whooooops ;p they just seem to be stored in my brain liek that. i raised a few smiles at a recent meeting with some BT engineers when i said "smurftime" instead of "surftime" without even thinking about it. it took me a few seconds to realise why they were chuckling to themselfs ;p
I'm a hardcore exim fan, it does waht I need it too perfectlyditto - isn't that what they said about sendmail.
try getting the snaildmail fans to store userdata in MySQL easily, or automatically encrypting emails to a specified public key before storign on the server - or adding embeded perl filters/scripts ;)
Haven't braved Courier, I've mostly seen it referred to as an IMAP component to use with Postfix/Qmail etc.
i think courier is attempting to become a full email server suite, pop3(s), imap(s), smtp(s), webmail, and web interface ... all integrated together together with modular support so you can use whatever backend datastore you like. May be very nice.
it may be time for me to write a nice simple sexy MTA, designed for an ISP's needs (not one designed to try to cater for ewveryones needs), threaded, taking advantange of libc6, etc...I have the same feeling about most of these protcols, except I want to rewrite them in Java. My Java needs more practice first..... Much as Dan's coding style is quite tight, C is C, by the time you link it with sensibly secured libraries underneath you might as well have used Java in the first place ;)
;) i dislike java out of principal - don't ask me why, i just find it to be a very nice, but evil language - much like the MS-MFC implementation is to C++, totally useful and addictive, but plain evil. one of my partners, ben was force fed java at uni on a cs course - since then he has nightmares about it, bless his poor lost soul. maybe thats why i've avoided it ;) i have only been forced to use java once - Barclays merchant services provide an API for integrating credit card payments into your current systems, and guess what? they provided pre-compiled java, windows, solaris, and hpux libraries, but nothing for linux (yes, i've moaned and moaned and moaned, but it's uselsss with barclays), so off i went on my little escapade with java, ben writting the java code to link to our accouns system, and me writting the API to join the two (via a serial cable on a server with no conenctivity except a private leased line). now my bitching is this: java has terrible support for linking with perl or C/C++... want to run perl from C/C++? C(++) from perl? link C to a C++ library? python from C, C from python?, it's all nice and simple. but running java from C, or C from java seems nigh impossible - maybe i'm missing something obvious, but, errrrrr, dammn the language ;)
Simon, whose been playing with dnscachewoo woo! he's seen the light! amen! :p *duck*Do I have to rebuild it to handle more than 200 outstanding recursive clients, I would read the web page, but Dan's DNS appears to be down ;)
cy.yp.to looks fine to me? mayBe your current dns resolver is playing up? *ducks again* ;) ~ theo - -- Theo Zourzouvillys http://zozo.org.uk/ A tall, dark stranger will have more fun than you. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9Nrjn448CrwpTn6YRAmdMAKDb61YyDZB+RZ+76f4E5ZO/gjYNiACfbHm+ UrJOyiseJRcSYhuNHAG7UbY= =D4dU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
