Hello Thanks for replying. yes I've tried user/j.smith. It seems to work with altnamespace = yes If I remember (I'm not on that machine now). But only inconsistently. I was successful only once, then the same messages starting cropping up for the 2nd and 3rd users... ?!!
I setup a mock isp mail server with dns/postfix for etrn-only mail spooling for occasional retrival, and a "customer" postfix setup with squirrelmail and cyrus for endusers.., phew! As an linuxfromscratch.org and FreeBSD user who can consider myself an advanced power user , I've to say Thank god for proprietory paid products!! A simple task like creating usernames bogging me down when I'm a person who can cut custom fedora distros... is it open-source or CMU cyrus development team that sucks? !! I don't know anymore... but I will always recommend xchange or lotus notes from today on...I will only recommend opensource for email gateways etc from now on.... never for end-user applications - I swear it. I think I'll switch to MailDIR/ format mailbox and junk cyrus. (and preach hatred against cyrus imap.. ) Thanks for your time On 9/2/05, Ken Murchison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gobbledegeek wrote: > > > Hello > > I've struggling with this for hours now... > > I pit unixheirarchysep = yes in my imapd.conf. > > Is the above just a typo in your email, or is it also spelled > incorrectly in imap.conf? > > > > I'm still unable to create user.name in cyradm. > > The message I get is either invalid mailbox name or permission denied... > > > > I tried both user/user.name (invalid mailbox..) and user.user.name > > (permission denied) for ex: user.j.smith .. no luck > > It should be user/j.smith > > > -- > Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd. > Software Engineer 2495 Main St. - Suite 401 > 716-604-0088 x26 Buffalo, NY 14214 > --PGP Public Key-- http://www.oceana.com/~ken/ksm.pgp > -- Nonchalantly yours GobbledeGeek [Every thing but Gobbledegook.. !!] ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
