I'm doing a complete upgrade of a server which I was using uw-imap for the imap/pop4 daemons.(This was an old RH 7.2 system and has been upgraded to CentOS 4.4 64bit) I notice there isn't an rpm at any of the repositories for this. I do pop before smpt for the remote users I have and also use procmail for calling spamc from SpamAssassin. Is there some place I can get uw's imap or do I need to settle for using something like Dovecot? (Which doesn't support procmail AFAICT) Also I did do a search and read the wiki for CentOS and just about everyplace I could think of. Thanks for any and all suggestions. -- -Doc Lincoln, NE. http://www.genealogyforyou.com/ http://www.cairnproductions.com/

The difference in procmail recipes is subtle but easy to recognize: Here's my traditional (mbox) recipe: :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes spam And here's the Maildir version: :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes .spam/ The trailing slash and leading dot are the key indicators, though it's the slash that tells procmail to use Maildir format. If you'd like a .src.rpm of UW-IMAP 2006d, let me know. I'll send you a copy of mine, and you can tweak/build it as you like. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com

(Which doesn't support procmail AFAICT)i normally prefer to migrate to cyrus instead than dovecot. The problems that i will not have in migration i will have in production. Now, in two productions systems, migrated from CentOS3/RHEL3 to CentOS4, we copy all mbox files and the files in the $HOME directory files that use uwimap, and did use the uwimap packages fron CentOS3 inside CentOS 4. We only need to install the gcc compatibility package, and manually install the uwimap rpms. One system is running more than a year and without problems (the migration to cyrus was retarded because the system is working too well) the other system was migrated to cyrus a month ago, but in the eight months in operations works flawlessly -- Black Hand Powered by Linux, KDE 3.5.1 and lots of GNU Force
