I realise that MBOX format means that we also have to escapes lines
that starting with "From " --> ">From ". So much for speed since
this will imply reading line by line.

mbx_pop.c : Some bug fixes, connection is close down if the client
is trying to seek() backward.

folder_imap.c mbx_imap.c : Unfinish business, but getting better.

stream.c : Don't force a flush on close, let the underlying implementatio
do that.

the POP3 definition.

opening.

imap_message_uid().

header of the first message, "X-IMAPbase: 127673838 123", a la c-client.
Save UID, it is save in "X-UID".
* mailbox/mbx_pop.c : Implement pop_messages_recent(),
pop_message_unseen() and pop_uid().
* mailbox/trans_stream.c : Indentation fixes.

is known, we can use memcpy() and friends for string manipulations.
memXXX() functions are builtin in GNU C (gcc) and are much faster
then the strXXX() counterparts. Small change in the loop to take
advantage of this.

* pop3d/quit.c : The rfc1939 insist that after a QUIT, we must
release any resources and close the connection:
"Whether the removal was successful or not, the server
then releases any exclusive-access lock on the maildrop
and closes the TCP connection."  This was not done if error
occured while expunging, no we will close the connection and
notify the client of the error(ERR_FILE).

* mailbox/mbx_mbox.c: When expunging check to see if the registar
the path_record too.

header_get_fvalue()

Alain Magloire authored 2001-02-01 04:23:26 +0000

header.c mbx_mboxscan.c mbx_mbox.c : an other attempt for speed
when parsing, the most common use headers (From, To, Date, CC,..)
are save in the structure, so when retrieve them it will be
faster.  Downside the tight parsing loop is not so thight and
is frankly ugly.  More memory is being use per messages.
It is hard to guess at this stage the memory patterns
and where to optimise, probably my last attempt at this
before the code become truly unmaintable.

mbx_imap.c mailbox.c : I did not understand the difference between
"recent" and "unseen" english words.  I think that "unseen"
means new mail, an "recent" mail that was not read yet.
So I had to rename some functions mailbox_recent_count()
to mailbox_unseen_count(), but I maybe wrong ... sigh
somebody with better english skill should explain this
to me.

mbx_pop.c include/header0.h include/mailbox0.h :
Introduce header_set_fill() to let the mailboxes fill
up a buffer that will contains the entire headers.

* pop3d/pop3d.c : Remove mbox_record register, only need path_record.
* pop3d/retr.c : When retrieve a message should be mark as read.
since we do not strip out the header "Status:".
* pop3d/top.c : Adjust stream_readline().

up when expunging.

best BUFSIZ i.e. remove setbuf() call.

mapfile_stream.c mbx_imap.c mbx_mbox.c mbx_pop.c : go easy on the stack

Alain Magloire authored 2001-01-25 05:08:41 +0000

was doing the equivalent of:

char buffer[1024];
memset (buffer, 0, 1024);
...
read (popfd, buffer, 1024);
...
ret = malloc (strlen (buffer) +1);

According to the rfc a command line should be no longer then
255 but a malicious client could send a big buffer that could fit
1024 then buffer would not be null terminated, strlen(buffer) may
be supceptible to overflow.  A simple fix would be to
read (fd, buffer, 1023); /* leave space for a null */
I've put a different fix that does not need the call to memset().
And at the same time reduce the size of the buffer to  go
easy on the stack 512 is sufficient.

pop: STAT remove excess comment.
pop: user use the /dev/null scheme if mailbox does not exist.
mailbox: buglet if the mailbox format we were reading less then expected.
