I'm playing around with murder in a test environment. I have an existing standalone cyrus server which I have converted into a backend server, a frontend server, and a mupdate master server (all separate boxes).

The problem I'm seeing is that the mailbox list being pushed to the mupdate master contains only the backend's short hostname, not the fully qualified hostname. Here is an example:

user.aabya      mail1!default   aabya   lrswipcda

This is a problem when I try to connect through the frontend server because it is unable to resolve "mail1" to the backend server's hostname.

I checked /etc/hosts and sure enough I had "mail1" listed as 127.0.0.1. I fixed it like so:

127.0.0.1       localhost
128.193.4.128   mail1.onid.oregonstate.edu      mail1


Then I restarted cyrus on the backend, blew away the mailboxes.db on the mupdate master, and pushed the changes to the mupdate server again. However, I still see just "mail1" in the mupdate server and the frontend still fails to resolve the name "mail1" and find the mailbox.

Any suggestions on how I can the backend to push the fully qualified name out to the mupdate server?

Thanks,
        Andy
