Re: Qmail IMAP4 for Maildir - best one??
Roger Arnold wrote: Great one Tony, Thank God that someone else thinks some (not all) people on this list are real Jerks, would like to use stronger language but am trying to be polite. A lot of the experts read the title and glance at the request, and then set about running the person that asked into the ground by making un called for remarks about why the question asked, when they think all the answers are in the archives etc., without finding out what the question was really about. Also many of the answers in the archives often don't answer what the searcher was after (such as your query) and further answers are needed, which take many hours rather than seconds to find, if at all. One of the main reasons that I stay away from lists to do with qmail is because of the attitude of a lot of these type of people, which if they don't want to help, they would be best not to answer at all. Regards Roger Tony Harris wrote: Thank you for such a wonderfully nice short response. I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I had read several were out there - and I had read on here some people complaining about slowness and some moving from courier to UW, and some moving from UW to courier. I HAD searched the archives - most of the ones that had to do with opinions of IMAP that I saw were several months old - as you know software can change fast with new features and better stability. Reading the base faq (which I DID DO): 5.2.4. imap-maildir David R. Harris has cleaned up the patch that adds maildir support to the University of Washington IMAP server and documented the installation process. See http://www.davideous.com/imap-maildir/. 5.2.5. Courier-IMAP Sam Varshavchik has written an IMAP server that supports maildir mailboxes only. It's available from http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/. And I did not read *your* FAQ because I do not use QMail-LDAP - actually I use a combination of sendmail and qmail for the mail solution, so forgive me for not wanting to make a switch to move everything into an LDAP style solution. So, before you jump down someones throat for something you ASSUME (ie: not doing homework) - check first. -Tony - Original Message - From: Henning Brauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 3:33 PM Subject: Re: Qmail IMAP4 for Maildir - best one??

How many seconds did you spent in searching the archives, reading lifewithqmail.org and qmail.org? In short: courier is the preferred one for most of us. I'm looking at trying out squirrelmail (so any other tips one might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated as well ;) squirrel is fine, sqwebmail too. I've written a short pargraph about the two in www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/.

How to stop Qmail from retrying a process that can't be completed
Roger Arnold wrote: Someone tried (I think) to send email through their virtual domain, which qmail won't allow (again I think) probably due to the relaying rules. This has created a process which can't be completed and I need to know how to stop qmail trying. Now I know that I may be barking up the wrong tree but I still need to know how to stop a process, so if it is in the archive (I couldn't find a reference) could someone point me to the appropiate section please. Thanks in advance Regards Roger

Re: Constantly recurring error and newbie needs help urgently please Fixed I think
Roger Arnold wrote: Thanks to everyone that pointed out my misconception that the list was not receiving the email that I sent 3 times. I was unaware of the broken mailserver and thought that somehow my message was being diverted and not getting to the list, and I apologise for my mistake sincerely. As for the problem I was having, I think I have worked it out. What happened was that I had just installed courier-imap in order to implement web mail, and I think I must have mis-configured it because after a reboot the problem ceased ( I had only started the imapd daemon by the command line and not put it in the server startup script). I did check the qmail logs and found nothing irregular there.

Doesanyone know how to install Bruce Guenter's Qmail rpm's please
Roger wrote: Could someone tell me the order as well as how to install Bruce Guenter's Qmail rpms please? I have a double problem, first I am now running Redhat7.1, and two I have forgotton how to install rpm's (I never knew in the first place, but I have lost the instructions someone gave me before), the worst case being supervise-scripts which is a noarch.rpm (I don't even know what a noarch rpm is). Sorry to be so dumb and desperate, but I have been stuffing around for days, trying first to install daemontools (because of Redhat 7.1) and now the rest of the rpms don't want to install. Thanks in advance for any and all help Regards Roger
