problem with user rights in imapd
Dear all, i have installed Cyrus Imapd with saslauthd authentication on a FreeBSD Box with the FreeBSD ports. It is running good. I can login to cyradm with the user cyrus and can create mailboxes. With saslpasswd2 i can give the user a password. The user can access his mailbox with imap client. Also sendmail is delivering mails to the mailboxes very well. My problem is now 1. in cyradm (logged in as cyrus who is defined as admin in imapd.conf) i can´t delete mailboxes. Message is permission denied. 2. The User have no permission to create his own folders into his mailbox. best regards, Stefan Fritze

Administrators don't have permission to delete mailboxes by default. It must be given explicitly. I'm using version 2.1.15, so this informatio is correct for that version: Only users who have create "c" permission on a mailbox can also delete it. Use the listacelmailbox command in cyradm to see mailbox permissions: lam user.x To give cyrus create permission in order to be able to delete a mailbox: sam user.x cyrus c Now the mailbox can be deleted: dm user.x > 2. The User have no permission to create his own folders into his mailbox. Not sure about that one. What does lam user.x say? Does the user have create permission?

Authentication problem
I sent this to cyrus-sasl first, but have not gotten any replies. I was trying to look through the archives. There are thousands of "authentication" emails. I hope this is the right list. Please let me know if it's not. I'm running posfix/cyrus/mysql on SuSE 9.0. I can't connect to an account where the user name is not also a UNIX user (in /etc/passwd). This is driving me nuts. If I create a UNIX user, the authentication works fine.

Mailbox aliases on cyrus
Hi, I have setup mailoxes for my server like this : Sent Trash Draft Junk This way Mozilla automaticaly use the right folder so it helps a lot. My main concern with this setup is when i want to sent direct mail to one of those. For exemple if i put for Sent the "p" right and then send to username+Sent it goes to username because it search for username+sent (With lower case S). But if you name the directory in lowercase then mozilla do not automaticaly recognize them. I wanted to know if there is a way to have a mailbox alias, for exemple making "Sent" a symbolic link to "sent". As Cyrus is a blackbox i fear to create strange behavior doing that. Any of you had some experiences with this ? best regards, Ghislain. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Disaster Recovery
Hi, I am working through various Cyrus crash scenarios. In the event of losing a disk containing /var/spool/imap/users and having no backup. How can I reconstruct the user directory hierarchy. EG /var/spool/imap/users/testuser testuser2 testuser3 etc etc. The reconstruct utility seems to require the users directory already exists. Is it a case of having to script something based on the contents of the mailboxes.db file ? Thanks. Gordon.

What does "No worthy mech found"mean? Secondly, why would I get a pam_mysql: select returned an invalidencrypted password? I'm trying to use plain passwords for the moment, untilI am certain everything is working. My passwords in my MySql DB are inplain text.Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!Eric
