In setting up our Dovecot IMAP system, we early on dispensed with MS clients (we run XP and 2K) - I suspect their implementation of IMAP is purely suited for MS servers. I have used Pegasus and Eudora with varying success, and Thunderbird with somewhat less success - but it still works. The problems are: Pegasus (my current client): 1. Doesn't support new mail folder filtering on the IMAP new mail folder; however they can be set up as a general rule set applied to the folder whenever the folder is opened. 2. Doesn't automatically update the new mail folder with new mail if in preview mode. Works OK outside preview mode. 3. Doesn't support (at least with Dovecot) creation of folders in which you can place folders. Folders are created with -rw--- permissions, instead of drwx--. Eudora: 1. Not especially stable 2. Doesn't support asking where to save sent mail (this is a unique Pegasus feature, i think - and saves much time) Thunderbird: 1. Very poor folder support 2. No way to update folder list if you use another method of creating them. Pity there's no REALLY good IMAP mail client. Hope this helps.

[SLUG] Busybox: logread buffering output
First, a little bit of context: I have a Linksys WRT54G running OpenWRT as my home gateway. Among other things, my init scripts are launching syslogd, using the neat busybox trick of logging to a circular buffer, giving you local logs without writing to your flash all the time. There's a small utility called logread to dump the contents of the buffer, or with the right option tail the buffer, continuing to dump output as the log grows. (it's also logging to another machine on my LAN, but that's not relevant) Recently, while searching for something completely unrelated, I found an article[1] describing a cute little hack for monitoring firewall logs. The Linksys can't make any noise, but it does have a couple of user-configurable LEDs on the front panel[2]. Who am I to resist the lure of blinkenlights? Modifying the linuxgazette script slightly for the nuances of the Linksys and my firewall rules, I get the following: - #!/bin/sh logread -f | \ awk '$0 ~ /DROPPED/ { system(echo 0x01 /proc/sys/diag); system(echo 0x00 /proc/sys/diag); }' - First of all, there really needs to be a delay between turning the LED on and off. Unfortunately OpenWRT doesn't build busybox with usleep, although if I get around to upgrading the firmware I'll turn it (and a couple of other options) on first. sleep isn't much of an option as it doesn't go any faster than 1 second. The only other alternative I can come up with is an evil busywait loop. Any other suggestions? Second of all, well, it doesn't work at all (my test version replaces the two echos with one echoing to stdout), and it took a fair bit of headscratching to figure out why. Running logread -f at a shell prompt shows log output being dumped to the console straight away. But when piping the output of logread -f to another program, it buffers output and sends a half dozen lines at a time. Letting the test script run for a minute or two then hitting CTRL-C leads to a whole bunch of output; it looks like logread is flushing it's buffers as it quits, and feeding a whole bunch of stuff to awk at once. I then tested this by running logread -f , logread -f | echo and a tail of the remote syslogd's logs side by side. So, what can I do to get unbuffered output? I peeked in the logread code, but my C fu wasn't up to the task, and again it basically amounts to building new firmware. I don't suppose there's any other way to read from a circular buffer, given the very limited toolset provided by busybox and a small handful of utilities? I'm also considering directing syslog to log to a named pipe, or some arrangement with a logfile stored in a ramdisk. I'm open to any suggestions that are much less manky though.
