[SM-USERS] SM not finding $MAIL
Greetings. I have a fresh 1.4.2 install up on a RH 7.3 box and RH 9 box as well, both with UW. Everything appears to be working just fine with one notable acception. I'm sure it's some simple option I've overlooked but I can't for the life of me find it. Neither SM installation seems to be reading my user's $MAIL (/var/mail/spool/$USER in my case). I know it's available via IMAP because I tested IMAP via Mozilla on my desktop box so IMAP isn't the problem. What option am I overlooking? Both boxes are currently using the legacy mailbox format. Both are using Sendmail and of course Procmail. I plan on migrating the RH 9 box to Cyrus for testing when I get a chance. The Rh 7.3 box is a production box at the moment so I can't make a change like that safely at this point and time. I searched the mailing list archives but couldn't find anything useful (and few matches at that). I'm sure this has been asked before though. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Justin PS==> I'm thoroughly impressed by SM, especially it's use of plugins.

Re: [SM-USERS] Migratign from $HOMEDIR to $HOMEDIR\mail
I'm assuming you have enough users on your RH9 box to make doing this by hand an unlikely task. In theory you should be able to read the contents of ~/.mailboxlist via a shell or perl script, move each file listed in .mailboxlist to ~/mail/, update your subscription list via .mailboxlist to reflect the new location of each of the files moved, and move on to the next user. You'd also need to update your SM config. config/conf.pl, Option 3, then 1, or $default_folder_prefix = 'mail/'; I'm new to SM and IMAP but this looks like the method I'd consider taking.

The SpamAssassin folks did this to SA to force the admins to define $CONTACT_ADDRESS themselves rather than sending the users to SA's own end user page. They too were receiving a number of requests from users, mostly irate. I think it would be wise for SM to do the same. My $.02 Justin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.

[SM-USERS] Addressbook error: Could not lock datafile
We've had trouble with the addressbook ever since we moved SM over to our new mail system. Currently when a user tries to modify their addressbook they get the error "ERROR: Could not lock datafile". The permissions on /var/mail/suqirrelmail are fine. Same for each users' prefs, sig, abook, etc. Basically everything looks just fine. We're using SM 1.5.1 from CVS (20040331_0040) and haven't had any trouble with it until now. Can anyone think of anything that might cause this error? One thing might be useful to point out. /var/mail/squirrelmail is NFS mounted onto our 2 frontline mail servers (AV/spam scanning, POP/IMAP proxying back to the backened server) from the backend server (mail spools, actual pop/imap daemons, etc). We were offering SM via round robin DNS on both of the frontend filter boxes. That is until I realized that when people's workstation DNS cache expired it and tried to resolve the webmail host again, it might get the IP for the other filter box. When the user makes a SM query to the new box (unknown to the user), that host tells the user they must login first since it doesn't know that the users has already authenticated on the other box. Annoying. We've stopped doing that as of this morning. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm running NFSv3 on all these systems. fstabs are identical (literally). It all looks good best I can tell. I'll see if nfs-utils has a newer release out there. > store session information in sql or use shared directory to store session > information. > > > php_value session.save_path /path/to/shared-dir/sm-sessiondata > > > http://www.php.net/session-set-save-handler > > Different handler might require modifications in SquirrelMail code. SQL isn't an option at the moment but I'm interested in the shared session directory idea you mentioned. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the pointer! > :) SquirrelMail devel on production cluster. Nice. We didn't have much choice. 1.4.2 was unusable in our production environment. IIRC we had to switch to the CVS to get bug fixes to a number of problems we were having. I don't have any qualms about running dev code as long as I've had a chance to test it, which I did with this SM release before going live. It's been rock solid till now. Thanks for the reply. I'll see where I can get with the prob now. Justin -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
