Check this out... Thanks to Kevin's help I now have seperate IMAP processes
using seperate interfaces and seperate mail directories. As such I can have
the same username in multiple domains. It's very beatiful.
But I do have one problem. First let me explain the setup:
in cyrus.conf:
imap-m1
cmd="imapd -C /etc/cyrus/mail1.conf" listen="mail1.ourdomain.com:imap"
prefork=1
... repeat for imaps and pop3s...
imap-m2 cmd="imapd -C /etc/cyrus/mail2.conf"
listen="mail2.ourdomain.com:imap" prefork=1
Then I have files that are just different imap.conf files in /etc/cyrus called
mail1.conf and mail2.conf with all the regular attributes changing:
configdirectory: /var/imap/mail1
partition-default: /var/spool/imap/mail1
servername: mail1.ourdomain.com
and similar for mail2.conf
I then did:
# su cyrus
$ tools/mkimap /etc/cyrus/mail1.conf
$ tools/mkimap /etc/cyrus/mail2.conf
and it setup all the dirs. I then did all the chmods and chattrs as necessary
to /var/imap/mail1 mail2, and the spool dirs.
I then used saslpasswd to create a cyrus user with realm "mail1..." and
"mail2..." with different passwords. I then checked with:
imtest -a cyrus -u cyrus -p imap mail1
imtest -a cyrus -u cyrus -p imap mail2
to check that they can only authenticate with the right password to the right
instance of the server. Works.
Then I tried to create a mailbox:
# su cyrus
$ cyradm mail1
Please enter your password:
mail1> cm test
createmailbox: System I/O error
Anyone know why I can't create mailboxes?? All directories have the
appropriate mods and ownerships.
PS. I'll be writing a howto on this when I'm done
PPS. Our domain has been changed because for whatever reason my higher ups
don't like me using our company name when getting discussing software we use
on public mailing list - I'm using my personal email address =)
