Re: web administration
There is a web interface called Cyrup I believe on Sourceforge that is an administrative page for cyrus + postfix. We've taken it, combined it with exim and split out the original from just an admin page to an admin and user page in order to enable vacation messaging. It works pretty well, might be overkill depending on your mta setup. B On Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:39:57 -0400, Forrest Aldrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nikos Gatsis wrote: Hello list.

Re: Relation of filesystem to Cyrus mailbox structure
look at cyrus' reconstruct. From the man page: ... Reconstruct rebuilds one or more IMAP mailboxes. When invoked with the -m switch, it rebuilds the master mailboxes file. It can be used to recover from almost any sort of data corruption. So you should be able to run (as cyrus) reconstruct -m -r user.janedoe For FYI, if you do a a dump of the mailbox file you *could* manually add the mailboxes/folders and reload the mailbox file etc., but you'd still have to run reconstruct... HTH, B Rick Kunkel wrote: Heya folks, Is there any documentation on how Cyrus mailboxes are structured, as relative to the file system? Man. That's a poorly worded question, but I can't seem to find the best way to say it... I'm used to dealing with mbox mailboxes until very recently. The one thing that mbox format has going for it is that it's really conrete, for lack of a better word. The file in /var/mail/username is the user's inbox; No internal database or whatever. Other folders work similarly. Where I've been stuck recently is trying to figure out things like how to manipulate mailboxes by using the file system. Maybe this isn't really practical using mdir. Here's the latest: I have a user that we migrated from mbox. She has her inbox folder, which migrated fine. Then she has a couple of other folder, which migrated fine. Then she has folders within folders, and those refuse to show up, and it won't let her subscribe to them. Here's how it they're in the filesystem: /var/mail/j/user/janedoe -- Inbox: Migrated fine /var/mail/j/user/janedoe/folder1 -- Also migrated fine /var/mail/j/user/janedoe/folder1/folderA -- I can't get to show I don't think the user really NEEDS the folder called folder1 above, but wants the folders inside of it. So I tried to move folderA back one level so that it was sitting inside the /var/mail/j/user/janedoe folder, but that doesn't work. I figured I had to run a reconstruct command, but no avail there either. I guess the fundamental question here are these: - If I make changes to the file system, how do I get these reflected in Cyrus mailbox views? - Is this even a good idea, or something to be avoided, and done another way? - Is there any documentation on how the Cyrus internal database on mailboxes, quotas, and subscriptions work?

Re: Emergancy..... db4: PANIC: fatal region error
I don't know how many users you have, and there might be a cyrus utility
for this, I can't recall. The quick and dirty fix is something along the
lines of
for i in `sudo -u cyrus ./ctl_mboxlist -d | awk -F'\t' '{print $1}' |
awk -F'.' '{print $2}' | uniq`; do find /var/spool/cyrus -type d -name
$i | xargs mv /var/spool/imap/user/$i; done
This will dump your mailbox to get the list of users, if you have a list
or whatever, you can use that as well, this just meant as an example. I
would suggest not using the mv command the first time to make sure that
it works. This works on my system, no warantees :)

OK, I have cyrus up and running but I can not get into the user

the u/a/user/xxx to the /var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/x. I have set
the proper parm in /etc/imap.conf and also used Debian's
cyrus-makedirs but I was hoping it would move the user mailboxes. Do
I need to do that by hand or does the system do it .. it is the equiv
to the 'makedir', something like that.
The reason is because I am getting

Re: more than one Sieve autoreply per day?
Our solution to this problem was to handle it within the MTA. Don't know about postfix, but with Exim and virtual users, I was able to setup vacataions/autoreplies that came from a mysqdb. HTH B Phil Durbin wrote: That would make it workable. I've been asked for the same thing, and would welcome a solution. I talked to another hi-ed Cyrus IMAP admin and his users have asked for autoreplies as well. It must be a fairly common request. Another aspect of it that has bothered me is that HR typically wants to say your message has been received, but are there situations where the reply is sent and the message not delivered? Disk failure perhaps, or the recipient mailbox over quota. In such cases the message should bounce, but maybe not for a few days, and in the meantime the sender thinks it has been received. The consequences are different than they are for an ordinary vacation notice. It could be more of a legal question than an email question. Right, our autoreply says Your materials have been forwarded to the appropriate department for consideration. I guess it's true enough. . . at least by this point the message has gone through out Postfix and SpamAssassin servers and made it to our Cyrus servers. I'm sure most people receiving the autoreply don't want to hear about the nuances of email delivery, but your point is well taken.

Re: moving message on nearly full mailbox with IMAP
What exactly would dictate a move? Even on many OS's move copies the file, make sure that it is a good copy, and then deletes the original. MOVE still wouldn't handle this case because there still needs to be 2 copies at a given point in time to handle fault tolerance. Just a thought, B Gregg Berkholtz wrote: On Fri, Jul 01, 2005 at 02:00:03PM -0500, John Madden wrote: Because IMAP doesn't provide a move operation for messages. Your client is probably first doing an append of the message to the destination folder (which is what's putting it over quota) then storing the delete flag of the original message and expunging. I'm sure we've all had problems with this. Is it wise to modify these clients to instead FETCH, delete/expunge, then STORE? John Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't FETCH, delete/expunge, STORE pose performance issues for users attempting to move large messages and/or folders, while using a client behind a less than ideal connection (ie: modem, T1, broadband, etc)? With the long-time shift towards the concept of Trash and Recycle Bin. It sounds like the IMAP spec needs a MOVE - if not just for the ability to MOVE very large messages around, or to move messages into the trash when a mailbox is near its quota. Couldn't such a spec change be implemented as an RFC SHOULD, therefore allowing servers and clients the option to implement it.

Re: sieveshell
I am having similar problems, and found out by stracing the timsieved
that the sieveshell connects to, that sieveshell doesn't respect ( at
least in my case) what I pass as -a. If I run as root, it will try to
authenticate as root, if I run as user, then it works fine. -a
apparently has no effect.
On a side note, if sieveshell is saying it can't connect to server, then
you might want to check your settings in cyrus.conf to make sure that a)
sieve is in there, and that b) it's running on port 2000.

Re: manually force delete a mailbox
is spool/user/graeme.mercurycload.net present ( graeme^mercurycloud^net -- not sure on the way it is on disk )? Sounds like some sort of fs error. If you can do nothing else, and it is present, try moving the current directory out of the way, and recreating the directory and then run reconstruct then delete Of course there is always the method of dump mailboxes.db file, edit, reimport, but that won't necessarily solve the underlying cause of your problem, just give you a quick fix to get rid of the mailbox.

double check that /var/imap exists, and if it still fails, try and

Re: Whose fault? vacation messages bounce to postmaster.
I don't see the Reply-To in the headers that you have posted. I would think that this is the cause of your bounces going back to your postmaster.

Do you have multiple versions of Berkeley db on your machine? It might make it easier for this and other programs that link against it to remove all of the berkeley versions prior to 4.1.25 if that is an option.

Re: Advice on transition
There are actual multiple ways to do this. From what I understand you have 2 boxes, one the original server, and a new one. You may want to do this in two stages. Cyrus provides a lot of tools to upgrade between versions. That being said, you may want to replicate Cyrus-2.0.16 on the new box, and then synch everything over, test, and then upgrade. I typically upgrade by specifying the prefix to be /usr/cyrus-version, then soft link /usr/cyrus - /usr/cyrus-version. This allows you to back out on most changes without wipeing out your current install.

Re: Advice on transition
The biggest thing when upgrading this way is if you change the type of layout that you want (ie. fullhashdir, etc.) however, since the distribution has tools to change things around (tools/rehash), I have found that converting the mailboxes a few times will not break anything too severely :) That being said, we usually transfer directories and such using rsync over ssh. Depending on what downtime you can incur for the change out, you may want to set up rsync server, or find another way to transfer over the 4GB (with rsync you are looking at about 1-2 hours over the network (with ssh, possibly faster with just an rsync daemon). However, once the initial transfer is done (which can be done without taking the first server down) you can take down server 1, do an rsync to make sure everything is good in ~5-10 min, and then bring up server2. The important thing is to make sure that you turn off the MTA, this will force incoming mail to get a hard bounce, and either go to the backup mx's or try again for 24-72 hours, which means that people's mail won't be lost while you mess with things. I really think that trying to move and convert in one step may cause more difficulties than it is worth, but many of the steps I mention above will work either way. If all else fails, you can always fail back to server1. Hope this helps, B John Lederer wrote: Robert Scussel wrote: There are actual multiple ways to do this.

Re: Best way to backup cyrus system (lots of inodes!)
On a smaller scale, we use amanda to do nightly backups of the mail spool, and we have successfully recovered after mails have been deleted. With one of our clients, we use standard NetBackup to do nightly backups, which works just as well. As for up to the minute backups though, don't know a good solution which doesn't sacrifice performance.

We are running imap v.2.1.5 and sasl 2.1.7, redhat kernel 2.4.19 The problem is with the seen as well, randomly entire folders will suddenly be marked unread, or parts of folders, etc. In the imapd.log file we have: IOERROR: opening /var/spool/imap/users/username/cyrus.header: No such file or directory which is another problem, as everything is located in /var/spool/imap/user/username/ (cyrus.index|cyrus.header) and our seen files are in /var/spool/imapdb/user/... I don't get the other IOERRORS, at least I don't think so, as the logs provided were unclear. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, B Paul Ramsey wrote: I recently moved my imap archive to a new machine, but with an identical version of cyrus imapd (1.6.24).

Re: Reconstructing Mailboxes - HELP!
Just run :
sudo -u cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d filename
and then after you have moved the old one out of the way (import over
the old doesn't/didn't work well) then just do:
sudo -u cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u filename
Before you start, let me clarify:
remove the files in /var/spool/imapdb/db -- and always do an rsync of
/var/spool/imapdb to somewhere before starting in case things go
horribly wrong.

Outlook 2000 Internet Mail Only causes page fault
Hello all - I have a server running an older version of cyrus (1.6.22 to be exact). The question I have though, shouldn't be specific to this version. The client is using Outlook with the Internet Mail Only option, and when attempting to check their mail, outlook pops up an Invalid Page Fault error. According to Microsoft, this is of course an error with IMAP which can only be solved by creating a new mailbox on the server for the individual. Now, I can access the mailbox fine via Outlook Express, Netscape, command line, etc. Before I go through the hassle of moving this mailbox out of the way, recreating a new one, and then moving all the messages back, can someone explain to me how this happens? Just curious. This is similar to the fixall for Microsoft - if it crashes, reinstall it. Thanks, B -- Robert Scussel 1024D/BAF70959/0036 B19E 86CE 181D 0912 5FCC 92D8 1EA1 BAF7 0959
Re: Disabling email delivery.
Depending on what MTA you are using, you can just remove the user. Exim will lookup the user to see if they exist, before attempting to deliver the email. Therefore, if you change the name/remove the user, then any mail will bounce. As long as you don't touch the actual directory that the user owned, you won't lose the email. You can cp that directory, and delete the user using cyradmin. Hope this helps, B Ed Sanborn wrote: OK, I just took over administration of our Cyrus mail server.

Re: Compile error with Cyrus

Re: Reliable mailstore
There are catches, though. If a mail arrives at the live box, then the user deletes the last mail in the folder, and only then (in time) does the same mail arrive in the backup box, you have two desynched boxes. This shouldn't really happen, since the two boxes should run at the same speed, and the live box has somewhat larger load, but cases like this should be considered. The beauty of email is that there is no guaranteed time of sent/delivered. This means that the proxy that the users connect to, could actually be set on some predefined delay. For example, if the proxy has a 5 minute cache or so, then it can refresh the current contents on the mailserver, take care of both read write commands, ensure synchronization etc. However, you do have a problem if the proxy crashes, although unless it is writing, it would only mean that a user might get a mail that they have already seen.

Re: Issues Upgrading from 2.0.7 to 2.0.16
You have to make sure to rebuild the mailboxes.db file. The easiest way to do this, I can't remember if 2.0.7 has a mailboxes.db or just a flat text mailboxes folder, is to do a dump and then use ctl_mboxlist -u input.file This will recreate the mailbox list. Finally, make sure that you a-z directories in the /var/spool/imapdb/user/ directory. Last but not least, to keep your users happy, make sure to copy and .seen or .sub to the apropriate place. I believe that if you have a user jsmith, this version of cyrus will place jsmith.seen and/or jsmith.sub under /var/spool/imapdb/user/j/. Doing it this way keeps you from having to readd/create every user. Hope this helps. B Anthony Di Paola wrote: Hello, I was wondering how I should go about upgrading from 2.0.7 to 2.0.16.

Any ideas would be helpful... Thanks again. B -- -- Robert Scussel 1024D/BAF70959/0036 B19E 86CE 181D 0912 5FCC 92D8 1EA1 BAF7 0959
Cyrus 2.1.0-SASL No Pam authentication
I decided to move from cyrus 2.0.16 to cyrus 2.1.0. I compiled cyrus with the following command ./configure --with-cyrus-user=cyrus --with-cyrus-group=cyrus --with-cyrus-prefix=/usr/local/cyrus --with-auth=unix --with-openssl=/usr/include --with-sasl=/usr/local/lib I compiled cyrus sasl 2.0.5-Beta with ./configure --enable-krb4=no --enable-anon=no This is after some time of trying to figure out why I continued to get the following error in /var/log/messages Dec 7 17:46:30 longsword imapd[29049]: unkwnown password verifier PAM Dec 7 17:46:30 longsword imapd[29049]: badlogin: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] plaintext rscuss SASL(-4): no mechanism available: checkpass failed My imapd.conf file looks like so: configdirectory: /var/spool/imapdb partition-default: /var/spool/imap sasl_pwcheck_method: PAM reject8bit: no Which appears to work with the cyrus-imap-2.0.16... Am I missing something. Cyrus appears to be working fine, so it leads me to think that it may have something to do with SASL, either the way I compiled it, or I am missing some options. This is running on RH 7.1 with kernel 2.4.14-xfs. When I attempt to login I get: * OK hostname Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.0 server ready a1 LOGIN user passwd a1 NO Login failed: no mechanism available any help would be appreciated. -- Robert Scussel 1024D/BAF70959/0036 B19E 86CE 181D 0912 5FCC 92D8 1EA1 BAF7 0959
