Qmail, Maildirs and Cyrus
All, I recently Migrated to qmail with maildirs and would like to install Cyrus 2.0.12 on my OpenBSD 2.8 system. However, I can't locate any relevant information of how Cyrus interoperates with Maildir. So I'm looking for a good breakout of how to merge Cyrus with qmail, migrate my maildir email to Cyrus, and a list of problems that can arise and their workarounds. Any help, RTFM's (which FM)?, etc. Would be appreciated. Sam Stern Bethesda, MD, USA

Redhat 7.0 + Cyrus Imap 1.6.25 deliverdb problem
Can anyone shed some light on this problem I'm having. Whenever a message needs to be delivered to more then one recipient in the same deliverdb database file I get a "resource not available" message from the deliver process (in LMTP mode) and the message remains queued. Seems like a db locking problem to me.. The deliver.db files do get created and seem to work ok for duplicate message suppression but I still get this error. I've recompiled cyrus to use the db1 header files instead of the db3 includes and still the same problem. The only difference I really see is when I run configure. The dbopen function never gets located on Redhat 7.0 but is ok on a Redhat 6.2 system. The messages do get delivered eventually but takes a few runs of the queue first. One more weird sympton is that the vacation replies totally ignore the days setting and always send a reply to every message. Yes I know I should upgrade to 2.0.x eventually but I'm ready yet to switch over my production system to it.

I have gone to quite extensive means to try and make it compile. Yes, I have had similar problems, but given time, I was able to work most of these out. I will try to help you as much as I can. I searched the mail list archives and found a posting from Ron Roskens on 3 Jun, 2000 which suggested something like: [CONFIGURATION STUFF DELETED] First, I created a RUNME script that contained all the necessary stuff. It even saves the output to a file for later reference. The most important aspect of the script is that it does set the environment properly to detect the BerkeleyDB library, and it sets the necessary compile time flags to make sure the executable can find the libraries at run-time. Without further ado, here is the script: #!/bin/ksh LOCAL="/usr/local" BERKELEY="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.2" rm -f config.status config.log rm -f configure.output make.output export CC=cc export CFLAGS="-g -I$LOCAL/include -I$BERKELEY/include" export LDFLAGS="-lpthread -L$LOCAL/lib -Wl,-rpath,$LOCAL/lib \ -L$BERKELEY/lib -Wl,-rpath,$BERKELEY/lib" ./configure --with-dbdir=$BERKELEY \ --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \ --with-sasl=/usr/local \ --disable-sieve \ --without-agentx \ --without-zephyr \ | tee configure.output Then I edited the 'imap/Makefile' and added to the DEPLIBS variable the value '/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.0/lib/libdb.a' then the thing actually compiled. But I got the error: With the above configuration, you shouldn't have to do this... in fact, I would start over with freshly unpackaged sources. By the way, I noticed you were using "--with-sasldir" instead of "--with-sasl". The sasldir one does not exist in 2.0.12 from what I can see with configuration help. From the help, the following is listed: --with-sasl=DIRCompile with libsasl in DIR Don't know how to make 'BUILTSOURCES' This one is easy. Edit imap/Makefile.in and go to line 114, which is the PROGS section. You will see the following for the PROGS section, as well as the following BUILTSOURCES section: PROGS = imapd lmtpd pop3d \ fud reconstruct quota \ mbpath ipurge deliver \ ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver \ @IMAP_PROGS@ BUILTSOURCES = imap_err.h pushstats.h lmtpstats.h The problem is that @IMAP_PROGS@ is empty after configuration, which means the line turns into a blank line. The Make program on Compaq simply sees something like the following: ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver \ BUILTSOURCES = imap_err.h pushstats.h lmtpstats.h This makes the BUILTSOURCES section look like it is part of the PROGS section, which is not even in a correct Makefile format. In any the case, it causes an error. The solution is to combine @IMAP_PROGS@ with the previous line and remove the backslash: PROGS = imapd lmtpd pop3d \ fud reconstruct quota \ mbpath ipurge deliver \ ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver @IMAP_PROGS@ BUILTSOURCES = imap_err.h pushstats.h lmtpstats.h Since this is done in Makefile.in, it will persist through all your configuration runs (since Makefile will be created properly). I will be sending in a patch to fix this issue. Some "makes" handle this better than others... but it doesn't hurt to do the above to make it work with them all. So, I gave up. To me it seems like a problem with the Compaq linker 'ld'. I am off to install gcc and see how that goes, I will respond to this posting (for archives sake) to say what happens. In the meantime, if anyone has any pointers for me could you please let me know. My suggestion is to try the above recipe using CC and not GCC. CC will produce much better code on Compaq than what GCC will. Also, I recommend moving to BerkeleyDB 3.2 or something higher than 3.0. Of course, if you are simply upgrading your IMAP server, you may be commited to 3.0 and may not want to upgrade your databases, but still, I recommend upgrading. Incidentally, the above recipe works fine on 5.0a. I haven't had the opportunity to try it on 5.1 yet, but I know I will be in the near future. Good luck!

Ocassional signaled to death by 6 followed by increasing numbers of hung processes
We recently converted our main mail server (30,000+ users) from cyrus-1.6 to cyrus-2.0.12, we had converted a smaller (6000+ users) some time earlier to 2.0.9. We had tried 2.0.9 on this larger server, but that version has severe performance problems with that many mailboxes. Things looked pretty good initially, but after a few days, it stopped responding to POP and IMAP requests. A lsof and a PS showed hundreds of lmtpd processes and increasing. About that time we could get no response at all from the machine and were forced to reboot before we could gather more information. This has happened 4 more times since at intervals of from 1 to 4 days (always during off hours although that may not be significant). One of these times I was able to get in and send a TERM signal to the master process and all shut down fine and things worked fine when I restarted the master process. From this it appears that when a process is aborted in this fashion, some resource is remaining locked causing all new processes (lmtpd, imapd and pop) to hang. On examining the logs, I found that each of these incidents was immediately preceded by the message: "signaled to death by 6" 4 times the process in question was imapd, once it was lmtpd. There was no core file produced, I've since changed the startup script to cd into a directory writeable by cyrus and removed the "ulimit -c 0" from the startup script, but I've not yet gotten a core file to look at. In the meantime, I'm posting this to the list on the off chance someone else has seen and debugged this problem.

I set up a qmail/cyrus impementation a while back and always meant to write up a howto, but never did. Basically, though, qmail has a default delivery agent that's specified (IIRC) as an argument to its startup script. You can't specify deliver directly, so you have to write a wrapper script around it. I think that that will bring you most of the way to where you need to go, but it occurred to me while implenting it that qmail has a real desire to deliver for local users on that system. If you're trying to implement a blavk-box solution, you'll have to go to a lot of effort, using qmail's delivery defaults mechanisms in order to get it to deliver to users who do not have an account on that system. -Bitt

From this it appears that when a process is aborted in this fashion, some resource is remaining locked causing all new processes (lmtpd, imapd and pop) to hang.

On examining the logs, I found that each of these incidents was immediately preceded by the message: "signaled to death by 6" 4 times the process in question was imapd, once it was lmtpd. Signal 6 on my Linux system is SIGABRT, which is usually caused by an assert() failing or an abort() call. This should always dump core. Since imapd does chdir(), it could be dumping core in some user's mailbox; I'd run a find /var/spool/imap -type f -name core to track down the core files and find out what's causing them if they exist (I'm sure you'll have some with that many users). There was no core file produced, I've since changed the startup script to cd into a directory writeable by cyrus and removed the "ulimit -c 0" from the startup script, but I've not yet gotten a core file to look at.

Doing this conversion may solve the symptom but not the problem, and will also cause your CREATE/RENAME/etc. performance to be approximately what it is with v1.6.

Strange vacation behaviour

sieve's homepage.
The first time I sent a mail meeting the rule, a vacation resoponse was
triggered
and after that nothing any more.
Here is my script
-
require ["fileinto","vacation", "reject"];
if allof (header :contains "subject" "Are you there") {
vacation :days 7 "Not really. Please leave a message";
}
if anyof ( address :all :contains ["To", "Cc", "Bcc"]

Recentness algorithm
Lately, I've noticed that things that my mail client has seen before get marked as recent again. That is, I'll change folders to something else and come back to my INBOX and there will be a number of messages that are still marked as recent. I can't intentionally reproduce the problem, but I have seen it a number of times, and it doesn't seem to depend on whether I've read the mail or not or anything else I can determine. This is running 2.0.11 (with the various patches) on OpenBSD 2.8. (Maybe its an mmap problem?) Anyone seen the same problem or have any ideas? -Bitt
Modified drac support patch
I'm attaching a modified version of the patch to add
drac support to Cyrus imapd/pop3d daemons.
It is based in the one included in the contrib
directory of the 2.0.12 distribution.
I have modified the configuration variables
used in imapd.conf to be able to specify at runtime
if one wants to use (or not) drac even when the binary
used is compiled with drac support (before it was always
enabled).
Also the interval in minutes between submissions
to the dracd daemon made by imapd during a user's
IMAP session is now configurable (previously it was
fixed to 5 minutes). It is then now possible to
play with this setting and the -e switch parameter
passed to the dracd daemon.
The relevant imapd.conf options are
dracinterval: 0
If nonzero it enables drac support for imapd and pop3d
indicating then the amount of time in minutes
between submissions to the dracd daemon made by
imapd.
drachost: localhost
The host where the dracd daemon is running.
The instructions to apply it are the same to the
ones included with the original patch. Just
take in account the configuration file you modify
is imapd.conf and not cyrus.conf.
Excuse me for my English.

I searched the mail list archives and found a posting from Ron Roskens on 3 Jun, 2000 which suggested something like: [CONFIGURATION STUFF DELETED] First, I created a RUNME script that contained all the necessary stuff. It even saves the output to a file for later reference. The most important aspect of the script is that it does set the environment properly to detect the BerkeleyDB library, and it sets the necessary compile time flags to make sure the executable can find the libraries at run-time.

But I got the error: With the above configuration, you shouldn't have to do this... in fact, I would start over with freshly unpackaged sources. By the way, I noticed you were using "--with-sasldir" instead of "--with-sasl". The sasldir one does not exist in 2.0.12 from what I can see with configuration help. From the help, the following is listed: --with-sasl=DIRCompile with libsasl in DIR Don't know how to make 'BUILTSOURCES' This one is easy. Edit imap/Makefile.in and go to line 114, which is the PROGS section. You will see the following for the PROGS section, as well as the following BUILTSOURCES section: PROGS = imapd lmtpd pop3d \ fud reconstruct quota \ mbpath ipurge deliver \ ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver \ @IMAP_PROGS@ BUILTSOURCES = imap_err.h pushstats.h lmtpstats.h The problem is that @IMAP_PROGS@ is empty after configuration, which means the line turns into a blank line. The Make program on Compaq simply sees something like the following: ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver \ BUILTSOURCES = imap_err.h pushstats.h lmtpstats.h This makes the BUILTSOURCES section look like it is part of the PROGS section, which is not even in a correct Makefile format. In any the case, it causes an error. The solution is to combine @IMAP_PROGS@ with the previous line and remove the backslash: PROGS = imapd lmtpd pop3d \ fud reconstruct quota \ mbpath ipurge deliver \ ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver @IMAP_PROGS@ BUILTSOURCES = imap_err.h pushstats.h lmtpstats.h Since this is done in Makefile.in, it will persist through all your configuration runs (since Makefile will be created properly). I will be sending in a patch to fix this issue. Some "makes" handle this better than others... but it doesn't hurt to do the above to make it work with them all. So, I gave up. To me it seems like a problem with the Compaq linker 'ld'. I am off to install gcc and see how that goes, I will respond to this posting (for archives sake) to say what happens. In the meantime, if anyone has any pointers for me could you please let me know. My suggestion is to try the above recipe using CC and not GCC. CC will produce much better code on Compaq than what GCC will. Also, I recommend moving to BerkeleyDB 3.2 or something higher than 3.0. Of course, if you are simply upgrading your IMAP server, you may be commited to 3.0 and may not want to upgrade your databases, but still, I recommend upgrading. Incidentally, the above recipe works fine on 5.0a. I haven't had the opportunity to try it on 5.1 yet, but I know I will be in the near future. Good luck!

Re: Recentness algorithm
If you're using Outlook Express as a mail client then this is a known problem with Outlook Express. You might want to change the folder synchronization settings to none if you want to prevent this behaviour.

The vacation reply will only be sent once during the period selected in your
vacation rule which in this case is once every 7 days.

G'Day, cyrus-imapd-2.0.9 postfix-19991231-pl10 Just wondering if anyone has modified Cyrus to return a Permanent Failure rather than a Temporary Failure when a user has exceeded their quota? On a temporary failure postfix just leaves it in the queue and I would prefer a bounce. I intend to make greater modification to the server with my preferred method of quota handling but I really need a 'quick-fix' at the moment. Any ideas, comments, suggestions? Thanks in advance...
