My rpms already do mailbox backups daily and rotate them through a week.
Have a look at /var/lib/imap/backup/ where you find mboxlist.gz,
mboxlist.1.gz...

It's not quite as critical as I originally thought (as the ACL
information _is_ stored somewhere else as well), but it can make
recovery from db corruption easier, and can make restoring to a
different machine a _lot_ less fuss. That said, I think Simon Matter's
RPM builds take care of making these backups for you anyway. According
to a recent post by Simon it makes backups in /var/lib/imap/backups - so
verify that they're there and look right, and you should be fine.

It's pretty similar to what I do. Though I use snapshots instead of
stopping the daemons, I'd /prefer/ to be able to just stop the daemons.
Unfortunately, my mail spools are growing - fast - and I have users who
keep weird hours (not least myself). At last check the gzipped backup
files were 3gb, from mail spools of 4.6GB. This would mean too much
downtime if I stopped the daemons, especially since I'm doing network
backups to (slow) tape.

IMHO the best way to make sure your backups are OK is to restore them.
Preferably to a test machine ;-) - ideally the one you'd be restoring to
if there was a hardware failure right now (and maybe another, different,
one as well). Alas, you're proabably in a situation like me - "what cold
spare?!?" - where this isn't possible. I did my restore testing on a
hapless debian 3.0 box - and this is why I'm so paranoid about
converting the mailboxes.db . Everything else about the restore went
perfectly, but it couldn't use the mailboxes.db because of a different
berkley db version. I'm very glad I learned that then, and not after a
server failure.

well I only need it for sasldb, thats why saslpoppass would be great.
the problem is it won't compile :-(
It was designed for sasl1.x and I'm have no clue about C, I fixed some
things but there still is some to be changed so it can compile.

imap-2.1.16 and berkeley db 4.2.52?

It should work assuming configure script can locate berkeley db 4.2.52.  I
have cyrus imapd 2.2 working with berkeley db 4.2.52.  I believe the
berkeley code in both versions of cyrus imap is the same.  You also need
to rebuild cyrus-sasl with the new berkeley db.

Correct. I just managed to do that (after changing configure and friends to
detect 4.2.x).

I had to change a few things in cyrusdb_db3.c, though, or else it wouldn't
compile. I'm still not sure if my environment is wrong or what. Some 
definitions seem to be gone in db 4.2's db.h. The patch I used is attached.

You can have procmail call the cyrus deliver program, but this is pretty
inefficient. (it costs a fork for procmail and a fork for deliver [which
just does an lmtp delivery], as opposed to just the re-use of an lmtpd
process)

Its almost always a better idea to use sieve.

[cyrus] Mail list subject line

[Alain Williams]

Would it be possible for the list administrator, to force the adding of
something like [cyrus] into the subject line for all mail reflected from this list ?

I get quite a lot of mail, other lists do this & I find it a useful way of
deciding what to read.

Thanks

Yes.  I failed to mention this.  This is a patch applied to cyrus-imapd
2.2 and it should work in 2.1.16.

Sieve vacation question : does :addresses match case-insensitively ?

[Etienne Goyer]

Hi,

Given the following script :


require "vacation";

vacation :days 1 :addresses "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" :subject "Some subject" 
"Just testing vacation, folks.
";


Does the :addresses parameter will be matched case insentively, meaning
that the vacation will also trigger for mail addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ?

Thanks !

Good question - the vacation spec is not clear on that. The RFC2821 spec 
actually says that the local part of an address (to the left of the @) is 
case-sensitive, whilst the domain part (to the right of the @) is not. Thus 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' are not the same. Of 
course it turns out that many implementations do treat those as the same, 
so there does need to be a way to handle that in vacation. The SIEVE 
base-spec gets around this by allowing comparisons (with either 
case-sensitive or case-insensitive comparators) against the local or domain 
part of an address separately if so desired. I will bring this matter up on 
the sieve list as it needs to be cleared up wrt vacation.

partial conversion to BDB 4.2.52?

[Andreas]

I just recompiled cyrus-imapd-2.1.16 and cyrus-sasl-2.1.15 with BDB 4.2
support and it seems to be working. Email is working, delivery, mail clients
ok, etc.

There is a small odd thing, though. /var/lib/imap/db seems to still be at
BDB 4.1, while the rest is at 4.2 (/var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db, for example):

pandora [/var/lib/imap] > db4.2_archive -al
/var/lib/imap/log.01

pandora [/var/lib/imap/db] > db4.2_archive -al
db_archive: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version
db_archive: Ignoring log file: log.01: unreadable log version 7
/var/lib/imap/db/log.01
/var/lib/imap/db/log.02


db_archive from BDB 4.1 works in /var/lib/imap/db:

pandora [/var/lib/imap/db] > db4.1_archive -al
/var/lib/imap/db/log.01

pandora [/var/lib/imap/db] > db4.1_archive -as
/var/lib/imap/deliver.db
/var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db


And does not work in /var/lib/imap:

pandora [/var/lib/imap] > db4.1_archive -al
db_archive: Ignoring log file: log.01: unsupported log version 8
db_archive: Invalid log file: log.01: Invalid argument
db_archive: PANIC: Invalid argument
db_archive: PANIC: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
db_archive: open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery


I know the transaction log file format has changed, so db_archive from 4.1
shouldn't work, that's ok. What bothers me is that the database environment
in /var/lib/imap/db is still at BDB 4.1. Even after archiving all the log files
and shutting the server down (so that /var/lib/imap/db is empty), when I start
it up again it's again at BDB 4.1. Any hints? Should it work, am I doing something
wrong? I already ran db_recover (from 4.1 and 4.2, didn't seem to help).

AFAICT it was changed prior to 2.1.2.  However, it doesn't look like 
this change made its way into 2.2.  The question is, which behavior is 
correct?  I'd argue that in the absence of a :comparator (or similar) 
argument to vacation, that treating the localpart as can sensitive is 
probably correct.  That being said, I must have made the change in 2.1 
for a reason.  ;)

You needed to run db_recover-4.1 from /var/lib/imap/db/ before you
started the newly compiled cyrus-imapd.  Otherwise, dump mailbox list file
(ctl_mboxlist -d), delete other berkeley dbs (deliver, tls_sessions and
annotations).  Then re-create mboxlist (ctl_mboxlist -u) and restart the
server.

I ran db_recover-4.1 before the upgrade and had no problems.  Double check
for other dependencies of db-4.1 that possibly made it to
cyrus-imapd|sasl (like heimdal if you use it).

Thanks. Just for the record, I had a previous installation of cyrus-imapd
in /usr/lib/cyrus/bin (linked with db-4.1), result of a "make install", and
the rpm version (linked with db-4.2) in /usr/lib/cyrus. It's amazing nothing
worse happened. It's fixed now and working perfectly.

Authenticating and authorizing as different users w/an MUA?

[Wil Cooley]

I recall being able to authenticate as one user and authorize as another
at some point with cyradm; it doesn't seem to do that anymore (at least,
it's not in the man page).  At any rate, this tells me it's something
the server and IMAP protocol are capable of.  However, I don't know of
any MUAs that will let you do this, which is important for certain user
support issues.  Does anyone know of one, or am I mistaken about being
able to do this?

pine can do it.  Any c-client based client is capable of proxy
authorization.  php unfortunately does not export plain mech; a small
patch fixes this problem.  This php patch allows IMP to do proxy auth.

Plus Addressing

[Wander]

Hi list,

I´m using Postfix with "recipient_delimiter = +" and cyrus imapd and plus 
addressing doesn´t work. When sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it goes 
to user Inbox instead of direct to user´s folder.

Please any light?

Thanks

Yeah, its not documented and the option names are almost the reverse of 
what imtest uses:

cyradm --user  --authz 

imtest -a  -u 

Note that the only mechanisms that allow for proxying are PLAIN, 
DIGEST-MD5, OTP, SRP, KERBEROS_V4 and GSSAPI.

At any rate, this tells me it's something
the server and IMAP protocol are capable of.  However, I don't know of

I'm not aware of any maintream MUAs that let you do this.

Redhat RPM Build Problem

Are you using Procmail?  If you are using Procmail to filter the mail to
"folder", you need to escape the "+".  I had the same problem until I did
that.

Re: Redhat RPM Build Problem

Did you make sure you have the latest errata installed for RH 7.3?
And have you tried compiling the RPM as non-root? goto
http://www.freshrpms.net/ and view his document called "the fight" for
setting up a non-root RPM build environment.   
I just compiled Simon Matter's latest 2.1.16 RPMS successfully on my RH
7.3 server fine.

You have installed something on your box which is not from RedHat 7.3,
like updated db4, updated perl or whatever.

I can only test src rpms on stock distributions, so for 7.3, this is
RedHat 7.3 + all errata from RedHat. Everything else may or may not build.
I have tested and rebuilt successfully on RedHat 6.2, 7.2, 7.3, 9 and
Fedora Core 1.

domain name 2.2.2-BETA

[Troex Nevelin]

Hello.
I'm having problem with domain names in 2.2.2-BETA version. 
I want to create [EMAIL PROTECTED], imapd uses sasldb.
I create user:
saslpasswd -u name.domain.com user
then usinf cyradm I create mailbox:
cm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but when i connect (username: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) i get something
like:

Dec 15 23:13:37 server pop3s[7015]: badlogin:
.xxx.xxx[xx.xx.xx.xx] plaintext user SASL(-13): user
not found: checkpass failed

If I do like above for [EMAIL PROTECTED] everything works fine.

I've looked through Pine's help system and configuration options and it
isn't clear to me how to configure it; can you give me a hint?

Here is a sample server string:
{server/imap/norsh/tls/authuser=/user=}INBOX

authcid = authentication id 
authzid = authorization id

The idea is for c-client to use the plain mech.  So, you need to turn
cram-md5 off on the cyrus server side and the session needs to run over
tls/ssl.

Hope this helps.

thanks to the post from wim baker where he wrote this:
cyradm --auth plain --user [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost

then I can create a folder 
cm user/foo/folder1


and here the config for IMP

$servers['cyrus'] = array(

Default domain in sendmail when using cyrus virtdomains

[Adam Fox]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of setting up a new mail server with Cyrus IMAP 2.2.2 to
use the virtual domains feature. I'm using sendmail as the MTA, and this is
working fine when the email address is fully qualified.

What I would like to be able to do is set a default domain in sendmail so
that any unqualified email addresses have a default domain attached rather
than the host name of the server. This would be especially helpful in our
alias file which is quite large. The alias file would be much easier to
manage if we didn't have to put @gribbles.com.au after each name!

If anyone knows of a way to do this, please let me know.
