How to get FUD working
I have searched all the archives for info on FUD and am not finding much. The only fud-client I find is in the contrib directory and is fud-client.c. How would I go about building fud-client? I am trying to run fud from xinetd following a post I saw and the server does not appear to be listening on 4201. Any help would be appreciated.

Cyrus-IMAP with multiple domains
Hi everyone, I have been using cyrus-imapd-2.1.12 with multiple domains for a while now with great success. Instead of an /etc/imapd.conf I have an /etc/cyrus.conf and then an /etc/cyrus directory where I have domain1.com.conf, domain2.com.conf etc, each with their own IP address. I am now setting up a new server and installed it with all of the latest and greatest software versions including cyrus-imapd-2.2.8. It compiled fine and I configured everything the same as the old server. When I run '/usr/cyrus/bin/master &' it crashes and the log file shows the following error: can't open configuration file /etc/imapd.conf: No such file or directory On the old system cyrus.conf replaces imapd.conf but this new system does not seem to like that. Did something change with version 2.2.8 that is causing this? The only other possibility that I can think of is this is still in a test environment and DNS is not set up for the domains, but I have hard-coded them in /etc/hosts (though there is no reverse DNS). Any help would be great...I really don't want to backtrack to a 2.1 version.

Cyrus to replace UW?
I have a Red Hat 9 mail server running UW imap and I find that mail retrieval from both Windows and Linux email clients is very slow, even to the extent that the email client sometimes times out waiting for the imap server to respond. I have heard that the Cyrus imap server is somewhat faster and was wondering if replacing the UW imap server with the Cyrus server would solve my problem. Has anyone had an experience with this? I am fairly new at this so any help would be appreciated. Regards, Brad
Re: Cyrus to replace UW?
Thanks for your reply Jason. I will look into it, although from your description it may be a bit beyond me. I wonder if Linux will ever be ready for the masses? It is still way too technical for the average user. However, I'll have a go. ;-) Cheers, Brad On Monday 28 July 2003 14:53, you wrote: > > I have a Red Hat 9 mail server running UW imap and I find that mail > > retrieval from both Windows and Linux email clients is very slow, even to > > the extent that the email client sometimes times out waiting for the imap > > server to respond. > > I regularly open 20,000+ message mailboxes with pine against cyrus.

mysql auxprop plugin problem
Hi all, I am trying to get cyrus up and going on fc3 with postfix and mysql. I am using the MySQL-server-4.1.7-0 rpm's from mysql.org. I also built and installed MySQL-shared-compat for other dependencies. My cyrus rpm's are cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-3, cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.19-3, cyrus-sasl- plain-2.1.19-3, cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.19-3, cyrus-sasl-sql-2.1.19-3, cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-1.fc3, cyrus-imapd-utils-2.2.10-3.fc3, and cyrus- imapd-devel-2.2.10-1.fc3. I built the sasl rpm's from source rpm's and included --enable-sql. When I start cyrus-imap I get the following errors in /var/log/messages: perl: unable to dlopen /usr/lib/sasl2/libsql.so.2: /usr/lib/sasl2/libsql.so.2: undefined symbol: compress Dec 17 10:58:41 mybox pop[20869]: SQL engine 'mysql' not supported Dec 17 10:58:41 mybox pop[20869]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available and the same errors for IMAP.

Virtual Domain problem
I am trying to set up Postfix, Cyrus and MySQL to handle virtual
domains. I have a way that works OK using separate Cyrus configs for
each domain and running multiple instances of each Cyrus service. The
problem with that is I am left using procmail to filter out mail by
domain and hand to deliver with the -C option. Bcc does not play well
with procmail.
So I am changing this setup to have Postfix deliver directly to Cyrus
and trying to get Cyrus going with virtual domains. I prefer the
separate IP for each domain method as I don't want to make users log in
with fully qualified email address. Every time I log into pop and enter
user/pass, my mysql logs show a query for the default domain. My mysql
setup is pretty much the setup used in web-cyradm. I am trying this
with both cyrus-imapd-2.1.12 and cyrus-imapd-2.2.10.
Can anyone see why Cyrus is not passing the correct domain name to the
SQL auxprop plugin?
Here are clips of my configs:

Managing mailboxes in virtual setup
I have cyrus running in a virtual setup where my mailboxes file has entries like: domain1.com!user.test default [EMAIL PROTECTED] lrswipcda cyrus lrswipcda domain2.com!user.test default [EMAIL PROTECTED] lrswipcda cyrus lrswipcda Before moving to the virtual setup I could easily run quota or reconstruct on an individual mailbox, but now I am not sure how to. When I run 'quota [EMAIL PROTECTED]' I just get the headers of the columns but no data. Likewise with reconstruct, which I really need to be able to do to individual mailboxes.

Re: How to export data from mailboxes.db
As the cyrus user run: ctl_mboxlist -d > filename 'filename' will now be a text file listing the mailboxes. You can directly edit this file. When you are done making changes to it you can re-import it with: ctl_mboxlist -u < filename You will want to move the mailboxes.db out of the way before importing the text file: mv mailboxes.db mailboxes.db.bak the import command mentioned earlier adds to the mailboxes.db, it does not overwrite mailboxes.db.

I read the documentation on replication and am interested in trying it. I have several servers that run a single domain, but are using virtdomain anyway. I would like to have one virtdomain replica server that serves as a hot spare to all of these servers. In other words server A would replicate domain A mailboxes to the replica and server B would replicate domain B to the replica. If server A fails then I could bring up the replica server for domain A but not domain B (just by not pointing domain B to the replica server). Is this possible?

It is stripping the sub- domain which IIRC is what it should do. But I am not positive why it is not stripping the sub-domain on your localhost test. Might be the way your hosts file is set up or it may not strip the sub-domain if it resolves it from the hosts file but does if it resolves it from DNS. -- Brad Crotchett, RHCE [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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

user.sub files
We are trying to migrate a batch of users from Imail over to cyrus and are using imapsync to get the mail transferred. Even though we are using --subscribe as an imapsync option, the mailboxes are not coming in with any of the folders subscribed. We don't want every user to have to go in and subscribe to all their folders. I tried editing the user.sub file and adding a folder to the list but it still does not show up as subscribed in squirrelmail. However, if I subscribe to a folder through squirrelmail and then delete that folder from the user.sub, the folder then shows as not subscribed. Is there a trick to editing the user.sub file? It wouldn't be too painful to write a script that parses the mailboxes file and then adds all of a user's folders to their .sub file, but this isn't working for me. The only other option I am seeing is a script that logs into IMAP and issues a SUBSCRIBE for every folder in the mailboxes file.

sendmail, pam, saslauthd, and cyrus-imapd
Hey all, I've got a small system that I'm trying to configure using sendmail and cyrus. I want my users to exist as accounts (to support procmail scripts for my users, I hope), and I'd like to use PAM to authenticate. I'm running linux 2.4.18 on i686, sendmail 8.12.5, cyrus-imapd 2.1.11, saslauthd 2.1.10. I'm totally new to cyrus-imapd and probably a sendmail novice, too. I've gotten imapd working, at least to the point where I can log in using an IMAP client and get authenticated. There's no inbox, but I can add my own mailboxes through the IMAP client. I've run saslpasswd2 to create an account with the same user name as exists in PAM (is that the right thing to do?). I'm running 'saslauthd -a pam'. imapd.conf is set to use saslauthd as the pwcheck_method. I'm using the default cyrus.conf, and master is running. When I try to send mail to that account using sendmail, I consistently get: Jan 29 14:27:16 satchel sendmail[8093]: h0TKRGvv008093: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=90355, relay=localhost, dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown I'm using a more-or-less standard .mc file for sendmail: VERSIONID(`my cyrus imapd implementation') OSTYPE(linux) define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES') define(`confTO_IDENT',`0') define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrus') FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') dnl Just added dnl this but to of no avail. FEATURE(`nocanonify') FEATURE(`always_add_domain') MAILER(`local') MAILER(`smtp') MAILER_DEFINITIONS Mcyrus, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n, S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp LOCAL_RULE_0 Rbb + $+ < @ $=w . >$#cyrusbb $: $1 I worry about that last line referencing cyrusbb, if that's interfering with PAM somehow. I also worry about not using cyrusv2 as the mailer, but could find no information on how to configure it correctly. I've tried changing the above mc file to use cyrusv2, but to no avail (although somedown I don't think I need the MAILER_DEFNINITIONS or LOCAL_RULE_0 with cyrusv2). I've searched the FAQ and mailing list archives for days, and tried everything I can think of, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
