A problem with sieveshell

2008-07-02 Thread Per Steinar Iversen
I recently moved my Cyrus imapd from RHEL 4 Update 6 to RHEL 5.2 The only problem found so far after the move is with sieveshell, the "-a" option does not work any more. This used to work as expected: sieveshell -a cyrusadmin -u user localhost On the new server this seems to work fine too, but

Cyrus IMAPd 2.3.15 - cvt_cyrusdb changes owner of seen-file

2009-09-13 Thread Per Steinar Iversen
I just upgraded our imap-server to 2.3.15 using the cyrus-imapd-2.3.15-2 rpm made available by Simon Matter (thanks!). The OS is Redhat 5.4 on x86_64. All works well so far, except for one new strangeness: We have a script, run by root, that counts the number of unread mails in inboxes. To be

Supress duplicate delivery supression ?

2004-02-18 Thread Per Steinar Iversen
Is it possible to avoid the use of duplicate delivery suppression? Today our Cyrus imapd had its delivery database corrupted, after that we had no new deliveries. Looking at the log it seems that duplicates are actually detected rather infrequently... I would rather have an occasional duplicate t

Sieve vacation - case sensitive ":addresses" argument?

2004-03-29 Thread Per Steinar Iversen
Is the ":addresses" argument in the Sieve vacation extension case-sensitive? It seems like it matches [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] differently in some of our Sieve scripts. I have looked at draft-showalter-sieve-vacation-05.txt and it does not make this explicit. This with the Sieve

I am looking into using Sieve, we have been using the filtering in the Exim MTA until now on our Cyrus IMAP server. There seems to be some small problems with the Cyrus lmtpd + Sieve combination in our environment, where everyone uses 8 bit characters. Unlike the Sieve vacation command the reject

Outlook 2002 vs. Cyrus 2.1.12

2003-02-08 Thread Per Steinar Iversen
I just tried to copy a large number of messages from an Outlook PST file to an IMAP server running Cyrus 2.1.12, but Outlook 2002 SP2 would not cooperate. As test I then tried copying to an old Cyrus 1.6.22 server - that works! Surely the problem is with Outlook, not Cyrus, still it would be int

The fud-client in cyrus-imapd-2.1.14 seems a little broken, or perhaps it is the fud-server? An example, a user is called "stens" : $ fud-client localhost stens user.stens user: stens mbox: user.stens Number of Recent 0 Last read: Wed Aug 13 11:37:51 2003 Last arrived: Wed Aug 13 13:54:38 2003
