I just wanted to check with this group and see if anybody uses the log directory under the cyrus config directory, in our case: /var/lib/imap/log
According to the documentation on the Cyrus website, you can create a directory with the same name as the user and it will record a telemetry log of protocl sessions. I have enabled this for a few users and and just trying to see how this could help me track down problems? Does anyone else use this feature
sometimes.
and if so, could you tell me a little about how you use this to help troubleshoot problems?
This is invaluable if you need to find out what's going on in cases where client and server don't agree about the protocol, mostly for IMAP. It lets you see the actual IMAP commands and responses. There was one instance where I have used it for POP, because one of our users couldn't login using CRAM-MD5. Using the telemetry I could see that the server had detected a protocol violation in the response to the challenge. The client only told our user that authentication had failed ...
