SMTP-AUTH. I know that CRAM-MD5 issues are fixed as of 5.3.6 (Woohoo!
Thanks, Bill!), I know that 5.3.8 seems stable from what I've seen
on this list, but I'm still nervous deploying dev software on a
production box. So, question #1 is: will there be a new stable
version soon?
I think it's about time we release a new production version.
The development version 5.3.8 doesn't seem to have any problems.
We are running it in production.
Cool, I'll just go with 5.3.8 hope you don't change version numbers
when you start calling it the production version. ;)
I would also appreciate it if anyone has time to critique my upgrade plans:
Back up /var/qmail /home/vpopmail
Grab fresh qmail source
Patch with elysium.pl SMTP-AUTH patch
make setup check #This is non-destructive as far as existing control
files, etc., no?
Install vpopmail 5.3.8 over existing 5.2.
That works. Recompile any programs that link the vpopmail library too.
Apologies for the ongoing questions, but what programs are those? I
don't think I'm running any that won't be rebuilt by installing the
new version, but I may just be hugely ignorant here. (Just running
vpopmail, no web admin stuff, no imap.)
Thanks again,
Kit
