Re: cyrus + postfix + lmtpd questions

I just want to get this straight. Please, someone clarify his to me. Consider Cyrus and Postifx runing on different servers and having to communicate with each other through lmtp. 1) Here´s the line we all know from cyrus.conf that is gonna bring lmtp listening on tcp: lmtp          cmd="/usr/loc

Re: Metapartitions

Danke Marc, clearer now. And sure, I'll take answers from anyone. About this: >What do you think files named "header", "index", "cache", "expunge" and >"squat" in this context contain? ;) Ich denke this are the cyrus header index and cache files generally stored on each mailbox folder. I can im

Thanks Andrew, Last question if you let me: What criteria is generally used for which maiolboxes will be created on what back end server ? Thanks Diego On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 8:10 PM, Andrew Morgan wrote: > On Mon, 15 Mar 2010, Diego Ventrice wrote: > > John, >> >>

Re: Info-cyrus Digest, Vol 56, Issue 14
