Using maildir with Postfix

MAILDIR : Qmail ---> Postfix
I'm migrating from Qmail (on an eMac to Postfix on a MacPro.
One thing I'm reluctant to leave behind is the use of maildir ("Two words: no locks").
Is anyone here using maildir with Postfix on OS X Server (10.5.2)?
How did you get it to work cleanly?
Are there any caveats to using the Sys Admin tool afterwords?
I love Qmail... but, I think I need to move to Postfix on the Pro for ease of ongoing maintenance and updates. Qmail is ROCK solid once set up, but is a bit of a pain to remember everything you need to get into place for updating a piece of the toaster. Though I love what daemontools provides, I'll also be able to use launchd now for more simplicity. The thought of setting up the complete qmail toaster again makes my brain hurt. That's the problem with a great setup that worked, you forget it!

Virtual Domains & WGM Users
An aside.. I'm using vpopmail for virtual domains... and I'm researching the virtual domain thing on 10.5.2+postfix... do I really need to use WGM? I don't want to create OS level users if I can help it... Maybe I just don't understand WGM -- I've been reading the forum on this issue, but there are lots of posts to weed through...! so if you also know about this issue... that'd be great!

Luckily I skipped ever working with sendmail!
The short answer to your question is: Yes. I'm sure the postfix mailbox default would be just fine especially in my light use case.... But I have (a little) extra time, and I really like maildir. I just think it is superior. So even though I am going leopard server to relieve me of extra work... I can't help tweaking it here or there for fun (cause it isn't for profit!). Asking for others experience in the the forum seems perfectly reasonable. After reading, I'm pretty sure setting for maildir would not be much extra work or break anything. I'm more worried about the virtual domain stuff.
All things being equal, I would prefer to stay with qmail... however, I am a "light" sysadmin, not a pro one. I've managed a few boxes in the past and set up FreeBSD with qmail+tools etc... but I no longer manage those. I still manage my own server at home with a few domains and a small group of email accounts (family and friends).
I'm a Mac guy from WAY back, but I also like Unix (OS X was a huge lump of cool beans for me!) So my computer of choice is a Mac. When I set up the eMac ~4 years ago, I wanted to run qmail on it and I didn't buy OSX server. But, the truth is that putting qmail together on the mac was a HUGE pain in the kiester! Obviously I got it working, but not without a fair amount of tweaking and re-compiling etc. etc. And as you know the eMac is PPC. So now I've got a Mac Pro and it's going to do a lot for me. Since I've got a student discount (MBA), I also got Leopard server.
What I expect is a simpler administration experience, along with more confidence of options for putting things right when they go wrong, including being able to rapidly recreate the server from scratch if I need to. Frankly even with my copious notes, I'm not sure I could recreate the eMac server quickly! (BTW that **** eMac has run flawlessly 24x7 for 4 years straight (another reason to rotate it off.)
So, no, I am not expecting Postfix to "wow" me over qmail. And I'm fine with using a single postfix alias file instead of the pretty cool .qmail-alias files. Though I could build the whole thing, I want all the pieces to pretty much be there for me. I got other fish to fry!
Since I know my way around FreeBSD there just is a bit of a learning curve using Leopard server sys admin tools. Since I'm in no rush (I don't have a busted server), I'm taking my time learning how to get the postfix part of the puzzle set up right: maildir and virtual domains. I'm setting up a new server with OS X server.
I had no intent to write this much LOL.. Your point on mailbox is entirely valid. I just want to use maildir if it isn't too much trouble. "Need?" Nope. I don't need. Incurable computer nut with foibles? Yep!

  • [SOLVED]Issue with Postfix sending to external mail addresses

    I'm having a very silly issue with Postfix. I followed the wiki article at [link]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix[/link], and everything seems to work properly, however I cannot send to emails outside of my domain.
    I get the error:

    Your main.cf seems redundant.
    For example:
    if you specify:
    virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_forwards.cf
    you don't need this:
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
    and i think you have a lot of more options you don't need.
    This is my main.cf on my vps and everything works great (sending and receiving emails from/to most common mail server: gmail, hotmail etc etc)
    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
    biff = no
    # appending .domain is the MUA's job.
    append_dot_mydomain = no

    virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf
    virtual_transport = dovecot
    dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
    it is very simple (no dkim, no forced tls, no mailbox limits and so on) and it can be improved but it works..
    as I suggested you just try spending some hour wiping postfix installation and giving a look to this guide

  • Change a Header with Postfix

    I have a nagging feeling that I can't do this with Postfix, but I thought I would go ahead and ask.
    I use a 4D bulk mail module for sending my permissions-based bulk mail. Unfortunately, the application doesn't add a "real name" to the From: header. As such, my bulk mail is triggering the NOREALNAME score in SpamAssassin and whatever the equivalent there is in other filters. While getting this fixed in the 4D application has been promised by the developers, it generally takes the developer quite a while to make such a fix.
    So, I'm stuck wondering if I could jigger Postfix to change the header for me. In other words ...
    if the From: header = "[email protected]", then change so that the From: header = "Prufrock's Promotions Newsletter <[email protected]>"
    Before ...
    From: [email protected]
    After ...
    From: Prufrock's Promotions Newsletter <[email protected]>
    Is something like this possible?

    As far as I know (not a 100% sure though), postfix can only rewrite the address part of the from header, not the name.
    So it could change [email protected] to [email protected], but not add the name.
    A solution would be to use the content-filter facility of postfix to process mails through an external script. (Same principle as amavisd or dkimproxy).

    As  Winston Churchill wrote, however you might want to do a factory reset on the Apple TV.
    This way all information pertaining to your daughter will be removed from the device. Specifically if see was sign into any of the streaming service, Netflix, Hulu, etc. her credentials will still be associated with this Apple TV, doing  a factory reset will remove all that and make it as if you purchased the device and just plugged it in.

  • OPEN CURSOR using a WITH clause in the select query

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • How do I use user_datastore with a feeder proc to add an mdata section?

    Hi,
    I have text data spread across a number of different tables. I have created a user_datastore with a feeder procedure that creates an xml document which is then indexed into a dummy column on the parent table. This works fine. However I need to add an mdata section to the index, via my xml document. I haven't seen any examples of this being done in conjunction with the ctxsys.auto_section_group option of the create index statement, and am wondering if it is possible?
    Could somebody furnish me an example of how I achieve this.
    Oracle 11.2.
    Thanks
    Ralph

    You can't use MDATA with AUTO_SECTION_GROUP. AUTO means it automatically assigns zone sections for every tag it finds - if you want anything other than zone sections you must use BASIC_SECTION_GROUP, XML_SECTION_GROUP or HTML_SECTION_GROUP and manually define your sections.

  • Using Excel with Visual C++ 6.0 (need a graph control that behaves as much like the one in CVI as possible)

    I hate to beat this to death but I was unable to find a
    clear answer to this question.  Does NI provide Excel control from within
    Visual C++ 6.0? 
    I read that NI supports the ANSI-C library only for Visual C++ 6.0 users:
    Thread : "Re: Benifits of using measurment
    studio for VC++ 6.0?"
    NI REP : drohacek
    Quote  : "we made the decision to support Visual
    C++ 6.0 users only through the ANSI-C interface and not through the Measurement
    Studio MFC-based class libraries."
    If there is a suggested way of controlling Excel from within Measurement Studio
    for Visual C++ 6.0 then I’d love to know it. 
    If not, can a plain statement be made basically stating that if you want
    to control Excel you can’t use a Visual C++ 6.0 environment even with Measurement
    Studio support?
    With .NET of course you can just decide to have Excel support added during
    project creation.  CVI can act as an ActiveX server and easily control
    Excel just by building off the examples shipped with CVI.  I see that
    there is support, using the Measurement Studio for Visual C++ 6.0 Project Wizard,
    for taking existing CVI projects and converting them to Visual C++ 6.0 projects
    or for calling CVI libraries from a .dll from within Visual C++ 6.0.  I suppose I could do the work
    in CVI and then convert the project but I'm so deeply tied into all my MFC calls that I don't see
    how I can cleanly include the CVI libraries into my existing VC++ 6.0 projects.
    What I'm really after here is a visual graph control like the one in CVI that I
    can use from Visual C++ 6.0.  I purchased a 3rd party graph control for use
    in VC++ 6.0 that works well but isn't really visual.  I mean you can't
    enter any values in it until you run the program and fill it out programmatically. 
    Then you can see which columns are two narrow, quit the program, adjust the
    column width of your now empty control, and repeat, until you get the thing
    looking the way you want.  If I could call into Excel from within Visual
    C++ 6.0  the way I do from within .NET
    then I could use Excel to hold the table and just read in the values into my table
    control at run time.  Basically I'd use Excel as a visual development tool
    for all my tables.
    I do all my coding from within CVI and Measurement Studio for Visual C++
    6.0.  I'd use CVI for everything if I didn't depend so heavily on certain
    outside controlled C++ .dll's.  Could you please suggest then what I can
    do to get Excel support for Visual C++ 6.0?
    Last question :
    Is there any plan to ever have a NI table control like the CVI table control for
    use in Visual Studio?  One that you can
    completely set up before you do any compiling? 
    I imagine that the way Microsoft sets up their environment makes this idea impossible.  Otherwise someone would
    have come up with a truly “visual” table control before now.

    Hello Grant
    You can most certainly use Excel with VC++ 6.0. Measurement Studio won't provided you with any classes to talk to Excel in VC++ 6.0. This is because Excel allows control via Automation and you can use its automation API to do anything you need with Excel. This is what CVI uses as well.
    You can see this MSDN article on how to set this up. This mentions VC.NET, but it should work the same way.
    Here is one that talks about VC 6.0 and Excel.
    Here is a code project article about this.
    Even with .NET, you have to do thru the Excel Automation support. Excel started shipping with Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) which are .NET wrappers about the Excel Automation object model. C++ Automation is definetely not as nice as .NET, BTW
    See this document for more information about the Excel object model.
    I would not recommend using the CVI Excel libraries if all you want to use them for is Excel automation. You will end up creating un-necessary dependencies and go through extra layers that way. You can make calls straight to Excel from VC++ without requiring CVI.
    One quick observation about your excel approach. If you decide to use Excel as your table, you might be requiring everyone who uses your application to have Excel installed on their machines. Just wanted to make sure this was acceptable to you.
    Have you looked at the Datagrid Activex control, which is one of the common controls that ships with Visual Studio? You can add it to Visual Studio by right-clicking and picking it from the list of installed activex control. If you have not already, you should check it out.
    Microsoft has made significant improvements in the number of controls they provide with .NET. They have a Datagrid control that seems to be what you need.
    Measurement Studio did add some high level classes for Excel and Word Automation that simplify some common tasks, but these exists for VS 2003 C++ and VS 2005 C++, not for VC 6.0. Underneath, we end up using the same Excel automation classes, so you can easily setup something similar for VC 6.0. Plus you can find alot of references online on how to use the Excel Automation object model with C++.
    We currently have no plans in Measurement Studio to create a table control unfortunately. I am assuming when you said graph, you actually meant table, since Measurement Studio already  provides a ActiveX graph controls for VC++ 6.0 that is very similar to the CVI graph.
    On a side note, VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?
    To summarize
    - Yes, you can use Excel with Vc++ 6.0 without mstudio.
    - Try using the Datagrid Activex control if you just need a table.
    - Measurement Studio provides high-level excel and word classes for VC++ 6.0
    - Measurement Studio provides a graph control for VC++ 6.0 which is very similar to the CVI graph.
    - Measuremnt Studio does not have a table control.
    - VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?

  • How to trigger New page while using ALV with classes/oops?

    Hi All
    I am trying to print a report which has to show the data in two pages.
    I am using ALV with classes/oops.
    Though I am able to print the report but a new page is not coming. Whole of the data is coming in one single page.
    Please tell me as to how to trigger a NEW PAGE while using ALV with classes/oops.
    Please send some code samples also if available.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jerry

    using sort option you can do it. in case of grid/oo alv class ALV you can view that only in print mode/preview mode.
    in case of list you can view that directly.
    sort-fieldname = 'FIELDNAME'.
    sort-group = '*'  "triggers new page
    sort-up = 'X'.
    append sort to it_sort.
