RE: howto for RH7?

Password policy: Cyrus+pam_smb_auth on Solaris 8
Perhaps I have the answer of my previous message sent to the list. For the password management I can use our NT4 PDC... I reconfigured cyrus-sasl with the following options: ./configure --with-dblib=berkeley --disable-gssapi --disable-krb4 --with-pam=/usr/lib/security -disable-digest And I reconfigured cyrus-imapd this way, adding the --with-pwcheck=pam option: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cyrus --with-auth=unix --with-pwcheck=pam --without-krb --enable-netscapehack --with-ucdsnmp=/usr/local/snmpd --with-dbdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.2 --with-sasldir=/usr/local --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl Then I compiled and installed pam_smb_auth v.1.1.6 and I copied it under /usr/lib/security as pam_smb_auth.so.1 (linked in the same directory also as pam_smb_auth.so).

Re: Cyrus 2.0.14 on Linux and signal 11
Hi everyone, I also run into signal 11. But it happens when I try to access the mailserver through imap only. imapd gets signaled to death by 11, when I connect to it with a "fresh" imap-client, that is, a client which has no information about the folder structure yet. I only have one client, that is a w2k with netscape, that can access the imap server without any problems, but this client was configured over a year ago and knows the folder structure. Other users can access their mails through pop3 without any problems. I also have another user who uses an outlook mailclient with imap and he can also download his mails without any problems, but his folder structure is also known for over a year. I saw that many of the processes, which are invoked by master, can have a -d option for debug. But unfortunately imapd does not seem to have such an option. I'd like to know what happens there since I really want to access my mails from another client (which is linux), but imapd dies in the moment any "fresh" client (mozilla, netscape, evolution) looks up for mail folders. Do you have any suggestions? I am positive that the hardware is okay, I tested it and especially the server's RAM last week for over 48h and the server is in production for month now, so I assume it has to do something with cyrus.

Even though the Sieve spec allows CR/LF in quoted strings, the cmu-sieve parser eats them. I'm pretty sure that I know how to fix this to solve the vacation problem that you're seeing, but I'm not sure what the side effects would be for the rest of the parser, so I'm hesitant to make the change. My suggestion would be to have Websieve use the multi-line string form (see section 2.4.2 of RFC3028) for the vacation response text. This is exactly what the multi-line form was designed for, and IMHO it make the scripts easier to read.

Re: Re[2]: Archiving mailboxes
The Bat!'s support of IMAP isn't all that great, unfortunately (at least when I tried it a few months ago). I've tried it, Mulberry, Netscape, Outlook Express, Eudora, Calypso, and a few others whose names I can't remember. None of them offer the feature I'm interested in (configurable auto archiving of folders). On another note, the only MUA I've found that supports the IMAP servers my ISPs use and supports filtering into IMAP folders is Netscape. I don't think Netscape is a great MUA, but it's the only the that does everything. Mulberry looked promising, but it ran into errors just trying to read my inbox (plus it was really slow). I don't know if this is an issue with the IMAP server implementation (Imail) or what, but both Netscape and OE can open the inbox okay. OE is okay if you have server-side filtering (which I do now).

Group ACLs
Hey everyone, I'm trying to setup some group ACLs in Cyrus where the group membership is defined by an LDAP server. Does anyone already have a patch that does this for 1.6.x? THX. -- Todd Nemanich [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Protecting the opulent and staging moral standard, They expect redemption of character and self growth" Bad Religion - Inner Logic
Suggested fixes
- Starting master in debug mode (-D), I noticed "imapd: illegal option -- s"
errors when IMAP SSL sessions were started. getopt in service.c is the cause
of this as it doesn't know of all the various options services accept.
Setting opterr = 0 seems like the easiest way of getting rid of the
(annoying ;) messages.
- Now that imapd reuses connections, it's probably worthwhile clearing the
imapd's process title after a client disconnects, otherwise it "appears" it
is still servicing the client in a ps listing.
(patches for suggested fixes attached)

Authentication problem
Greetings, I have a problem that I have been toiling with for quite some time now and thought I would present it to the list for any insight. I have Cyrus IMAP server version 2.0.12 running on Solaris 8. We are authenticating clients using plaintext and SASL 1.5.24 Our customer's application is connecting to the application from a Windows NT server using an IMAP DLL library provided by Quiksoft. (www.quiksoft.com). The application is configured to login to the server using the "cyproxy" userid. When looking at the log file imapd.log I see the application making a connection, but then it just immediately exists with status code 0.IMAPD never displays a message indicating that the "cyproxy" id was every authenticated. While performing my own testing I noticed that if I telnet to port 143 on the IMAP server and attempt to login with a bogus username / password that the IMAP server log file DOES NOT REFLECT the failed login attempt. So I don't know if the application is: A. Establishing a connection to port 143, but then not proceeding to try to authenticate by sending plaintext login/password. -- or - B. Establishing a connection, sending login/password information but receiving some type of error condition that is not being reflected properly in the imapd.log file. Does anyone have any advice on how to further debug this issue? Is there a way to increase the debug or logging level of the imapd server such that I can see what is occurring after connect on port 143? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank-you, Tim Powell
Re: Legal Characters in mailbox names
I feel that I should qualify this a little bit more. Yes, the following are valid mailbox name characters (as stated below): " +,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~" However, if you are sharing a mailbox and set it up for external delivery (i.e. anyone+post ability) and sendmail is your SMTP server, I find that capital letters and spaces are no longer permitted. So the list becomes: "+,-.0123456789:=@_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~" I haven't tried many of the others to see what happens. Keep in mind that this is sendmail's fault and not Cyrus! What happens is that all uppercase characters get folded into lowercase and all spaces get converted to periods before the message gets passed onto "deliver" or "lmtpd" for final delivery. Consequently, the mailbox is usually not found and the message arrives in your INBOX instead. I tried tracing this in sendmail, thinking that it was one of the rules in sendmail.cf that might be doing this. What I found was that when it left one rule (maybe the 6th rule? can't remember), the mailbox name was fine, with all the spaces and caps intact. However, *before* it got into the next rule, the name had changed, with everything in lowercase and spaces replaced by periods. I was amazed that it was done between sendmail rules and I can only guess it must be occuring in the source of sendmail itself. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Are there any work arounds? I can live without the uppercase characters, but I use spaces a lot in my mailbox names.

Here a short excerpt of the sendmail book (bat book): Preserve uppercase for username The username portion of the recipient's address is ordinarily converted to lowercase before being tucked into $u. The $u is usually used with the A= equate of a delivery agent: Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMeuP, S=10, R=20, A=sh -c $u Some delivery agents, such as the prog agent, execute programs. They require that the program (user) name be left as is (otherwise, the program name would not be found). Specifying the F=u flag tells sendmail to not convert that name to lowercase. Beginning with v8,7 sendmail, the F=u flag also determines how some aliases are treated. If it is set, usernames are stored in the aliases database without conversion to lowercase. If it is clear, they are converted to lowercase. Also if the F=u flag is set, looking up the owner part that follows the owner- in a mailing list is done in a case-sensitive manner. If the F=u flag is clear, the owner is converted to lowercase before being looked up. In general, the F=u flag should be set in all delivery agent declarations, except the local delivery agent. --- The last sentence tells you where to look. Normaly the F=u flag is not set at the local delivery agent. And this is your problem. Add the F=u flag to your local delivery agent (as I've done) and all user names stay case-sensitive. -- Theofilu Andreas http://members.aon.at/theofilu - Enjoy the science of Linux!

Cyrus Perl Modules authentication questions..
Hi Larry, I just have a couple questions regarding the Cyrus::IMAP::Admin and Cyrus::SIEVE::managesieve perl modules. They are so very much different in their implementations and I just have a couple of issues with them. The Imap module works fine in CGI applications for PLAIN or LOGIN authentication since I can send the password as a parameter but this does'nt work with DIGEST-MD5 or CRAM-MD5. The passwords dont get passed properly to the sasl library and I get an authentication error in the message log and the perl module gives me a "Virtual Memory exhausted at ...IMAP.pm line 125". Of course if I don't send the -password parameter to the authenticate procedure then SASL comes back, asks for the password and authenticates me fine. (which is'nt useful for non-console apps.). I still get the "virtual memory" error if I enter the wrong password. As to the managesieve module, it's a different story. I can pass the user, realm and password to the connection and get authenticated fine in DIGEST-MD5 BUT I cannnot select the mechanism of authentication. It is selected by the perl module according the Availability of the remote timsieved daemon. Two very different methods with their own sets of difficulties.. Just not sure why they were implemented so very differently. My question then is there a way using perl and the existing modules to pass all the authentication parameters to these modules to eliminate prompting for passwords? Hope I'm not asking for the impossible, just that this would make these modules so much more useful. I'd rather stick to using the facilities provided by Cyrus::Imap for all interfacing. Thanks..

It should! Your syslog setup may not be logging everything. Make sure you have local6.* in syslog.conf going somewhere. To be super-safe, you can log *.* to a file which is bound to get all Cyrus messages (and a whole lot more besides ;) > Does anyone have any advice on how to further debug this issue?

Run master like so: # CYRUS_VERBOSE=10 /path/to/master Also, versions of Cyrus > 2.0.12 have a -D switch for leaving stdout & stderr open to help debugging. Try running tcpdump/ethereal/etc. to capture the session log between the client and the server to see what's actually going on. Regards, -- Cillian
Restoring/Re-Inexing Mailboxes
Hello, I have deleted a subfolder of a mailbox using an imap client - which I have backed up before using plain tar. Now I try to restore the tarred mailbox, but somehow cyrus does not recognize it any more. So I guess I have missed to backup something from /var/imap (config directory). Still, is there a way to re-index a subfolder or the whole mailbox ? I tried to add user.test.subfolder to the test.seen file and I tried to re-create the subfolder using cyradm. Latter one brought back the folder (surprise ...) - but withouth the messages. Regards Klaus
