The same here: - AIX 5.2, - xlC 6, - uwimap and qpopper in production and - dovecot for testing. > I am cleaning up on some left-over loose ends, one of them being > quotas/plugins, and I have some questions about your page with > AIXPluginsSupport on which I'd appreciate your assistance and comments. > > 1) I use AIX filesystem quota on the Inbox and folders, though the > indices are in a separate un-quota-ed filesystem.. a) Do you use Dovecot > with AIX FS quotaing or know of someone with experience? > b) What do you get out of FS quotaing?

I'm usually using bash because of it's performance. You may try this: # CONFIG_SHELL=bash time bash ./configure # time ./configure > 3) I gather you use Gnu gcc; do you know of any problems/benefits with > using the IBM compiler? > I'm using xlc and dovecot-cc depends on it. I've haven't use gcc on AIX for years :-) So in my opinion a common problem with xlc (or better xlc and AIX) is the shared object handling. Libtool seems to fix most of the problems. I've mentioned this in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-March/021247.html > Thanks in advance........S. > Regards, Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.
