Hello Dovecot developers, Apple has made and tested significant changes to Dovecot v1.1 and now is ready to contribute them back to your open source project. The changes include: Scalability and performance: allow pop/imap mail processes to handle multiple clients larger listen queues Stability and maintenance: fix to allow cross-compilation workarounds for Mac OS X bugs a couple general bug fixes symbol conflict resolution Features: Open Directory integration back off after failed auth attempts Mac OS X-specific handle dynamic host name changes I could contribute these as one giant patch or as a sequence of discrete patches. How would you prefer to receive them?
Very cool to see Apple contribute to dovecot! Cor
three cheers to see apple working on this. hopefully we will see it on 10.6 os x server looking forward to it. if there is any tutorial on installing it in conjunction 10.5 server it would be greatly appreciated. rashantha de silva On Dec 12, 2008, at 12:24 PM, Mike Abbott wrote:> Hello Dovecot developers, > > Apple has made and tested significant changes to Dovecot v1.1 and > now is ready to contribute them back to your open source project. > The changes include: > > Scalability and performance: > allow pop/imap mail processes to handle multiple clients > larger listen queues > > Stability and maintenance: > fix to allow cross-compilation > workarounds for Mac OS X bugs > a couple general bug fixes > symbol conflict resolution > > Features: > Open Directory integration > back off after failed auth attempts > Mac OS X-specific > handle dynamic host name changes > > I could contribute these as one giant patch or as a sequence of > discrete patches.

I'll most likely put only the bug fixes to v1.1 and the rest to v1.2. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I need that badly here, to the point that I was considering writing such a patch myself. Hoards of little prepubescent miscreants won't stop hammering on my pop3 port and it's driving me bananas. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL
