Problem with cyrus and "virtdomains" option
Hi to all, I'm sorry but I'm very newbie with cyrus. I've installed "cyrus-imapd-2.2.0.a" and "cyrus-sasl-2.1.13_2" on a FreeBSD 5.0 server with "Sendmail 8.12.6p2/8.12.6" I've got problems with virtual domains :( If I have this maiboxes: -- localhost.domain.it> lm user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] user/marco.pizzi -- with testdomain.it in the sendmail.cw file (local-host-names file) and with sendmail.cf modified as follow: Mcyrusv2, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqXzA@/:|m, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\n, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=FILE /usr/local/etc/imap/socket/lmtp I've got the following error: Jun 16 10:29:07 pe2650 sm-mta[1172]: h5G8T71n001172: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=394, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200306160829.h5G8T7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.test.it [127.0.0.1] Jun 16 10:29:07 pe2650 sendmail[1171]: h5G8T7xf001171: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=marcolin (102/20), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:0 0:00, mailer=relay, pri=30048, relay=localhost.test.it.

Fwd: Problem with cyrus and "virtdomains" option
Hello again, It looks like that sendmail strips away the domain of the receiver when it is recognized as local. Have you ever encountered this problem? Thanks again. >Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 10:49:48 +0200 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From: Marco Pizzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Problem with cyrus and "virtdomains" option > >Hi to all, > >I'm sorry but I'm very newbie with cyrus. >I've installed "cyrus-imapd-2.2.0.a" and "cyrus-sasl-2.1.13_2" on a >FreeBSD 5.0 server with "Sendmail 8.12.6p2/8.12.6" > I've got problems with virtual domains :( >If I have this maiboxes: > >-- >localhost.domain.it> lm >user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] >user/marco.pizzi >-- > >with testdomain.it in the sendmail.cw file (local-host-names file) > > >and with sendmail.cf modified as follow: > >Mcyrusv2, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqXzA@/:|m, >S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\n, >T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, >A=FILE /usr/local/etc/imap/socket/lmtp > >I've got the following error: > >Jun 16 10:29:07 pe2650 sm-mta[1172]: h5G8T71n001172: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, >size=394, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200306160829.h5G8T7 >[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.test.it [127.0.0.1] >Jun 16 10:29:07 pe2650 sendmail[1171]: h5G8T7xf001171: [EMAIL PROTECTED], >ctladdr=marcolin (102/20), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:0 >0:00, mailer=relay, pri=30048, relay=localhost.test.it.

In the /var/imap/db directory of my email server I noticed several backup files: __db.001 __db.002 __db.003 __db.004 __db.005 log.01 mailbox.dump I figure I may use these files to restore messages in mailboxes. But I couldn't find any documentation as to how these files are created and how I could use them to restore mailboxes. Anyone can give me some ideas how they work or point me to some resources where I can get to know how? Best Regards, Daniel Qian

Can't delete old folders from before ALTNAMESPACE
Hey All, One of our users has the following folders listed in his account: user/joe/INBOX/A =D (\HasChildren) user/joe/INBOX/A =D/Accounts (\HasNoChildren) These folders don't exist because the were remnants of our mail system before we turned on ALTNAMESPACE. The problem is that when I try to delete the folder in cyradm or in outlook, cyrus just returns errors. Any ideas? Thanks, Lee

Re: Can't delete old folders from before ALTNAMESPACE
You should be able to delete these from within cyradm as an admin, unless somebody deleted stuff by hand from the filesystem. I think that might be the problem. When i try to SAM the folders pre-deletion in cyradm, i get a: setaclmailbox: admin: lcp: System I/O error Is there a way to force remove cyrus' internal list of those folders?

If you deleted them without Cyrus knowing about it, your best bet is to take Cyrus down, dump the mboxlist (ctl_mboxlist -d >file.txt), edit the text version of the file to remove things that are no longer there, and then undump the mboxlist (ctl_mboxlist -u -f file.txt), and then bring everything up.

Re: Can't delete old folders from before ALTNAMESPACE
I created the directories spool/imap/user/joe/INBOX and INBOX/A =D and INBOX/A =D/Accounts, then i ran recontruct -R on user/joe, but that just returned the following errors: user.joe.INBOX.A =D: System I/O error Bad file descriptor user.joe.INBOX.A =D.Accounts: System I/O error Bad file descriptor This is odd since we're using the / as the directory seperator not "." (which we used to use a long time ago). BTW i also tried creating and reconstructing two top level directory folders spool/imap/user.joe.INBOX.A =D and spool/imap/user.joe.INBOX.A =D .Accounts, but it didn't change the error I recieved when running reconstruct. Any other ideas?

Re: Can't delete old folders from before ALTNAMESPACE
Lee wrote: Will this cause any problems with seen / unseen flags (or anything for that matter)? Seen flags are kept in a different database, under /var/imap/user/X/user.seen. I presume Cyrus gracefully deals with nonexistent folders in the seen/sub files, but I haven't looked at that part of the code so conceivably that might be a problem. If you want to be sure, restore the missing directories from backup and delete them the proper way though Cyrus. -- John A.

Re: Cyrus on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
[OT: Yes, I'm aware that there other other Linuces beyond RH, but we're committed to HP hardware which is only certified for RH and SuSE (one of my colleagues has been told by an HP engineer that they support Debian but I've yet to see anything official). We have zero SuSE experience in-house, so RH kind of have us by the danglies...] That sounds depressingly like you're talking about MS or some custom software vendor, not Red Hat. The price of successful business, I guess. *sigh* Craig Ringer
Problem logging into sieveshell
Hello all: I am trying to get the sieve vacation thing working. However, sieveshell seems to be unable to log me in. I never get a fail message, it just asks me for a password 4 times then fails. I am of course able to log directly into the imap server via telnet hostname.com imap and then login. Is it possible to enable sieve scripts without using sieveshell? Or, does anybody have an idea about failing to log into sieveshell? Thanks, Jim

Anyway I am more concerned about a proper way to backup all my mailbox messages. It seems to me that I can backup the content under these directories: /var/imap ; where my mailboxes.db resides /var/spool/imap/user ; suppose I only care about the messages already in user mailboxes So even on a newly installed empty system resulted from a system crash I would still be able to recover everything in mailboxes simply by copying back these backup files to where they are before the crash and run a reconstruct. Correct me if I am missing anything. Thanks for reply -- Best Regards, Daniel Qian
Emails change formatting by themselves (when going through cyrus)
Hi,
I'm trying to track down the root cause of a weird issue that I think
Cyrus is linked to somehow. I'm hoping somebody here might of heard of
something similar or have some suggestions on this as it has me baffled.
To put it briefly rich HTML mail going through Cyrus in one server I
have seems to change colour during delivery (e.g. sent from client PC as
black and arrives as lime green) or else certain spaces vanish
leaving the email looking like;
HiBob,
Howis it going?
Itis good here. We arehaving good fun...
(And it is not just typos, I've sent several emails that have been
confirmed as typed ok that have arrived like this.)
The server that is doing this is built as follows;
Fetchmail gets pop3 mail from ISP
|
Exim recieves mail and passes it through RAV antivirus
|
If virus free it depending on exim settings is passed to qpopper or cyrus .
|
Cyrus recieves the mail via the 'deliver' command and places it in the
user's inbox.
|
The client PC uses the InsightConnector plugin for Outlook to connect it
to Cyrus with better IMAP support than default Outlook.
(running Debian 3.0, Linux kernel 2.2.20 with the latest version of
Cyrus if that makes any difference)
The thing that makes me think it is related to Cyrus is that users who
get their mail through qpopper rather than cyrus don't have these
issues. (Exim under our setup can delivers certain email to qpopper, the
reast to cyrus) (Yes I know that leaves the IMAP plugin as well but I've
already looked heavilly into it with their technical support and no
leads there yet.)
The real weird thing is that I build this server using a series of
custom debian packages and scripts that I've written (we have several of
these servers) and every other server built with them has not had this
issue - the email system works perfectlly for them.
The exim transport setup used for delievery is
local_delivery:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver ${local_part}"
return_path_add
return_output
prefix = ""
user = cyrus
If you want anymore technical details about the setup please ask away.
If anybody has any ideas as to anything that could be wrong with my
setup I'd be eternally greatful...

Sieve scripts are stored in the config directory, which on my system is: /var/lib/imap/sieve///
