As far as I have understand the docs, saslpasswd2 _always_ takes the domain name of the local machine if you don't set it at the command line when initialising the password. That is a pitfall, if you change it after having implememted your mailusers. That is because password is correct, but login doesn't match anymore. Think it over, Sergey, how should sasl destinguish between [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have user.name, too? Does it belong to domain.one, domain.two, all or none? cu Sascha --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Hi Warrick, seen information is saved at server side for imap and pop3, too. If you have moved the server sided pop3 mailboxes using a mailclient tool, this information might have changed, so they have the status not seen and outlook behaves right. If you have moved them at filesystem level their status should not have changed and outlook misbehaves. cu Sascha --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Let's say you have two POP3 clients one set to leave mail on the server for a week and one set to leave mail on the server for a day. If the one that's leaving thing on the server for a week pick's up mail, the other is not effected in any way .. and you're messages are not marked as seen in any way. Are you sure POP3 has seen state on the server? Hi again, I am no expert and I do not know the correspondig rfcs without looking them up, but that is what my experience is. This is what I can remember: If I (somehow) have downloaded from the pop3 server but not flushed emails, they stay at the server which I have prooven by telneting to it and asked the server myself. I had to tell fetchmail the fetchall keyword which is Fetch all messages wether seen or not to get them, too, and not only new, unseen mails. ...I don't know how outlook behaves at such, but this shows pop3 _has_ a seen state. cu Sascha --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

suppress cyrus version information possible?
Hi, when sending email over cyrus imap, it gives full information about version. So, an attacker has just to telnet at port 25 to see if his bunch of exploits fits to it. That is a dangerous and I would like to suppress all version information, even that it is cyrus answering, if possible. Can you do that by just configuring it somehow, or does it need a patch? cu Sascha --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

I think you have to create a mailbox list with a suitable script. Then you can remove the mailboxes.db and import the mailbox list into a new mailboxes.db. Hi Simon and others, the script is already done and waiting to be run :) I am just unsure if this single action does the trick and no harm. What are the other db files at /var/lib/cyrus/db for?

mails in shared folder mailboxes don't show up
Hi, I have problems listing mails at shared folders. Let me describe the way how I came to it: I have set up a debian testing email server with cyrus and the testuser sascha works fine, cyrus is at version 2.1.16 from the debian package system. I am to copy all mailboxes and shared folders from an Suse Email Server 3, cyrus at version 2.0.16, to it. The old server has user mailboxes at /var/spool/imap/user/wuestemann for example and shared folders at e. g. /var/spool/imap/shared_folder. Indeed there are hundreds of each. I have sasl2passwd' all users and they can be identified by pam_ldap, too, e.g id wuestemann works (wuestemann is not at /etc/passwd). I have dumped the old mailbox.db and pumped it into cyrus 2.1.16 using ctl_mboxlist. I have rsynced the mailboxes to the new server to for example /var/spool/cyrus/mail/s/user/sascha and the shared folders to e.g. /var/spool/cyrus/mail/s/shared_folder. I have written a script to collect all shared folder names and all user mailboxes to pipe them to a file like this: shared_folder user.sascha stopped all mail depending services, sued to cyrus and run for i in `cat file`; do reconstruct -rf $i; done and restarted the stopped services. Now I can use imap capable clients to test user logins concerning the emails they should have, and I have noticed, that there is one problem I have encountered so far. mailadmin, a pseudo user running sieve scripts, which is at all groups and subscribed to none, can see all folders at the new server like he does at the old because of being member of all groups and all folders, shared folder and user mailboxes have this user with admin ACLs. But, if descending to subdirectories of shared folders at the new server, there are no mails listed, the folders seem empty, but they aren't. This is not the case for mailadmin at his inbox nor at user mailboxes and their subfolders, mails do show up there, for example at user/wuestemann. I can not find errors referring to this at mail nor syslog - everthing seems normal. What have I missed? Why isn't mailadmin capable to see mails at shared folders? What to do to get this done? cu Sascha --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
