is there no good books about cyrus administration?

Not that I've seen. The O'Reilly IMAP book is good, but it was already outdated when published w.r.t. Cyrus.

Ok thanks!

I already tried to set createonpost without autocreatequota: -1 and it
didn't work...
I'll try with "autocreatequota: -1"

Thanks for help.
(any reference for a good book?)

also meanwhile,
(I'm on RedHat ES 4, postfix+imap up to date)

i'm getting an error while trying to get mail from a new account :
'Mailbox does not exists'.
So i've made some googling and  found that cyrus doesn't create
mailbox by default(soooo strange) and you need a patch...

So i've tried
cyradm -u cyrus localhost

it ask a password i don't have. (it's obviously not the root password)

So... Should I set a password for the cyrus user? I don't try because
the server is running and I don't want to break it.

This all depends on your configuration. The default on RHEL4 is to use
system accounts for auth, which means you have to set a password for unix
user cyrus. Then try

cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost


is this the correct way to do :

cyradm -u cyrus localhost
cm user.MYUSERNAME

This is correct. However, please note that usernames are case sensitive,
so maybe you want:

cm user.myusername

One more note:
The package shipped with RHEL4 contains the autocreate patches, so you can
set this in imapd.conf to let it create mailboxes for authenticated users
on the fly:

autocreatequota: -1
createonpost: yes

Simon


?

I've some perl script to generate my mail users, does any body have a
perl example that will do the same?

Thanks for Help,
Manson Thomas.

Hi,

i'm looking for a marvellous book about cyrus administration that
would be up to date, understandable and that make you have sweet
dreams about Cyrus :o)

Also, if I could buy it on amazon.fr, that would be nice :o)

Thanks,
Manson Thomas.
