Probably most people here can already guess most of the results (mbox does really badly and Maildir is generally good).

Courier-ldap authentification trouble
Hi, i cant get courier imap and ldap authentification to work and don't have any more ideas where to look. It seems as if courier doesn't even seem to try to contact the ldap server (ethereal shows no connection attempt). So i guess its a problem with my configuration. My authdaemonrc contains: authmodulelist="authldap" daemons=1 version="" authdaemonvar=/var/run/courier/authdaemon and authldaprc: LDAP_SERVER nase.motakef.de LDAP_PORT 389 LDAP_BASEDN ou=vdomains, dc=motakef, dc=de # Tried with the next two comment or not. #LDAP_BINDDNcn=admin, ou=People, dc=motakef, dc=de #LDAP_BINDPWsecret LDAP_TIMEOUT5 LDAP_AUTHBIND 0 # also tried 1 LDAP_MAIL mail LDAP_GLOB_UID vmail LDAP_GLOB_GID vmail LDAP_HOMEDIRhomeDirectory LDAP_MAILDIRmailMessageStore LDAP_CLEARPWuserPassword in imapd: AUTHMODULES="authldap" ps ax | grep authdaemon: 707 ?S 0:00 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.ldap start 708 ?S 0:00 /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.ldap start The logfiles do not contain any useful information. Is there any way to better debug what courier is trying to do? Any obvious errors above? Thanks, Ramin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If it's not proprietary, I'd like to take a peek at what you were considering (notes etc.). Ideally I'd like to be able to parse the MTA and popper logs, generate a model for users/traffic and then test systems with the typical load * some multiple. Seems tricky because one might also need to simulate slow dial-up connections and such. cheers, BM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
