The 2.0 daemons run just fine against a (partially) 2.1 database. The only difference between 2.0 and 2.1 is the additional tables. All three core-tables: mailboxes, messages, messageblks are unchanged. So yes: starting the 2.1 dbmail-util process while still running the 2.0 daemons sounds like a good transitional policy. Just make sure you run dbmail-util again after starting the 2.1 daemons so all messages added after starting the first run are also converted. If you migrate to 2.1 but haven't yet run dbmail-util -by, pop and lmtp will work without a problem, but the imap daemon has come to depend on them being filled for fetch/search/sort. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
