bye bye mbox, hello Maildir

Κατηγορίες: email — Tags:thanks — Sotiris Tsimbonis @ 12:43 πμ

Χρησιμοποιούσαμε Qpopper και mbox για Ν χρόνια (Ν=forever).
Χθες όμως ήταν η τελευταία μέρα.
Σήμερα χρησιμοποιούμε dovecot και Maildir.
Η αλλαγή στο mailbox format δεν έγινε “σ’ένα βράδυ”.
Πήρε περίπου δύο μήνες.

Ηταν όμως το τελευταίο βήμα σε ένα έργο που δούλεψαν πολλοί άνθρωποι τα τελευταία 5 χρόνια.

Thank you all !

Συγχαρητήρια και από μένα :)
Γράψε μας όμως το πώς/γιατί το αποφασίσατε, και πώς έγινε το transition … θέλουμε τις λεπτομέρειες :)

- Η αλλαγή του mailbox format έγινε για δύο λόγους..
  1. Γιατί είχαμε πολύ συχνά corrupted mboxes σε πελάτες που έβλεπαν ταυτόχρονα το mail τους από “σταθερό” και blackberry devices.
  2. Γιατί πλέον υπάρχουν quota μέχρι 2GB και όχι μόνο 50MB ..
  
  Το conversion γίνεται με το http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert όμως τα μαγικά για το ομαλό transition χωρίς downtime θα πρέπει να στα πω από κοντά (λάθος καιρό διάλεξες να φύγεις από τη Θεσ/νίκη :p).
