Re: IMP vs. SquirrelMail for Web Mail?

They pretty well have similar functionality including LDAP lookups. IMP does require an SQL server to store user session data while SM uses flat files.. I would recommend that you just install both and try them out.. They don't interfere with each other... It's user preference.. I myself prefer IMP for it's speed and other cosmetic issues..

Re: repeated authentication
From: "Christoph Andreas" [EMAIL PROTECTED] we use cyrus 1.5.19, OpenLDAP 1.2, postfix-19991231-pl06 on SuSE Linux 6.4 and Netscape Messenger 4.75 as client and everything works quite well. Although I configured Netscape to save passwords the Netscape Mail Notification tool asks every user randomly for his password (approximately 4-5 times a day). There is nothing to find about that in /var/log/messages and /var/log/mail. Could anybody tell me if this is a bug in Netscape (it wouldn't be the only one) or a feature in cyrus (and if this is one how it can be turned off). Netscape Messenger doesn't save the SMTP AUTH password, thus you have to enter it each time you start it. I did find a configuration option that you can add to prefs.js file that will disable SMTP AUTH in Netscape Messenger. I'm not near the computer where I tried the setting on. When I am near that system I'll post the config option. Scot

Marcel,
Here's how you add subfolders of Inbox [in Netscape] in Pine:
in .pinerc file, there's an entry called "incoming-folders="
you add these lines to it:
incoming-folders="Friends"{imap.mydomain.edu/user=mylogin}INBOX.Friends,
"Humor"{imap.mydomain.edu/user=mylogin}INBOX.Humor
assuming Friends and Humor sub folder of Inbox and imap.mydoamin.edu
is my imap server and mylogin is my imap login name.
or, once you have Incoming Folders set uo in Pine, use the "Add"
option to add more folders.

signaled to death by 11
Hi all. I am running Cyrus-2.0.9 and untill some time ago the Cyrus server was working fine. I upgraded postfix so I could use LMTP and restarted master now nothing works any more I get signaled to death by 11 if I try to access over imap or pop3 I had similar problems last week on another box but I thought it was some library issue since Cyrus has been working on this box for over a month.

So... How do I unsubscribe?
Despite last weeks thread on making it a bit clearer/easier for people to unsubscribe from this mailling list, I am now in that position myself. I have lost my original 'welcome to the list' mail years ago, and I can't seem to find any instructions on how to subscribe/unsubscribe in any of the following places : - The mail headers - The non-existant mail footer (like most other mailling lists have) - The website - ah! hold on - it's hidden under 'Contacts' - not very intuitive (IMO). Eventually, it has taken me about 15 minutes to unsubscribe (and a couple of minutes to whinge about how hard it was to find the unsubscription information). Surely it could be made _much_ easier for people by simply adding a message like 'For unsubscription and list archive information, visit http://asg2.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/contacts.html' to the bottom of list emails. Even better - switch to majordomo ;) Anyway. I'm off travelling for a year ;) See you in 2002. -- Ross Free your desktop - http://www.freedesktop.org/
IMAP 2.0.9/SASL 1.5.24 Auth Issues
I am about at wits end with this, so I need to seek help. I have been trying to get on this list for some time, so I hope this message gets there. I have compiled up the Cyrus IMAP server (2.0.9) on Tru64 5.0a. It is using the SASL libraries (1.5.24) for authentication. The IMAP capability command produces the following: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE AUTH=ANONYMOUS AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 The only authentication method that has worked so far is ANONYMOUS. All of the other methods give me "NO authentication failure" followed by a "Authentication failed. generic failure". I have a /etc/sasldb file, owned by cyrus, and populated using saslpasswd (with "root" and "sadkins" accounts). The sasldblistusers commands produce the following output: user: root realm: cats.ohiou.edu mech: DIGEST-MD5 user: sadkins realm: cats.ohiou.edu mech: PLAIN user: sadkins realm: cats.ohiou.edu mech: CRAM-MD5 user: root realm: cats.ohiou.edu mech: PLAIN user: root realm: cats.ohiou.edu mech: CRAM-MD5 user: sadkins realm: cats.ohiou.edu mech: DIGEST-MD5 The /usr/lib/sasl/Cyrus.conf file lists the following: pwcheck_method: sia The /etc/imapd.conf also lists a line "sasl_pwcheck_method: sia". However, using imtest or telnetting to the port directly, I choose other auth mechs as well, and they all fail (except anonymous). I suspected the SASL library was at fault, but here is the clincher. I also compiled up the latest IMSP server, which uses the same libraries. It uses the "sia" mech as well (which is the password file lookup mechanism for Tru64). I can authenticate just fine on the IMSP server. I even had suspected at one time or another that maybe SASL authentication was failing on the IMSP server and that it was defaulting to a local authentication scheme, but after debugging the server a little bit, I proved that IMSP was indeed using SASL for its authentication, and that it was authenticating successfully (where-as, the IMAP server is failing). So, does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong here? I am at a total loss here... Thanks, Scott -- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ Scott W.

Re: folder delete permissions
I've brought this up several times before, but I'd like to offer it again. I think that the current ACL permission of CREATE for being able to delete folders is better than the old right of DELETE, but I think that it's still wrong. The IMAP Extensions group in the IETF has a rework of ACLs in its charter. That's the best place to discuss this issue. The mailing list is at [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Make problems
I am trying to install Cyrus-imap-2.0.11.tar.gz and had a problem with the inital ./configure, basically I got the "cyrus needs Berkeley 3.x get it at sleepy cat blah blah" I am on a RH7.0 box and cyrus-sasl and Berkeley3 is already installed in RPM format. So fine, I decided to compile Berkeley 3.2 from tar. That went fine, but I still got the "cyrus needs Berkeley" same error. So I was reading the archives and saw someone had just copied the /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.2/lib/libdb.a file to the /usr/lib directory effectivly overwritting the old one. So I tried that and holy crap it worked!

To disable SMTP AUTH in Netscape, you need to edit the prefs.js file and

Re: Make problems
Don't worry... you didn't installed the BerkeleyDB incorrectly, Cyrus just doesn't know the default path to BerkeleyDB 3.x. One quick way to compile Cyrus with BerkeleyDB 3 is to simply copy the libs and include files to where you untarred Cyrus. On my system (FreeBSD 4.2/BerkeleyDB 3.1) I did this (while in the cyrus-imapd-2.0.11 directory after untarring): cp /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/lib/* ./lib cp /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include/* ./include After that you should be able to compile and install without any trouble. -David - Original Message - From: James Presley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Cyrus Info Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 1:59 PM Subject: Make problems I am trying to install Cyrus-imap-2.0.11.tar.gz and had a problem with the inital ./configure, basically I got the "cyrus needs Berkeley 3.x get it at sleepy cat blah blah" I am on a RH7.0 box and cyrus-sasl and Berkeley3 is already installed in RPM format.

Performance Question cyrus-imapd 2.0.11
Greetings, Ok, time for another question... We are running a mail system (ISP) with just a bit over 4000 mailboxes at present... Our exact configuration is as follows: RedHat Linux 7.0 + patches, postfix snapshot 20010204 (MTA), and cyrus-imapd 2.0.11 system is a dual PIII 800 with 512mb ram, hardware mirrored 18 gig ultra scsi disks. Additional configuration information, postfix is configured to virus scan (amavis Kaspersky AVPDaemon/AVPDaemonClient) then passes it back for lmtp delivery via unix socket. This is working quite well so far, but I have noticed performance slowdowns when a large amount of mail gets dumped on us at once... The main reason I'm asking is because we have an email list that goes to every customer who has a mailbox on our system, and when we send even a small email to the list it can take up to 3 hours for the system to finish processing and delivering to all of the mailboxes... Is there any way to drastically improve the performance of this system? Can cyrus-imapd perform some kind of directory hashing that I can turn on like postfix and other MTA's support? I understand the issues with linux and large directories, so this is why I'm asking about the hashing... I'm willing to listen to any tips, even up to changing the hardware set-up somewhat I somewhat under-estimated the size and load of this mail system when I first designed it and need to come up with a solution we can live with going forward as we grow. I've considered the possibility of switching to qmail vs. postfix, but it seems that the responsibility for delivery lies with cyrus lmtpd... TIA!
