Well, I am fond of "old" hardware, which may still be on the wrong side of the
New/Old divide for some of you: DECSYSTEM-20s and VAX 11/780s were the first

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little
reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space,
it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

Minor patches for builds against ancient platforms
I was recently asked to upgrade some neolithic aged software (UW-IMAP,
sendmail 8.12.x, apache 1.3, amongst other horrors).
The box is physically remote, so an aggressive "new flush" wasn't an option.
I've been able to upgrade the compiler to gcc-3.4, openssl to 1.0.2k, glibc,
php to something in the 5.4-branch, etc.
I have CLucene working, even.
I know should take a shotgun

upgrade 2.2 to 2.3, diffie-hellman, ssl_min_protocol
Thanks Joseph, Aki, but something missing from upgrade document, where
does the dh param file go? I located ssl-parameters.dat so I will put
it there.

Indexing Mail faster
Hey Joseph
Thanks. Strace seems like a very useful tool
Only problem is that I dont think it is maintained on ubuntu.
Tried to run:-
apt-get install strace but could not download it.
Might need to download and build it. Do you know any other way of getting
it?
Thanks

Certificate cache on iOS with sending mail
I deleted the certificate already, but I think it only uses that for imap/dovecot. I don't think it actually stores one for smtps (or am I not talking sense here).
