Hi,

I was not able to force that GAMIN called sendmsg which was defined in libc.so. Then, I modified COURIER-IMAP, instead of GAMIN.

Great, I tested this and it works. I used it as basis for upgrade patch. If anybody would like to try 0.53.3 with this patch, look for ports/105573 in FreeBSD PR database. I would like to get as much feedback as possible.

I downloaded the pr patch and applied it manually and it broke the complilation with fam but since I'm not sure if this should be fam based or gamin based with the change. I would also appreciate your attaching an empty mail/courier port with your changes, if you could, just to be sure that my manual application was ok although they were very simple but sometimes that is worse.

Well, for me it does not compile with fam either. Gamin works, with Hiroshi's patch. I still need someone with more fam knowledge to help... it looks like fam's compillations broke somehow with upgrade from 2.6.9 to 2.6.10... I will put full port somewhere at my site www.dino.sk, but I need some time to do it. Too much work at the moment.

On a side note, I would like to know which add-ons are people using with courier. I have good experience with clamcour (security/clamcour in FreeBSD ports) and a bit with pythonfilter (mail/courier-pythonfilter in ports).

I am only using spamassassin and clamcour, that I agree works great. What else is being used? I'm also thinking that maybe this should probably be on the por@freebsd.org rather than courier-users unless other os's have the gamin/fam conflicts.

Clamcour has currently issue with scanning concurrency, author is notified and new version is being awaited. Actually it comes from clamav library, which is declared thread-safe, but tests show there could be some race condition. Current FreeBSD port version has this issue, but should be fixed soon. Tony is responsive and cooperative. I do not think this is appropriate for ports mailing list, fam/gamin issues are not OS specific, as I did see at various places over the net. If nothing else, these are issues for courier users, so I would expect better exposure here and better feedback.

I was just looking at my different courier installations and I see that there isn't a gamin/fam standard. On some I'm still running /usr/local/bin/fam -T 0 and newer ones, I'm not and they all work although one is complaining about fam in the log file. I guess that what I'm suggesting is that a best or recommended method be added to the courier port. Life was easier before gamin but . . .

I have no idea which method is the best. Actually, the only part using fam/gamin is imap part, if I am right, and even that part could be compiled succesfully without fam support. According the documentation the only lost feature is ENHANCED IDLE mode (command?) I have no knowledge about. I would like to get some pointers on this issue. I am inclined to make fam support optional. I think this could make life a bit easier, only remaining question is default value - support on or off? Regards, Milan
