Re: Qmail, Maildirs and Cyrus

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.
Not really, you can use /var/qmail/users/assign (see man qmail-users) to
accomplish that effortlessly for individual addresses or for all of them. In
my case I have
+:alias:uid of alias user:gid of mail group:/var/qmail/alias:-::
in /var/qmail/users/assign (don't forget ro run qmail-newu each time you
modify this file).
This tells qmail that mail for all users is handled by the alias user,
and then
| ./deliver-wrapper
in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default
Someone posted here a deliver wrapper for qmail, this is
my version of it
(note that the Q option doesn't exist in deliver, I wrote
a patch against 1.6.24 to tell delivery that Qmail is being used and the
sender
envelope address is in an environment variable, so sieve vacation
will work even without LMTP).

Sieve , fileinto question
Hi. Its 2 days since I moved my Netscape Messanger based filters to Sieve. Life is calm now :) One small question. Is there a way that I can find a summary at the end of the day about all the messages that were fileinto'd some folder, so I dont have to go to each folder and look for newer mails. Netscape Messager keeps a log of all moves based on filters. Is it also possible with Sieve? thanks -- Atif Ghaffar

I might use the notify_unix.c implementation which writes the notify messages to a UNIX socket, and write some simple daemon (see contrib/notify_unix.pl) which grabs the messages and logs them to a file.

sendmail/Cyrus double-CR problem
I'm running Cyrus IMAP on RedHat 7.0 with sendmail 8.11.0. For a long time I ran Cyrus 1.5.24 but a few days ago I converted to 2.0.12, at the same time changing the sendmail configuration as described in the installation instructions, incorporating the changes in the supplied cyrusv2.mc sendmail prototype file for Cyrus V2. Since then some of my incoming mail messages (retrieved from a POP server via fetchmail and delivered locally, as I've been doing without problem for years) are being corrupted in the following way: a spurious newline appears at the end of a "Received" header, and the headers which follow become part of the message body. I've tracked it down this far: whenever this occurs, it turns out that the problematic header, as retrieved from the POP server and before local processing, contains TWO carriage-returns followed by a single LF, i.e. that header line, and all the lines that follow in the message, are terminated with "\r\r\n" instead of "\r\n". Only that first header, and none of the following lines, have an extra blank line appended after local processing. I never saw this problem before I upgraded Cyrus and changed the sendmail configuration. Furthermore, if I pass the messages to another SMTP host instead of my own, they're correctly delivered into that other host's mail store (a more conventional mbox format). So I'm reasonably sure that my new configuration, and probably the sendmail configuration, is to blame. Sendmail subtleties of this sort are definitely not my area of expertise. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has seen this problem or something similar, and can suggest how I might go about fixing it. The presumably relevant pieces of the sendmail config, lifted straight out of the cyrusv2.mc file, are: define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES')dnl define(`confTO_IDENT',`0')dnl define(`confLOCAL_MAILER',`cyrus')dnl FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER_DEFINITIONS Mcyrus, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n, S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp LOCAL_RULE_0 Rbb + $+ @ $=w . $#cyrus $: + $1

Given the nature of what "-all" and "-none" mean, they probably both need to go and just "tmp.a" would suffice. Anyways, this is exactly what the problem is, which happens to be defined in one of the perl modules associated with MakeMaker.

Now I get a problem in 'perl/imap' something about Bad object file tmp.a(licyrus.a) Bad file magic number . Any ideas? Dave. Yup :-) I actually believe this to be a problem with the Perl installation that comes with Compaq, but I am not sure. I know where to fix it on Compaq, but I also believe that I should *not* do this, and that installing a newer version of Perl in /usr/local would be the better solution (but not always permitted in every environment). So, change to the perl/imap directory and edit Makefile.PL. Go to line 57. Change the 2 following lines as follows: OLD: 'OBJECT'= 'IMAP.o ../../lib/libcyrus.a', 'LIBS'= ["$SASL_LIB -lssl -lcrypto"], NEW: 'OBJECT'= 'IMAP.o', 'LIBS'= ["../lib/libcyrus.a $SASL_LIB -lssl -lcrypto"], The problem on Compaq is that it tries to create a library called tmp.a that contains 2 files, IMAP.o and libcyrus.a. However, when linking, the linker doesn't know what to do with the library within a library issue. With proper reorganization of the linker line in the Makefile, it can be made to work with this issue. However, it would be simpler to just move libcyrus.a to the LIBS section where it belongs. There is no reason for it to get dumped into tmp.a. In addition to the above fix, I tested this on the Solaris platform as well and the above changes work just fine as well... so I will be sending this in as a patch as well. In any the case, I am sure this is the last issue you will be running into. I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem for you, but apparently it was :-) Let us know how it goes!

IMSP v1.6a3
Folks, I'm having trouble trying to build the above to use plain text password authentication on a Solaris 2.5.1 platform. I installed - BerkeleyDB v3.2.9 Cyrus SASL v1.5.24 (all non-required authentication disabled) IMSP v1.6a3 (--with-auth=unix) The IMSP configure seems to finish with an error of sorts. The last few lines are - creating config.h cat: cannot open ./config.h.in config.h is unchanged I think this was reported a month or so back by someone else but the build seems to complete OK anyway. Is this likely to be part of the problem? I can start up the IMSP daemon in stand-alone mode OK with SASL/IMSP setup as follows - SASL setup: linked /usr/local/lib/sasl -/usr/lib/sasl create /usr/lib/sasl/Imsp.conf containing single line pwcheck_method: passwd also create copy as /usr/lib/sasl/Imspd.conf (in case this is the expected name of the file!) IMSP setup: create /var/imsp and /var/imsp/user (permissions?) create /var/imsp/options (permissions?) Telnetting into port 406 invokes the IMSP prompt string and a login attempt produces the following - * OK Cyrus IMSP version 1.6a3 ready 0 login thisuser * 0 NO generic failure A 'get common.*' command will list the common lines from the options file and the 'imsp.create.new.users N +' line is present.

Setup questions...
Hello, I am new to Cyrus, so please bare with... I'm trying to install cyrus using ldap for authentication. We require no encryption of passwords or of the imap sessions. Do we still need to use cyrus-sasl? What is th best method to auth? Pam or pwcheck? I am assuming that if I use pwcheck, the underlying database is irrelevent as pwcheck abstracts that to cyrus. (Meaning it is irrelevent whther we use mysql or ldap as long as the pwcheck script/program handles the auth with mysql/ldap), cprrect? Pwcheck must simply return and OK or an error message, corect? Also, how does pwcheck relate (is it a part of sasl or of cyrus)? I have read almost everything that I can find, but being so new, the docs are a little confusing and sparse at this point of my knowledge level. Thanks in advance for putting up with such trivial questions (to you, but major to me :)) and helping me out. Dan - Sent by Black Hills Fibercom Webmail!
sieve filtering into a program, or a file?
Right now, we're using procmail in order to help a user filter mail ...
basically, if it comes in with a To address of X, file it to a file, else
file it into his imap mailbox ...
Is there some way of doing similar with sieve *or* at least having that

Re: Modified drac support patch
Thanks for the changes. I have attached a slightly modified version of your patch for 2.0.12. I have also checked a similar patch into CVS for inclusion with future releases. My changes: - Use value of 'dracinterval' to enable/disable DRAC at runtime. - Set the default value of 'dracinterval' to 5, since I think that most people who compile Cyrus with DRAC support will tend to use it and expect it to be on. - Disable DRAC at runtime if dracd can not be contacted. Ken Ramiro Morales wrote: 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.
