Message expiration policy question
Hello all, I have a question with message expiration policies. With cyradm I have set several message expiration policies on folders, so that old messages are automatically pruned from the folder. It works pretty well thus far. But I have a question. Does cyrus look at the received date in the message itself, or does it use some sort of file system timestamp (maybe creation date of the file) to determine which messages are expired? The reason I ask is that spam often comes into the mix, and date info in the message header are often forged. So how does Cyrus do this? -- Jason Bailey, Web/IT Administrator Sun Advocate / Emery County Progress [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] (435) 637-0732 (ext 31) Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
Re: Questions... need Sieve primer (SOLVED)
I have the sieveshell working now. I was mis-interpreting the
parameters, thus providing incorrect authentication information.
This worked:
sieveshell -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost
I was doing (which didn't work):
sieveshell -a user -r domain.com localhost
And on a site note, I am using sasldb2 for authentication.

Hello all,
I am familiar with what Sieve does, but have never used it. We now
have a need, and I'm struggling to find info on sieve,

I want a sieve script that moves all mail marked as junk by spam
assassin (x-spam-flag) into the Junk folder (for only one of 4
domains we host).
Is this possible, and if so, is there a good place to look for
help?
I know my Cyrus has sieve support and the directories are defined,
but I don't know how to enable or install the script, and I have few
questions on sieve scripting in general.
Suggestions?
I think so, except I need it to only apply to one mail domain. In
other words, if recipient is part of domain.com1, and X-Spam-Flag is set
to YES, move it into the junk - otherwise do nothing. The reasoning is
that the other domains we host are entirely POP3 based, and mail moved
into junk folders on the server could be detrimental to their work flow.
Sieve is applied per mailbox, not across the whole server. To upload
and enable the sieve script 'mysieve' for mailbox 'joebloggs':
$ sieveshell -a joebloggs -u joebloggs cyrusserver
# Enter joebloggs IMAP / POP password
put mysieve
activate mysieve
list
mysieve - active script
You will have to tune the contents of 'mysieve' to your needs, if you
google 'spamassassin sieve' you should find plenty of examples.

I have been doing some reading in the mean time, and discovered
sieveshell. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to login.
unable to connect to server at /usr/bin/sieveshell line 174, STDIN
line 1.
I checked the logs and it says:

Cyrus is set up to use /etc/sasldb2 for authentication. This is
where I'm the most incapable when it comes to Cyrus. I'm lucky I even
got the software to do what it does now.
In my imapd.conf, I have:

saslauthd is set up to use pam and is running (the default config
for the rpm). I have /etc/pam.d/imap and /etc/pam.d/sieve. But given I
am using /etc/sasldb2, shouldn't it look there before defaulting to
saslauthd in the first place?

Okay... sieve is per mailbox. That actually works out to my benefit.
So how do I get sieveshell to let me login? The authentication
aspects of Cyrus are my weakest spot... I don't know what I'm doing. All
I know is that it won't let me login. Documentation is spotty at best.
What now?
The imaptest works, logins directly through cyrus (or cyradm, for
that matter) work fine. But sieveshell doesn't.
Ideas?

Message expiration policy questions
I've set up some message retention policies (message expiration) on several folders (primarily junk folders), but it got me thinking about the specifics. Do old messages (that are expired) get marked for deletion (and require an expunge), or are they forcibly deleted? I want the messages deleted, not simply marked for deletion. -- Jason Bailey, Web/IT Administrator Sun Advocate / Emery County Progress [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] (435) 637-0732 (ext 31) Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Message retention policies
Is it possible to set up a message retention policy that deletes email that is, say, over a year old from the mailboxes on the server?

Cyrus upgrade, need advice
Hi all, I am preparing to upgrade our production server's operating system, which will also entail replacing Cyrus and SASL with newer, updated versions. I don't have the luxury of installing the upgrades on a new machine and then swapping it with the old one. Rather, I have to reinstall the operating system with the newer one and hope that the data (mail files, personal data, etc, which will be backed up in preparation for the upgrade) will cleanly migrate to the new OS installation. My question is, do I need to do anything special to make this upgrade possible (tips, tricks, advice to avoid problems)? Here are my specs: Old OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (EM64T) New OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (EM64T) Old Cyrus IMAP: 2.2.3 (SLES 9) New Cyrus IMAP: 2.2.12 (SLES 10) Old Cyrus SASL: 2.1.18 (SLES 9) New Cyrus SASL: 2.1.21 (SLES 10) Old Postfix: 2.1.1 (SLES 9) New Postfix: 2.2.9 (SLES 10) I am doing virtual domains. I am using /etc/sasldb2 as my authentication source. Here is my imapd.conf: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap sievedir: /var/lib/sieve admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no virtdomains: userid loginrealms: domain1.com domain2.com doamin3.com lmtp_downcase_rcpt: 1 autocreatequota: 1 reject8bit: no quotawarn: 90 timeout: 30 poptimeout: 10 dracinterval: 0 drachost: localhost allowplaintext: yes sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no unixhierarchysep: yes altnamespace: yes quotawarnkb: 5120 I have the common Postfix + SpamAssassin + ClamAV + avavisd-new, where mail is finally delivered to Cyrus IMAP (after it passes all checks) via LMTP over localhost. I can't imagine Cyrus has changed the way it accepts mail over LMTP (especially localhost connections), but who knows. The fact is, I'm no newbie to Linux, but mail is something I still struggle with a bit, especially Cyrus and SASL (configuring authentication has been my biggest difficulty). However, we have been using Cyrus thus far (with absolutely no problems) for over a year on SLES 9, and have been very pleased with the performance and robustness that we have observed. If I copy my config files over, and copy my current spool structure (Cyrus partition) and the mail db files, is all of the email content going to migrate, or am I going to have to fiddle with it to make it work? Anyhow, do any of you have some advice on migration of the server data? Any tips or tricks to ensure things work without running into snags? It is a production server, so I want to do all that I can to ensure everything works like it is supposed to. Thanks in advance for assistance.
