Re: lmpt/quota behaviour
Indeed, lmtpd checks for the quota immediately on delivery. There should be no delay in updating for the quota change. Christos Ken Murchison wrote: Per olof Ljungmark wrote: Hi all, I'm running a test setup and today I tried setting the quota for a mailbox below the current size of it to see what happened. No surprise, lmpt started responding "452 4.2.2 Over quota" as it should. Then I increased the quota again so that there were plenty of room, waited for the 452 response to go away but it did not. After an hour I restarted the lmtp process and the account accepted mail again. Q: How long should it normally take for lmtp to see the changes? The change TO "Over quota" was registered instantly but the not the opposite apparently. Can this time be adjusted? I believe lmtpd should be checking the quota for each RCTP TO that it receives, but I'd have to check. It *should* see the change immediately. I know the test scheme was perhaps not a real world one but should not an account be able to accept mail more or less immideately after the quota is fixed? 2.2.10 with patches from UOA.

Virtual memory exhausted
Hi All.
I am using cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 with nntp-functions enabled.
I was using instructions from
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/install-netnews.html to get
some nntp-groups to my local server and to be able to access all the
posts history using IMAP
It went fine, until I tried to get a really big newsgroup..
looking thru /var/spool/imap/folder/corresponding/to/group I can see
that I managed to get 12708 messages.. but the problem is, that I just
can't access those using IMAP-protocol.
Here is the listing of the session:
* OK t1.cjlohbi.su Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 server ready
1 login myusername mypassword
1 OK User logged in
2 id nil
* ID ("name" "Cyrus IMAPD" "version" "v2.2.12 2005/02/14 16:43:51"

3 select nntp.name.of.that.newsgroup
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Seen)]
* BYE Fatal error: Virtual memory exhausted
Connection closed by foreign host.
Everything works fine with smaller groups.
Also, I was watching top, during this session - I didn't see a single
sign of memory exhaustion - there's plenty of it.
and, yes, there are no ulimits set
should it be considered a bug report?

changing cyradm authentication domain
I've got a Postfix->SASL->IMAP config set up and running ok... I'm trying to duplicate this installation... and while I'm following my same steps...

While I have /etc/sysconfig/network -> HOSTNAME = my real fqdn...

Can anyone have a good suggestion to speedup this apart from deleting emails.:) Thank you, Prasan What filesystem did you use on the linux box? the ext2/ext3 filesystems slow down significantly when you have large files or directories with large numbers of files in them, and you are definantly far beyone the point where they will slow down (around 10,000 messages they start to slow down and ~15,000-20,000 they become very bad) if you want to use ext2/ext3 you will need to reasearch and implement the htree filesystem extention and see how well it helps you. Otherwise try converting to XFS or Reiserfs (my personal prefrence is XFS, but test for yourself) one way to tell that it's a server-side problem is to login to the server, cd to the directory for the mailbox and do a ls, you will be amazed at how long it will take to respond. once you get the server working well then the next step is to get a better client then outlook as the other posts have pointed out, but if you were to switch to another client without fixing the server you would find that every action you take is very slow (now moving from outlook you may not notice quite how slow, as outlook is one of the slower clients to start with) David Lang -- There are two ways of constructing a software design.

dumb question about public mailbox
All users are set up with user.USER_NAME except the 'public' user that I created. if I send mail to public or [EMAIL PROTECTED], it creates a mailbox user.public and for this one user only, I want it to go to simply public and not user.public - is this possible?

Creating and using virtual domains in/with Cyrus..
Greetings.. I've been lurking on the list a while, trying to divine the information for setting up virtual domains in Cyrus.. I've read the information provided with Cyrus on setting up virtual domains, but it doesn't appear to work for me. Most notably, I've had to add ``loginrealms:'' and ``unixhierarchysep: true'' to my configuration, and the need didn't appear to be documented. Additionally, when I mark a [EMAIL PROTECTED] as an admin, it can see _all_ the mailboxes, not just the ones in domain.tld. Finally, I've seen folks make reference to a directory structure similiar to this: / /domain.tld /domain.tld/email-1 /domain.tld/email-2 but I don't see that in my configuration.. Anyone have a clue-by-4 they can hit me with?? imapd.conf: configdirectory: /var/imap sieveusehomedir: false sievedir: /var/spool/sieve sieve_maxscripts: 20 hashimapspool: false temp_path: /var/tmp virtualdomains: true username_lower: true unixhierarchysep: true Host: NetBSD 2.0 running on an AlphaServer DS10L.
