Puzzling error with fresh install of 2.3.14

[patrick]

I've just installed Cyrus IMAP 2.3.14 on a fresh FreeBSD 7.2 machine,
and I'm getting some puzzling errors when I start up:

Jul  9 15:40:19 marzipan ctl_cyrusdb[11648]: archiving database file:

I've read some suggestions to change the DB format to skiplist for
everything (and I know this will get around this error), but I'd
really like to figure out what's actually wrong with my setup here. I
installed 2.3.13 on a FreeBSD 7.2 system a few months ago, and didn't
have any problems at all with the exact same settings.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,

Patrick

Re: Puzzling error with fresh install of 2.3.14

[patrick]

Okay, I spotted the difference between my two systems. The first one
running 2.3.13 has BDB 4.2 installed. The second had BDB 4.1, which is
I guess what FreeBSD Ports uses by default if not specified. I
upgraded to 4.2 and compiled Cyrus. All is well.

listmailbox problem

[patrick]

I have a Cyrus 2.2.12 server, and I'm having trouble getting the
listmailbox command to return me what I want.

The notable parts of my configuration are:

unixhierarchysep: yes
virtdomains: yes

In the examples from the O'Reilly book on Cyrus
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html), they have:


You can list all the users on the system by listing their top-level mailboxes 
(remember, a > top-level mailbox is essentially the same as a username in the 
Cyrus namespace):

localhost>  listmailbox user.%


But when I run "listmailbox user/%" (because I have the
unixhierarchysep set to yes), I don't get any mailboxes listed.

If I do just a plain "listmailbox", I'll get entries like:

user/mike/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/mike/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/mike/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
user/patrick/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/patrick/Deleted [EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/patrick/Deleted [EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/patrick/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/patrick/Saved [EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/patrick/Sent [EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)

What I want to be able to get is:

user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)

Is there something special I need to do because of my configuration?

Thanks,

Patrick

Re: listmailbox problem

[patrick]

Thanks, that worked for me. I guess it's not possible to list all
users in all domains, but I can work around that.

Implied virtdomain?

[patrick]

We're in the process of migrating from an ancient UW-IMAP setup to
Cyrus with "virtdomains: yes", and there's one little thing I'm
wondering about. Our old accounts just have a username without the
domain part, whereas all of our new accounts will be a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
format. If someone tries to login with just a username, Cyrus/SASL
uses the defaultdomain to lookup the username, which is great.

I'm wondering though, is there a way to also have Cyrus default to the
defaultdomain with the mailbox? For example, let's say our default
domain is domain1.com. If someone logs in with the username "patrick",
SASL looks up [EMAIL PROTECTED] in our database. What we want is
that once the user is authenticated, their mailbox is also
user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of just user/patrick. Is this at all
possible?

Thanks,

Patrick

Re: Mailbox is locked by POP server

[patrick]

I'm also getting this sometimes with some of our customers. I suspect
it does have something to do with the client, as one person is using
Eudora and the other is using Outlook Express. But regardless, the
server should be able to cope with these and unlock the mailbox after
the connection has been dropped. So far, the only way I've found to
cure it is to restart the server which is really not ideal.

POP3 working, IMAP is not

[patrick]

I have a Cyrus IMAP 2.2.13 server running, and all of the sudden IMAP
connections are not working properly. Users connecting via our webmail
(Horde/IMP) don't see any messages and it says it can't retrieve the
quota. If I connect via POP3 I do, however, see all of the messages
there. I tried connecting via IMAP from a desktop client
(Thunderbird), and it is showing me *most* of the messages, though not
any from today. I've scoured the logs, but don't see any errors.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Re: POP3 working, IMAP is not

[patrick]

Actually, Thunderbird was showing all of the messages. I didn't see
the latest messages because its sort arrows are upside down (!). It
would seem that this must be an IMP problem, so I'll start looking
there.

Apply Sieve script to messages already in INBOX?

[patrick]

I sense the answer is no, but I wanted to be sure. Is it possible to
apply a Sieve script to messages that are already in the INBOX? We are
using Horde/IMP for webmail and recently switched the filtering engine
from the bug-ridden IMAP filtering to use Sieve scripts on the server
itself. There was no good way to port people's existing scripts over,
and so some people are left with mail that would have normally been
filtered that wasn't because of the inherent delay between the switch
and them recreating the rules.

Thanks,

Patrick

postfix + sieve problem

[Patrick Gaherty]

I'm having problems getting sieve and postifx to play nicely together. I'm 
using cyrus-imapd-2.0.14 and postfix-20010202. From reading around it would 
seem to be a problem with lmtp, but I'm not sure where/how to enable it. At 
the moment my configuration is:

postfix - main.cf
mailbox_transport = cyrus

postifx - master.cf
cyrus unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R user=cyrus:cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -m ${extension} ${user}

cyrus - imapd.conf
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

I can install sieve scripts successfully, but a standard reject filter 
sends the rejection to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (rather than back to the 
original sender). Vacation filters seem to have no effect. Any help as to 
where I'm going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Patrick Gaherty

Re: postfix + sieve problem

[Patrick Gaherty]

Exactly what I needed. I followed the configuration guidelines in the 
LMTP_README file and sieve now works a treat!

Re: Cyrus 2.0.14 on Linux and signal 11

[Patrick Boutilier]

Is there a way to compile SASL against the libs in 
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.2/lib instead of /lib ?

There is a configure option (--with-dbdir=DIR) for Cyrus-imapd but none 
for cyrus-sasl

Re: Cyrus IMAP 2.0.14: lmtpd signaled to death by 11

Ken,

Yes it does. I just tried the CVS version on RedHat 7.1 and there are no

Brendon,

Did you compile the programs or are you using RPM packages?

Can you provide the ldd output from /usr/cyrus/bin/master, 
/usr/cyrus/bin/imapd, and /usr/local/lib/libsasl.so ?

Re: pine thinks my INBOX is empty? Anyone know if this is a common pr oblem with pine and cyrus?

[Patrick Boutilier]

Have you configured Pine to check your IMAP mailbox? Pine defaults to 
checking /var/spool/mail by default I believe.

Re: pine thinks my INBOX is empty? Anyone know if this is a common pr oblem with pine and cyrus?

[Patrick Boutilier]

Or configure within Pine.

1. Choose the Setup option from the main Pine menu (S)
2. Choose C for config
3. Put something like this for inbox-path :

{your.imap.server/user=yourusername}INBOX

4. Choose E to exit config and save your changes

Re: imapd (2.0.15) dies immediately

[Patrick Boutilier]

Matt,

This is most likely the problem of imapd and sasl being linked against 
different libdb's

Can you provide the results of:

ldd /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
ldd /usr/cyrus/bin/master
ldd /usr/local/lib/libsasl.so

Re: SleepyCat 3.3.11

Cyrus imap 2.0.15 and SASL 1.5.24 compile fine on RedHat 7.1 using 
SleepyCat 3.3.11

I can also telnet to port 143 and sending mail using deliver works as well.

Dan,

I would just use rsync to move the relevant data from the old box to the

Compiling 1.6.24 under Redhat 7.1

[Patrick Boutilier]

Has anybody successfully compiled cyrus-imap 1.6.24 or 1.6.25 under 
RedHat 7.1? I keep getting this from configure.

checking for dbopen... no
checking for dbopen in -ldb... no

When I compile I get this error:

dump_deliver.c
dump_deliver.c:47:18: ndbm.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [dump_deliver.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/iei/cyrus-imapd-1.6.25/imap'
make: *** [all] Error 1



Is there any way to get the configure script to check for dbopen in -ldb-3 ?

RedHat 6.2 to RedHat 7.1 upgrade notes

[Patrick Boutilier]

I just upgraded from RedHat 6.2 to RedHat 7.1. I am running imap 1.6.24 
and sasl 1.5.24. After the upgrade I kept getting these errors in my log 
even though I am using pam for authentication. Users could still login 
fine but the logs were filling up with this error.


unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Invalid argument


Turns out the problem was with the cyrus-sasl RPM that was installed 
during the upgrade. imapd, deliver, /usr/local/lib/libsasl.so, etc.. 
where all linked against

libdb.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdb.so.3 (0x40037000)

on the RedHat 6.2 system while on the RedHat 7.1 system 
/usr/lib/libsasl.so was linked against (I think this was the link as I 
overwrote the sasl libs with compiled versions trying to fix the problem)

/lib/libdb-3.1.so


Now one wouldn't think this would be a problem since my imapd is linked 
against /usr/local/lib/libsasl.so which is a version that was compiled 
on RedHat 6.2. Turns out the problem was the RPM installed it's own 
version of /etc/sasldb which was probably created with the 
sasldblistusers binary linked against /lib/libdb-3.2.so

I deleted the /etc/sasldb file and ran sasldblistusers (linked against 
/usr/lib/libdb.so.3) and now the errors are gone. :-)

The other solution would have been to recompile imapd to link against 
the same db libraries that sasl does but I couldn't get 1.6.24 to 
compile under 7.1 (see previous post)

Deliver problem with the "-r $g"

[Patrick LIN]

hi,

i am Using

- Sendmail Switch-2.1.0
- Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.12

On Solaris 2.6 Server E220R

My configuration is deliver mail with lmtp
i have a strange problem with the deliver since i change my Mcyrus in 
sendmail.cf

from :

Mcyrus, P=/usr/local/bin/deliver, F=lsDFMnPqAh5@/:|, S=EnvFromL, 
R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
 U=cyrus:cyrus, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
 A=deliver -e -m $h -- $u

to :

Mcyrus, P=/usr/local/bin/deliver, F=lsDFMnPqAh5@/:|, S=EnvFromL, 
R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
 U=cyrus:cyrus, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
 A=deliver -r $g -e -m $h -- $u


(just adding -r $g without that vacation doesn't work on sieve)

so the problem is very strange and seem to be Random.
i have one mailbox seem to be lock (not the same)
in the sendmail log i read the message is deliver so sendmail pass the 
mail to deliver proggy.
but  when i do a ps , i can see a lot of line like that

deliver -r  -e -m -- mailbox_who_have_problem

and no mail go to this mailbox anymore
the number of line in the ps go up depend on the number of mail this 
person receive

did i have to go to 2.0.16 to fix that , or it is configuration problem 
or something weird?
if i remove the -r $g everything work well like it work since i put the 
2.0.12 (two day after it release) but sieve vacation doesn't work

any help will appreciate on that
thanks in advance, sorry if my explannation is Bad and sorry too for my 
very poor english :)
just ask i will to do it better :)

thanks
Best regards
PAtrick

so the problem is very strange and seem to be Random.
i have one mailbox seem to be lock (not the same)
in the sendmail log i read the message is deliver so sendmail pass the
mail to deliver proggy.
but  when i do a ps , i can see a lot of line like that

deliver -r  -e -m -- mailbox_who_have_problem

and no mail go to this mailbox anymore
the number of line in the ps go up depend on the number of mail this
person receive

did i have to go to 2.0.16 to fix that , or it is configuration problem
or something weird?
if i remove the -r $g everything work well like it work since i put the
2.0.12 (two day after it release) but sieve vacation doesn't work

any help will appreciate on that
thanks in advance, sorry if my explannation is Bad and sorry too for my
very poor english :)

Re: Questions about mass importing accounts

[Patrick Boutilier]

Jeff,

You could move the /var/spool/mail directory off the old machine (using 
rsync for example) and the run the following perl script on the new 
machine. This will create the cyrus mail accounts and migrate the mail 
from /var/spool/mail into the cyrus format.

ftp://ftp.ednet.ns.ca/pub/its/mail/mbox2cyrus.pl

Exim, Cyrus, and LMTP

[Patrick Boutilier]

Hello,

Has anybody setup exim to deliver directly to lmtp (instead of using the 
delivery program) on Cyrus 2.0.16?

Re: Exim, Cyrus, and LMTP

[Patrick Boutilier]

Thanks for the responses. I also noticed that in /etc/cyrus.conf you 
have to use lmtpunix as lmtp gives this error in the Exim logs:


2001-08-20 11:13:55 15YpoR-0001uB-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
T=local_delivery_cyruslmtp defer (-1): Malformed LMTP response after 
initial connection: connect failed: Connection refused




Exim transport:

 
local_delivery_cyruslmtp:
  driver = lmtp
  command = /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -l
  batch = all
  batch_max = 35
  user = cyrus

Re: turning off AUTH=CRAM-MD5

[Patrick Boutilier]

Also note that sasl will look for the plugins in /usr/lib/sasl even if 
you install to /usr/local/lib

I had plugins from the RedHat cyrus-sasl RPM in /usr/lib/sasl so I 
renamed /usr/lib/sasl to /usr/lib/sasl.OLD and made a link from 
/usr/local/lib/sasl to /usr/lib/sasl to only use the plugins I wanted.

PAM woes

[Patrick Boutilier]

Hello,

Just a note about PAM and 2.0.16.  The cyrus user must be able to read 
/etc/pam.d/imap in order for PAM authentication to work under 2.0.16. 
When using 1.6.24 the cyrus user *does not* need to have read access to 
/etc/pam.d/imap

I ran into that problem last night trying to upgrade. :-)

Re: perl scripts

[Patrick Boutilier]

I use the following perl script to create users: (Put in valid 
userid/passwd for $user and $pass)





#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# adduser.pl
# Usage: adduser.pl newuser
#
use File::Basename;
use Net::IMAP;
 
$newuser = "user.$ARGV[0]";
$user = "user";
$pass = "password";
 
# Set this to the hostname of your IMAP server
#$IMAPSERVER = "142.227.51.106";
$IMAPSERVER = "localhost";
#
# Main Code
#
# Login to IMAP server
$imap = new Net::IMAP($IMAPSERVER, Synchronous => 1) || die "no go 
$! !";
$response = $imap->login($user, $pass);
print "Login: ", $response->status, "-", $response->status_text, "\n";
 
# Create the new mailbox
$response = $imap->create($newuser);
print "Create: ", $response->status, "-", $response->status_text, "\n";
 
# Disconnect from IMAP server
$response = $imap->logout();
print "Logout: ", $response->status, "-", $response->status_text, "\n";

Deliver -l -q

[Patrick Boutilier]

Can the deliver options -l and -q be used together? I have tried and 
receive this in my exim logs:

2001-08-27 14:43:23 15bQPz-0001qN-00 == 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] T=local_delivery_cyruslmtp defer 
(-1): LMTP error after end of data: 452 4.2.2 Over quota

If I use deliver without the -l option then -q works as desired.

hi,

On Solaris 2.6 Server E220R

My configuration is deliver mail with lmtp
i have a strange problem with the deliver since i change my Mcyrus in
sendmail.cf

Mcyrus, P=/usr/local/bin/deliver, F=lsDFMnPqAh5@/:|, S=EnvFromL,
R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
  U=cyrus:cyrus, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,

R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
  U=cyrus:cyrus, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
  A=deliver -r $g -e -m $h -- $u


(just adding -r $g without that vacation doesn't work on sieve)

so the problem is very strange and seem to be Random.
i have one mailbox seem to be lock (not the same)

Re: Migrating existing mailboxes to cyrus imapd

You can use a script like the following:

ftp://ftp.ednet.ns.ca/pub/its/mail/mbox2cyrus.pl

I think you need the UW Imap code to compile imap support in PHP.

Re: pam/mysql doesnt work

[Patrick Boutilier]

Mark,

Try substituting --with-pam for --with-passwd_method=PAM when 
configuring sasl.


Also try removing:

 pwcheck_method: PAM

from your /etc/imapd.conf . You should only require:

 sasl_pwcheck_method: pam

I didn't see that the first read through. :-)

What about the permissions of /etc/pam.d/imap ?

I do believe the cyrus user needs to be able to read the file

RE: Cyrus IMAP, Steltor Calendar and Outlook

[Patrick Lin]

Hi,

We actually , use this setting internally here 
- Cyrus IMAP Server 
- Steltor Calendar Server
- CTOC 
- LDAP Server

We move to this setting from Exchange while ago 
OK I am Working at Steltor , it is why I didn't say nothing else, only
what work actually here :) :)
Feel to ask any other questions who can help take a decision (and the
good one :) :) )

Re: update: Re: cyrus, mysql, is anyone out there?

[Patrick Boutilier]

Here is what I have in my /etc/pam.d/pop file in Redhat 7.2:




#%PAM-1.0
auth   required /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=xxx passwd=xxx 
db=school table=user usercolumn=userid passwdcolumn=passwd

accountrequired /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=xxx passwd=xxx 
db=school table=user usercolumn=userid passwdcolumn=passwd


Also make sure that the cyrus user can read the pam file. Are the 
permissions the same on both the imap and pop pam files?

As Exim has now delivered the mail to Cyrus, why not write a sieve script
so that Cyrus sorts the mail into folders?

I compiled it from the source (BerkeleyDB.4.1)
The SASL version is 2.1.9. Cyrus has the same version.

It's a SUSE Linux (8.1) Box. But i head the same problem before

Check your log files (usually /var/log/messages or /var/log/maillog) . 
There should be some indication as to what file/directory it can not find.


Otherwise you could strace the quota process.

corrupted quota files and that I can fix this by using 'quota -f'
command
but on SLES9 quota command doesnt have -f parameter.

Are you speaking about the linux "quota" command or
the cyrus one "cyrquota" ?

Alain, there is space for confusion here because there is no "cyrquota" in
the cyrus distribution, only Debian (any maybe others) rename it so.
However, I don't know how SuSE does it.

What happens when you try to delete a_akpinar again? You will probably 
get the same I/O errors in which case just touch the needed files and 
try to delete a_akpinar again.

touch /var/spool/imap/user/a_akpinar/cyrus.header

Thanks a lot for further information.


OK, I guess that's helpful. The reason for the failure is this line:

wrong version number in SSL_accept() -> fail

Now the question is why that happens. This is the code that logs the line:

   case SSL_ERROR_SSL:
   err = ERR_get_error();
   if (err == 0) {
   syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "protocol error in SSL_accept() -> fail");
   } else {
   syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "%s in SSL_accept() -> fail",
  ERR_reason_error_string(err));
   }
   break;

So the server notes an SSL error, logs it and drops the connection. The 
cause for the error seems to be something like this:


"Versions in client/server SSL records do not agree.
Probably your client sends SSL2 client_hello handshake
message and server is configured only for SSL3/TLS1.
In this situation server does not accept SSL2
client_hello what is being manifested by "wrong version
number" error.
To resolve this error you may disable SSL2 on client
or enable SSL2 handshake on server.
tcpdump output from wrong session handshake
may be helpful too."

What I don't understand is how it could've worked in earlier versions. 
Anyway, could this be a client issue? Can you try other clients to see 
if they handle this differently? Can you disable SSLv2 in your client?




I had the same problem this morning after running 2.3.11 for over nine 
days. In my case restarting Thunderbird fixed my problem for now.

We use pam_mysql to authenticate against a MySQL database therefore have

We use many mount points and symbolic links inside the Cyrus partition. 
Should work the same way for virtual domains and a direct mount. The 
only draw back is that singleinstancestore won't be as efficient as hard 
links can not be made between mount points. But it is better than 
running out of disk space. :-)

We are using the RocketRAID 3xxx series which has the drivers in the

You should be able to use pam_require 
(http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/pam_require). Make a group for your 
mail users and put the users in that group. Then configure 
/etc/pam.d/imap (or wherever your pam config is located) to use 
pam_require to require that users that want to log into Cyrus be in that 
group.

Look in /etc/imapd.conf and make sure you don't have tls_cert_file

Do you compile from source? If so you can change the 2 lines in imapd.c 
that read:

sasl_server_new("imap"...

to

sasl_server_new("imapnew"...

Compile imapd again and copy the resulting binary to imapdnew. Then use 
this line in cyrus.conf:

imapnew cmd="imapdnew" listen="imapnew" prefork=5*

 From "man master" . Configure your alternate config files to point to 
different directories.


OPTIONS
-C alternate imapd.conf
   Specifies an alternate imapd.conf for use by master (note 
that this will not affect any sub-processes spawned by master, you 
should specify those specifically in the respective entries in cyrus.conf).

-M alternate cyrus.conf
   Specifies an alternate cyrus.conf for use by master.

By separating the meta data onto RAID1 10k/15k RPM drives, and the email

We went from Fedora Core 2 (32 bit) to CentOS 5.2 (64 bit) without any 
issues. Both were running Cyrus 2.3.x.

I was wondering if this bug would account for the behaviour that I am 
seeing. I am getting corrupt cyrus.expunge files that are causing 
unexepunge to segfault.

Looking at the metadata I have noticed that I am getting NEW files for 
expunge,index, and cache on affected mail boxes.

Lots of these:

record for user.wooddm: got bogus offset 0 for 68/3; try reconstruct

I managed to "fix" things by lowering -X from 7 days to 1 day . For some 
reason cyr_expire ran without errors with -X1

/usr/local/cyrus/bin/cyr_expire -E 77 -X 3 -v -a -p 'user.wooddm'


Which brings me to another question. Why does cyr_expire have to be run 
with -E ? I put it up to 77 when running cyr_expire manually just so it 
wouldn't spend 30 minutes cleaning up the duplicate delivery database. :-)

When the corruption comes back I will attempt to get a backtrace from 
unexpunge, as it does segfault.

No, I wasn't sure if reconstructing would bring back expunged e-mails or 
not. Plus I had 3893 accounts showing these errors and once cyr_expire 
started working with -X1 I didn't pursue reconstruct. :-)

One thing I forgot to mention is that /var/imap is on an ext4 filesystem 
and all the metadata is stored there.


metapartition_files: header index cache expunge squat
metapartition-default: /var/imap/metadata
delete_mode:delayed
expunge_mode:delayed

OK - so apart from the "you need to reconstruct" bit, this message

The attached patch will make things much more useful! (but the core

Running reconstruct on the mailbox does fix the problem.



I wrote a script to reconstruct any mailbox that showed corruption 
during cyr_expire. I had to reconstruct about 4000 accounts the first 
week and another 5000 or so the second week. It has been well over two 
weeks now since any further corruption.


The only thing I can think of is that these mailboxes have been 
"corrupt" for quite a while (years maybe) but they only started showing 
problems once we enabled delayed expunge/delete .

I am using cyrus on redhat enterprise linux 5.3. Since i have upgraded to the

Any idea.

Darn. This is caused by mailbox corruption again. My script to detect 
corruption wasn't working properly. Any idea how we can track down what 
is causing the corruption?


Thanks.

Yeah, I was going to say.

It's corrupted cache file offset pointers.  Assuming you upgraded
this from an earlier version of Cyrus at some point,


I believe we started at 1.5.19 and then migrated up through the 2.0 , 
2.2 series. Our last major update was from 2.2.13 to 2.3.11. Currently 
on 2.3.13


 cyrus.expunge

and cyrus.index files had issues maintaining cache pointer
consistency.  You pretty much have to reconstruct all your mailboxes
to guarantee consistency I think.


This latest list of corrupted mailboxes includes many that were 
correupted a couple of weeks ago (including mine) so this is the second 
time they have been reconstructed.




I'm tempted to protect the code from crashing though... we don't
use unexpunge at FastMail, which is probably why I haven't already
done so.

Something like the attached should do it.  I'll test it more
completely and commit it to CVS for 2.3.14 (since Ken hasn't
cut a release candidate yet!)


Thanks for the patch.

Would ipurge be causing the corruption? We currently purge e-mails older 
than 31 days on a weekly basis. I will turn that off for a bit (since 
disk space is not as much of an issue as it used to be) and see if the 
corruption returns.

Correct. We have been running 2.3.13 pretty much since it was released, 
2.3.12 before that, and 2.3.11 before that.

The more I think of it, the more I believe that ipurge will be the 
source of the problem. When I was manually checking for corruption (and 
reconstructing the mailboxes that had problems) there would be no 
corruption for 6 days. On the 7th day (always Sunday morning if I recall 
correctly) corruption would reappear in many mailboxes. As it turns out, 
our weekly ipurge ran on Saturday morning.

This will be real easy to test though. I will just run ipurge on a 
subfolder of my mailbox and see if it corrupts it. :-)

I can duplicate the corruption by following steps similar to this report:

http://archives.devshed.com/forums/networking-100/cyr-expire-sigsegv-2146878.html


Current directory here is /var/imap/metadata/G/user/boutilpj/Testmail

   Quick way to show number of messages in the folder:



[cy...@student2 Testmail]$ cat cyrus.cache |grep -a Prec|wc -l

   Delete 11 messages through IMAP client:

   Run ipurge with a number high enough not to delete anything. I purge 
only sees 31 messages and removes them from cyrus.cache:

FWIW we see the same corruption here with ipurge.  We use ipurge to clean 
out old messages from a spam box for each user.  We've worked around it 
currently by reconstructing the box after the ipurge which adds a lot of 
work to our nightly maintenance.


Plus you lose all the messages that are in "delayed expunge" state after

Looks good. Passes my earlier test. And you are correct. You can 
unexpunge messages that ipurge purges. Slick :-)

Question regarding ctl_mboxlist -u

[Patrick Boutilier]

Cyrus 2.2.14

I have a user that I can not delete:

[r...@student2 cyrus]# /home/cyrus/deluser.pl cyrust
Login: No Errors
User ACL:  OK Completed
IMAP::Admin [ delete ]: couldn't delete user.cyrust : * BYE Fatal error: 
Internal error: assertion failed: cyrusdb_skiplist.c: 758: db->is_open



So I plan on fixing this by dumping and then importing mailboxes.db 
using something like the following. My question is will this be 
sufficient? I wouldn't have to run any reconstructs afterwards would I?



service cyrus stop
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d > /home/cyrus/mailboxes.txt

Have you tried to remove "--with-auth=unix" from your configure statement?

Are you using cyradm? You should be able to put single quotes around the 
DELETED mailbox name.

ipurge syntax

[Patrick Boutilier]

How can you get ipurge to only work on the INBOX? If I try this nothing 
happens:

ipurge -d 31 user.spam


If I put in -f then the INBOX and every folder underneath gets processed.


man page seems to indicate that only processing the INBOX is not possible:

Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means 
that  mails  in  mailbox(es)  below  INBOX.*  and  user.*  stay
untouched. Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) 
below these folders.

That would give access to all the e-mail in the folder, not just one 
specific message.

Quick SASL question

[Patrick Boutilier]

I am setting up a murder environment in testing. The backends use
SASL with pam for imap/pop authentication. I have to configure a user 
for "proxyservers" on the backends for the frontends to use. Is there 
anyway to configure it so that the "proxyservers" user can be in 
/etc/sasldb2 while still using pam for the "real" users?

Are you running the same version of imapd on both the master and slave?

They are both 2.3.x so that shouldn't be a problem. However those 
versions are relatively old. 2.3.15 is the latest in the 2.3 series.

I just setup replication a couple of weeks ago and haven't seen any of 
those errors.

Usually security fixes though.

You could try this source RPM:
