I'm cross-posting this back to the list so that others will know of this fix if they have the same problem (I haven't seen it come up before).

What is Cyrus doing with /var/imap/db?
Could someone explain what Cyrus-IMAP does with /var/imap/db? I upgraded to the latest Cyrus-IMAP 2.0.16 RPMs (for Red Hat) and everything seems to work fine. I have been testing this IMAP server setup with the intention of deploying it in the indeterminate future. The largest test account has less than 100 short emails on this machine. But I just noticed that there is currently a file /var/imap/db/__002.db that is 11MB in size. Other smaller __nnn.db files are also present. But why should there be a file this huge in a system that cannot possibly have more than 1 MB of emails? What is it for? What does that say about disk usage when this machine has to support thousands of emails? I wish Cyrus-IMAP was a little better documented. Chris

Sendmail Queuing
Is anyone out there (besided CMU) who has implemented a split queue approach to delivering email? What I am talking about is this: 1) You have the default sendmail server in queue-only delivery mode. Any messages coming to the server are simply queued and that is it. 2) You have a cron job that moves messages out of the mail queue and into a slow queue if the messages are older than some age limit. You then process the rest of the messages with "sendmail -q". The cron job probably runs often, maybe once every 2 minutes or so. 3) You have another cron job that processes the slow mail queue with "sendmail -q" considerably less often, maybe once an hour or once every 2 hours. Is anyone running a similar process? We are curious what experiences others might have had using this setup.

Re: What is Cyrus doing with /var/imap/db?
Hmm, interesting question about its actual use, and I can't give you much info on that, but FYI I've got about 400MB of email in 32,000 messages currently sitting on Cyrus 2.0.15.

Tarjei The cysrus-ldap-sasl FAQ. The Faq handles these topics: - Use and setup of the fabulas and famous Cyrus Imapd server - Setup (use no problem) of the infamous but very nice cyrus-sasl package. - Use of ldap in this combination. For those wondering. This FAQ is written because Ken Murchinson demanded someone actually do something about the situation. I am happy for anyone who proofreads this faq. Q 1: Death by 11 nr I The errormessage "imapd was signaled to death by 11" has stopped many from getting ingto cyrus. There are two reasons for this problem: ** Your db3 libs are fxxxed. Make sure that cyrus can find your libs. If you are on rh. make sure that you got the latest rpm's, AND then recompile and reinstall the cyrus-sasl rpms like this: (get cyrus-sasl.src.rpm from your rh cd og rh ftp site). rpm -i cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-n.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpm -ba cyrus-sasl.spec cd ../RPMS/i386 rpm -i --force cyrus-sasl* thus cyrus imapd and sasl is installed with the same libs. Then look below for the rest of the instalation. Q 2. Death by 11 nr II "Ok the db's are ok. still I am having problems". You are using pam-ldap & openldap 2.0.x for authentication, right? Ok. Bad idea. The reason is that OL2 also uses the sasl libs. Thus when you try to auth to the openldap server you get a reentrant crisis (or that was what the people who know what they are doing called it on the maillinglist). Here's basicly what happens: your client -> imap -> sasl -> pam-ldap (or any other) -> sasl -> openldap ok. Se sasl twice? Sasl does not like t be used twice (Oh! What a consumer society! ,) so what you do is drop the pam part. There are a few patches for this, they let sasl authenticate dircetly to db, ldap mysql and a couple of other places you might feel to save your userdata. I use the one forund here: www.surf.org.uk others say this one is better: You will find a SASL patch under http://www.matuschek.net/software/sasl-patch This patch contains support for PostgreSQL, LDAP, BerkeleyDB and a special authentification server. Q.3 Sasl-ldap and SSL Ok. I'm using the ldap-sasl patch. Woha that was a breeze! Now how do I encrypt the transport between the imap server and the ldap server? Can someone answer thisone? Q.4 Where can I find some more documentation on admining cyrus? Here: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html#92594 Q.5 How do I take backup of cyrus? Heres a script I ripped from the maillinglist (and made some changes on to backup ldap too): Note: I sugges using postfix -> it's better! #!/bin/sh # sauve-imap.sh # stop servers /etc/rc.d/init.d/cyrus stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap stop /usr/sbin/slapcat > /tmp/ldap.ldif # start ldap. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap start #tar IMAP /bin/tar cvzf /backup/var-imap.tgz /var/imap/ /bin/tar cvzf /backup/spool-imap.tgz /var/spool/imap/ # tar conf and ldap files directly to mounted nis dir.

The program mbxcvt does exactly what you >want...I hacked my copy to allow for copying to an existing mailbox---the >default is that it wont... Note: The author could not manage to do it this way ;) Q.7 how do I list the quotausage for all my users? su cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/quota you'll get a listing. You can also do: sudo -u cyrus '/usr/cyrus/bin/quota' Q.8 Outlook issue Thanks for that. For anybody checking the archives, when I reconstructed the Cyrus server, for some reason a Drafts and Sent folder were created at the root of the folder tree, with permissions "anyone lrs". I actually had the folders INBOX.Drafts and INBOX.Sent set up and with the correct permissions on them, but OE tries to do a trick where it attempts to saved sent messages direct to "Sent" instead of "INBOX.Sent", as it assumes that "Sent" is a subfolder of INBOX by default. The solution is to blow away the Sent and Drafts folders from the root of the directory tree, and OE behaves itself quite nicely again, with calls to "Sent" automatically going

hello, i'm setting up an cyrus imap server on a linux server running redhat 7.1 and i'm running into a snag. so far things have gone as well as can be expected, the server is up and running and talking to sendmail. i've created a test user mailbox, user.test and i'm able to connect to this mailbox using passwd (NIS+) for authentication. i'm able to run cyradm -u cyrus localhost and admin the mailboxes. when i try deleting mailboxes i'm getting permission denied. i know that i have to set explicit delete perm for the admin users, which i did with setaclmailbox cyrus cyrus d; permission on both /var/imap and /var/spool/imap are good: drwxr-x--- 11 cyrusmail 4096 Aug 14 11:26 /var/imap/ drwxr-x---5 cyrusmail 4096 Aug 14 16:22 /var/spool/imap/ i'm getting the following in the imapd.log when i try and delete Aug 14 17:33:32 seawolf imapd[29212]: myfetch: starting txn 2147483795 Aug 14 17:33:32 seawolf imapd[29212]: abort_txn: aborting txn 2147483795 at this point i'm unsure of where to go next. everything i've seen on the net points to permission problems but that's not it. i compiled the code from source also. also, when i run cyradm it tries to authentice to DIGEST-MD5, not passwd as i have imapd configured. why is that? -- Darin Perusich Unix Administrator Cognigen Corp.

It should have a built-in library search path that includes the directory where the SSL libraries are installed. You can look at the needed libraries and the run path with `dump -Lv imapd'. When you configure Cyrus, it sets the run path to /usr/local/lib. You can either install the dynamic libraries there, or rebuild Cyrus with a different run path. One way to dos this is: env LDFLAGS="-R/usr/local/whatever" ./configure -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
Re: libssl.so.0
Thanks it looks like the Solais package instlls into /usr/local/ssl for some backward comaptability reason so using you suggestion helped thanks. Have you seen this before, I can run "saslpasswd -u cyrus" to add a password for the admin cyrus and it accepts a new password however if I run cyradm after setting up user cyrus password I get the following : cyradm -u cyrus localhost cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as cyrus Am I missing something obious? Sorry I am kinda burned this has been a rather painful undertaking. Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > chirs charter writes: > > > >I just installed Cyrus 2.0.16. on Solaris 8 and I > am > >getting the following error when testing > > > >catfish# telnet localhost 143 > >Trying 127.0.0.1... > >Connected to localhost. > >Escape character is '^]'. > >ld.so.1: imapd: fatal: libssl.so.0: open failed: No > >such file or directory > >Connection closed by foreign host. > > > >I have openssl installed 0.9.6 in: > >/usr/local/ssl > > This sounds like cyrus imapd is built incorrectly. > It should > have a built-in library search path that includes > the directory > where the SSL libraries are installed.

More Re: libssl.so.0
Here is the othe strange thing wich is more than likely related: saslpasswd -c cyrus Then I get this error: Aug 14 18:10:21 catfish saslpasswd[29902]: failed to set plaintext secret for cy rus: requested change was not needed Can't find much in the archives about this. My /etc/imapd.conf looks like the following: catfish# cat /etc/imapd.conf configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /opt/data/mailstore admins: cyrus sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb autocreatequota:1 Thanks --- chirs charter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks it looks like the Solais package instlls into > /usr/local/ssl for some backward comaptability > reason > so using you suggestion helped thanks.

"sticky" cyradm and quota
I got a weird problem here and I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced similar problems. My current config is 2.0.16 / RH 7.1 / 2.4.3-12 kernel Once in a while, when a user goes to copy a message from their Inbox to a subfolder, it locks their IMAP session, After closing the mail client (Webmail or Netscape Messenger), when they log back in, now they cannot delete any messages in any of their folders, and, in addition, they cannot write to any folders under their account. Furthermore, Postfix starts deferring mail because it cannot write to the users Inbox either. No problem I figure - run a reconstruct or a quota fix and everything should be fine. Not exactly - when you run the reconstruct, it will pause indefinitely on the folder where the message they were trying to copy was located. The only way to have reconstruct continue is if I manually delete the cyrus.cache, cyrus.header, and the cyrus.index in this folder and restart the reconstruct command. Now it will continue past this folder until it gets to the folder where the message was getting copied into. Once again, I need to delete the cyrus.cache, cyrus.header, and the cyrus.index in this folder, and restart reconstruct. When reconstruct successfully completes, the user still sees the same problems deleting mail and Postfix still cannot deliver. It is almost as if Cyrus, or some other process, has a "lock" on the account. The only way to rectify the problem is to restart the master process, which wouldn't be a problem if everyone else didn't get kicked off of the system when you do. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks -John
Re: mailbox deletion
Darin, The 'c' right is overloaded for deletion of a mailbox. I usually set the ACL to 'cdwa' for the cyrus user, but 'c' should be all that's necessary. Give me a call tomorrow if you still have problems.

moving to Cyrus
Hello all It seemes I have successfully installed Cyrus on my test system. Before I do it on my working system I need to know what problems may encounter when moving to Cyrus mailer on system with about 300 standard users ,whose mail is lying in /var/spool/mqueue /var/spool/mail etc. Should I create every user and set his password([quota]) manually, or there is a way to do it easier and automatically , taking usernames and their passwords from the passwd & shadow ? And , of course, it's necessary to move messages in their old mailboxes to the new ones. Regards, andrei
