downloading whereas a direct POP3 interaction with the server
 through netcat revealed that it was working. however, whenever a user
 logs in through POP, the following happens:

Yeah, qpopper does that. Try running it in server mode (I forget the
correct switch) or switch to cucipop which doesn't play around with the
mailbox so much.

Courier-IMAP contains a POP3 server, which works rather well.

 anyone know of a POP3 server capable of serving out of $HOME/Maildir/
 and which isn't part of qmail?

RE: Compaq Smart2 Array

2001-04-04 Thread Nathan Ollerenshaw
Yup,

The array was configured and in fact I had sucessfully installed redhat 7
and 6.2 on the machine. They recognised the compaq utils partition and
avoided it appropriately.

I think the problem is that the debian root disk doesn't have entries in
/dev for the /dev/ida devices, and can't detect them.

The compact kernel while booting saw the device, and listed all the
/dev/ida/c0d0p[1-7] partitions correctly, so the actual configuration of the
array was fine.

Nathan.

 Have you already configured the array?  I've only had to install NT on
 Compaqs but before I even start installing the OS I have to configure
 the array controller i.e. tell it which spindles should be used for each
 of the logical drives, and what raid mode to use for each logical
 drive.

 The Smart Array configuration utility is on the Compaq SmartStart CD -
 it's bootable.

Compaq Smart2 Array

2001-04-03 Thread Nathan Ollerenshaw
Hi,

Was wondering if there is a debian boot floppy with the compaq smart2
controller driver on it? I have a DL380 here that I would prefer debian was
on, but unfortunately the standard boot floppies doesn't have it.

Alternatively, if its as simple as just makeing a boot floppy on another
linux box with a particular setup, the pointers on how to do that would be
equally as good.

Cheers,

Nathan.
