delete files from /var/spool/imap/{user-sub-dir}

Probably a faq, but is it safe to just arbitrarily delete a file from a users mailbox from the shell? I.E. Not via pop3 or imap? Just rm -f the file? I'm inclined to think this is neither safe, nor a very good idea... But I thought I'd ask anyway. --- PGP public key fingerprint FC3A FD71 8

ructure, because before everything seemed to be hashed except for the default partition where the mail is actually stored. That should take care of linux's issues with large directories. Thanks! Andy At 08:54 PM 2/10/2001 -0800, you wrote: >On 10-Feb-01 at 14:07, Andy Hubbell, Jr. ([E

Re: Performance Question cyrus-imapd 2.0.11

ivery? This would seem somewhat wasteful, especially on a busy system with lots of disk IO... Nothing else is talking lmtp to this server so it should only be getting lmtp connections on the socket. Thanks! Andy At 02:15 AM 2/11/2001 -0600, you wrote: > >>>>> On Sat, 10 Feb

Performance Question cyrus-imapd 2.0.11

Greetings, Ok, time for another question... We are running a mail system (ISP) with just a bit over 4000 mailboxes at present... Our exact configuration is as follows: RedHat Linux 7.0 + patches, postfix snapshot 20010204 (MTA), and cyrus-imapd 2.0.11 system is a dual PIII 800 with 512mb r

squirrelmail 1.01 and cyrus-imapd 2.0.9

I've discovered an interesting (ahem) feature of squirrelmail (http://www.squirrelmail.org/) web based email client... It seems to be killing my cyrus-imapd, I can log in to imap via squirrel but it freezes all of the processes (both pop3 and imap) of cyrus immediately! (I'm assuming this is

Re: Cyrus-imapd 2.0.9 all users accept the cyrus password & noothers!

Sorry folks, I was just confused & marginally mis-configured... Pam is working beautifully now! ;) Though cyradm asks me for my password twice before authenticating me, is this normal? Andy H. At 10:49 AM 12/29/2000 +0100, you wrote: >On Thu, Dec 28, 2000 at 07:27:06PM -0600, [EMAIL PROTECT

Re: Cyrus-imapd 2.0.9 all users accept the cyrus password & no others!

Updating myself a bit here... I *was* able to get it to authenticate from my ldap system (which was my main goal) but it seems a bit strange the way its working... Here's what the logs are saying: Dec 26 17:59:58 mailhost imapd[21933]: failed to set plaintext secret for ahubbell_aix_cc: generic f

Cyrus-imapd 2.0.9 all users accept the cyrus password & no others!

Help! Setting up cyrus-imapd 2.0.9 for pam authentication, and everybody fails unless they use the cyrus users's password... Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Andy H. --- PGP public key fingerprint FC3A FD71 8A43 E510 8797 6FD8 918C 1D54 17D9 9EC1
