I'll just type away on some questions/thoughts I have on courier: (everything with a question mark here ;) .. )
* What performance level can be expected from it? I noticed the test delivery of 5k messages locally (from the installation instructions) took 10 minutes on my dual-400MHz IDE-disk PC. (With syslogging to four local logs.) Is this typical? Where does the mail delivery spend most of its time?
* What was the talk about that /bin/hostname should return a FQDN here a couple of days ago? I just noticed mine doesn't and I think it was courier that wanted it. Are there known problems with other typical GNU/Linux applications if I patch hostname?
* I have an existing QMail configuration. Would just renaming .qmail* to .courier* yield the same results as before, or are there other obstacles I should know about?
* What is it under /usr/courier/etc; some files are instead directories (aliases, esmtpacceptmailfor.dir, ...). Can *all* these configuration options be accesses either as a directory or a flat text file? Is there a consistent naming so I know which flat text file corresponds to which directory? Why do some seem to default to directories and others to text files?
Do I need to hash the directories and/or the text files? (Seems to me like at least aliases needs to be hashed.) If the flat file contradicts the directory information, which does courier actually use?
* I tried to migrate /var/qmail/aliases to /usr/local/courier/etc/aliasdir just by renaming .qmail* to .courier*. Is the location of my "aliasdir" directory correct, provided courier was ./configure'd with --prefix=/usr/local/courier ? I also removed(!) /usr/local/courier/etc/aliases with was installed by default.
I try to 'echo "To: postmaster" | /usr/local/courier/bin/sendmail' as in the installation instructions, but the log say:
Jun 26 14:07:00 localhost courierlocal: No such file or directory
What is it that is not found, and believed to be a file or a directory? courierlocal is currently running with UID 0.
* The start script, /usr/local/sbin/courier, seems to be binary. Why is this? Am I using the right file? (The documentation says "bin" instead of "sbin" but no such file exists.) I don't need UUCP, so can I tell courier not to start that daemon?
Thanks for a nice piece of code
