I have a rather peculiar problem. I am running Cyrus 2.0.16_1 under FreeBSD along with Postfix. Every seems to run fine EXCEPT that I have a few problem imap accounts. Here is what happens:
1. I create imap accounts named rexdev01..rexdev05 2. I add them to our virtual domains as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on Now, here is the weird part. If I email the accounts once then the email goes through. However, any subsequent emails to them fail with "status=deferred (temporary failure)" from Postfix/Cyrus. I've tried deleted and readding the accounts, but the problem persist. One email-works. More emails-fails. Now, here are the details. First, an example account: mars.example.com> lm user.rexdev03 user.rexdev03 mars.example.com> lam user.rexdev03 rexdev03 lrswipcda Now, let's try emailing it. Note, no emails have been sent to this box yet. Okay, the messages are stored in /var/spool/imap/user. So, let's check the user's mail: mars# ll ./rexdev03 total 3 -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 4 Apr 9 19:18 cyrus.cache -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 167 Apr 8 12:02 cyrus.header -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 56 Apr 9 21:25 cyrus.index Now, let's shoot off an email: mars# echo "testing your email account; this is the system administrator; please ignore!" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] The mail goes through, per Postfix: Apr 9 22:36:55 mars postfix/pickup[23810]: DA76760E06: uid=0 from=<root> Apr 9 22:36:55 mars postfix/cleanup[26079]: DA76760E06: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Apr 9 22:36:55 mars postfix/qmgr[68938]: DA76760E06: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=311, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Apr 9 22:36:55 mars postfix/pipe[26082]: DA76760E06: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=cyrus, delay=1, status=sent (mail.example.com) And we have contact: mars# ll ./rexdev03 total 4 -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 415 Apr 9 22:36 7. -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 588 Apr 9 22:36 cyrus.cache -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 167 Apr 8 12:02 cyrus.header -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 108 Apr 9 22:36 cyrus.index But let's try that again.. mars# echo "testing your email account; this is the system administrator; please ignore!" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Postfix failed: Apr 9 22:37:41 mars postfix/pickup[23810]: 5521660E06: uid=0 from=<root> Apr 9 22:37:41 mars postfix/cleanup[26079]: 5521660E06: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Apr 9 22:37:41 mars postfix/qmgr[68938]: 5521660E06: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=367, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Apr 9 22:37:41 mars postfix/pipe[26082]: 5521660E06: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=cyrus, delay=0, status=deferred (temporary failure) No mail: mars# ll ./rexdev03 total 4 -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 415 Apr 9 22:36 7. -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 588 Apr 9 22:36 cyrus.cache -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 167 Apr 8 12:02 cyrus.header -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 108 Apr 9 22:36 cyrus.index I'm actually a bit stumped here.
