autocreatequota imap clients
If this question has already been answered, elsewhere, please accept my apologies. In our deployment we make a heavy use of autocreatequota feature of cyrus imap. As I understood autocreatequota implies (among other) that the user can create his INBOX, upon login, if it is not already exist. Initialy I didn't pay much attention, and missed that the task of INBOX creation is left to the client (thought that it was a server task) Unfortunately most of IMAP clients, except Outlook, (don't know about Mulberry) don't follow this concept and responed with Mailbox does not exist, whenever access to INBOX is attempted. [propably because they didn't issue a . CREATE INBOX command] So here is the question: A) Is there any RFC where it is defined if this is a server or client task? B) If this is not defined, is there any special reason to let the client client complete the procedure of INBOX creation? Finally If I proceed to some modifications, in a way to implement the INBOX creation functionality on the server (always if autocreatequota0 and user INBOX does not exist), is something that I must be careful about, a side effect maybe..? Thank you in advance
Cyrus and procmail
Some time ago, I installed cyrus and configured it with sasldb for imap and imaps access. During this and the search for documention I thought that I read someting about cyrus and procmail and postfix. I can remeber that it worked like if you use procmail normal, but instead of forwarding the mails to a local folder, you forward them to cyrus (a cyrus command!?). Maybe you let procmail do what normaly the master.cf of postfix does. Does anyone know anything about that, or am I totaly wrong?

Re: troubleshooting sieve
Hello, You have found what may be the biggest problems with free software. Documentation and Support. Sysadmins such as myself must take these issues into account when deciding upon a platform to use for delivery of services such as email. Using a package such as Cyrus requires a somewhat higher level of knowledge. Quite frankly, if I were to believe the test programs included with cyrus my setup would not be working ( but it is ). Documentation is sadly the last thing that gets done. We here constantly bemoan that fact about our own internal projects, but the problem remains. Once a working service is in place writing down what you did to get it working gets pre-empted by trying to get something else working. All I can say is keep prodding. If you don't get an answer from the list its generally because no one knows the answer. Don't let this stop you from asking though, or digging through the list archive. I've found help on the list myself for a couple of problems. Since I've not used any other IMAP servers I can't compare them to Cyrus. However, Cyrus has worked well for us. We currently have four machines with over five thousand accounts on three of the machines. Our biggest problem is getting a satisfactory turnaround on restoration requests. We have a new backup/restore product we hope to implement soon which we believe will help. We have had other problems to be sure, but frankly, you will have problems with any software. I would say that the people at CMU have done a good job. I do hope though that they listen to your comments and those of others with similar concerns.

I read the docs, asked on the mailing list (this one) etc. but it seems like there's simply no way to tell what's going on. I enabled all the logging, I even tried test (from sieve directory of cyrus source tree). how do people cope with that? I see cyrus being recommended as one of the best imap servers (and when it works it works, I didn't have any troubles) but to set it up or do any changes is basically impossible. e.g. this time I changed the sieve script, made a typo and it didn't work, all I've got is the following message: Feb 1 00:30:13 localhost deliver[23370]: sieve runtime error for erik id bgISrC.A.pyC.YElW8@murphy: Fileinto: Mailbox does not exist indicates what's going on but is not particularly helpful. it doesn't say where it tries to deliver the message. another example: I ran test (from sieve subtree) and changed the order of script and test message (my fault), but all it says it: line 1: parse error. WTF? so I started a debugger but I couldn't get to where the error actually occurs (it was in yyparse for which there is no source). I solved the problem but it was extremely unpleasant, made worse by the fact that program could have easily provided all the important info (I also had number of other similar troubles, including inability of using any other authentification method but sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb, I haven't solved that one yet). Q: how do other people cope with troubleshooting problems of cyrus (and mainly sieve)? Are there any tools that I am not aware of? Is it getting better (the above is with older cyrus/sieve (test is from 2.0.16, real sieve from 1.6.x, but says 2.0 in X-sieve header). TIA! erik
sendmail + IMAP enormous delay of messages
Dear all, I run a cyrus IMAP server on SuSE Linux 7.0. When I send an email to a user of the machine without IMAP (the standard sendmail configuration), the email arrives within one minute. But when I activate the IMAP server and tell sendmail to forward the messages to the IMAP mailbox, the messages arrive with a dealy of up to one hour or even more. A glance into the /etc/log/mail file shows, that the mail obvously is tried to be delivered imediately, but it is not. The message: Authentication warning: the host mailrelay.old_domain claims to be mailrelay.new_domain... (Here the outgoing mailserver of the provider is treated - there are two domains, one old and one new one. - both are still valid). And then, one hour or even more later, the /etc/log/mail file shows the delivering of the message to the IMAP mailbox. Does anybody has an idea whats going on there. And there is a second problem: The sendmail does not accept e-mails that are coming from foreign domains. I suppose, that is a configuration problem of sendmail. Can you give me a hint where to look?

imapd + tls/ssl + chain certificate
Howdy, Saw some messages about this in the archive, but nothing with a solution, so... I'll ask. I have Cyrus IMAPd 2.0.16 (FreeBSD 4.5 which comes with OpenSSL 0.9.6a) running fine with a self-signed cert. Finally got my signed cert back today from the CA, Entrust, and discovered that they need a chain certificate (their root CA is GTE). This works fine with Apache+mod_ssl using the SSLCertificateChainFile option, but I need to somehow tell IMAPd about the chain. I tried specifying the chain cert as the tls_ca_file, but that doesn't do it.

Re: DB vs. Flat File
Doing a ctl_mboxlist -u is very I/O intensive, so, if you have the ability to use a memory based filesystem do do the conversion on then use it. On Solaris our /tmp is such a FS, so we used ctl_mboxlist -u -f /tmp/mailboxes.db /tmp/mailboxes.tmp to do the conversion and it took around 10 minutes, doing it on a normal FS looked like it was going to take 2-3 hours. We have around 34,800 entries in our mailboxes.db file. Needless to say, you must do this with cyrus down... -chris On Monday, February 4, 2002, at 12:01 PM, Connie S.

msaslpasswd (or multiple db file saslpasswd)
Well the first cut of the tool is done any brave souls who wish to try it. ftp://pooh.urbanrage.com/pub/c/msaslpasswd.tar.gz Please if you are going to try it, read the README file. There are things that you have to do by hand (i.e. library locations) and files that you have to copy, didn't feel like adding a make install. It might not be too bad to autoconf it since it could probably use the sasl configure. In a nutshell it's the saslpasswd_v1 and saslpasswd_v2 wrapped in a dynamic layer to avoid symbol clashing. It has some ugliness, but it seems to work (only done minor testing on it). I didn't make a converter as someone pointed out the dbconverter-2 already exists in sasl_v2. I didn't make the combined lister as no one seemed to have a need greater then what sasldblister and sasldblister2 provide. I have compiled and successfully run it under debian linux (i386) and solaris 2.5.1 (sparc). Have fun, let me know of any massive shortcomings. Be advised this is experimental software, use it at your own risk. Backup your data before using this tool. Eric

No action from Sieve
Hi all I managed to get cyrus (imapd 2.0.16 + sasl 1.5.27) and postfix up and running, and as far as sending and receiving mail to and from the Internet is concerned, all seems OK. I then set an unconditional reject rule by means of websieve, but, nevertheless, the mail still runs into the users mailbox, and the sender gets no rejection - in other words, the rejct rule is not reckognized. The only suspicious item from any logfile is, that in imapd.log a message runs in, that timsieved is terminated by exit 75. This error code seems to be more or less some universal garbage can for all the cases where the programmer didnt care to construct a specific exit code, but with a little messing with the exit codes I realized, that the original exit code in my case was 255 (or -1). I located its origin to to module lex.c, routine timlex around line 171, i.e. the prot_getc returned a -1. Unfortunately, I have been away from C programming for a long time, and must -cryingly - confess my inability to figure out what this routine is doing in the first place. It migth even be some totally harmless stuff as the routine encountered end-of file or something, I have no idea about this, or as to wether it has something to do with my real problem. It was however the only suspicious track, and it soon got cold. It really looks like the reject rule is ok and in proper place, then way the #@¤!! does it not work ?? Also, here as in most other exit situations in timsieved, a nice error message is set up, in this cas Error reading character. Where do these messages go, if anywhere at all ? I do not find them i any logfile. Hope anyone can get me off the hook here - any help appreciated. Tnx in advance. Joern W. Andersen, ICCC Copenhagen

as of last Friday, and has since quit. I have recompiled, re-installed,
re-configured, un-configured, changed delivery, etc. I can't use just the
deliver program because of other known issues, so I deliver via lmtp.
You will notice the w flag has been added to the mailer so that people
can use their '.forward' file, but that has always heen there. I added it
on a test system, as the standard .mc file does not have it, and it
stopped sending vacation replies as well. Subsequent removal of it does
not make the problem go away... and besides that, it worked with that flag
there for almost six months before breaking for some unknown reason.
Help? Please.. :-)

Messages expire on arrival
Hi Folks, First post, so be gentle! We've been running cyrus on our Linux mailserver for quite a while now, but a new problem has reared its head. (Fortunately it's me that is having the problem and not our users, since I don't know how to fix it!) My colleague says he has the problem occasionally, but hasn't yet found the source, or fix. The past few days, I've been having problems with email messages (some - not all) expiring on receipt. At first it seemed to be messages from a particular source, but that pattern has dissappeared, (2 of 3 messages from this list subscription process expired this morning before I got a chance to read them!) The message from the mail client (MS Outlook Express/IMAP) is Message is no longer available on the server, but it is. The messages can always be read directly from my mailbox. Using reconstruct doesn't fix the problem, but deleting cyrus.* from my inbox and then doing a reconstruct does but, of course, this changes all my messages to unread. Funnily enough (no it's not at all funny really!) it's only new messages which expire, none of my old stuff does. Hints, tips, anyone? John

There are several ways to hand mails over to cyrus. First, the master(8)
process has be to up and running. Then you may either give it mails via
lmtpd(8) or deliver(8) (which is only a wrapper for LMTP delivery). Handing
deliver a mail is as postfixes master.cf suggests:

No, it isn't standardized, but this is generally a server task. The only reason Cyrus allows the autocreatequota option is because of some strange transitioning things that happen at CMU. B) If this is not defined, is there any special reason to let the client client complete the procedure of INBOX creation? Finally If I proceed to some modifications, in a way to implement the INBOX creation functionality on the server (always if autocreatequota0 and user INBOX does not exist), is something that I must be careful about, a side effect maybe..?

We basically report the parse errors that Yacc gives us. it often does report it but not always. and test program ignores them! The test program ignores what? the test (in sieve subdirectory) ignores sieve error messages, just prints error numbers which is not very helpful. the error messages are visible when debugging the test program but they are not printed. one such example is when one message matches two reject rules, the error message says something about two matches for reject but test only prints number (one can look up the number in one of the include files but it doesn't say anything). that's a separate problem from the parse errors, those are missing completely (some), you can see comments in sieve (yacc file, IIRC) that the error message should be set but it's not... [...] 2. if sieve does not have good error reporting then how do you debug the programs that generate sieve files? Sieve's formal grammar is not particularly difficult; it really isn't very hard to write a program that correctly generates scripts. it can be quite tricky when you don't see what's going on. e.g. the above mention two reject rules, or my another mistake when I used mail message as sieve file (it says parse error on line one, doesn't say which file it was processing, where exactly the error was etc.) - silly errors but can take quite some time to figure out by just staring at the monitor. If the error was reported properly (givin enough information) both these problems would be non-issues (solved in a matter of seconds). getting the information from cyrus (what's going on, errors etc.) is the worst part of cyrus, that's not only my opinion, all other people that I discussed the configuration of cyrus had the same problems. I agree error reporting could be improved. It's all a matter of time. note that this is NOT a documentation problem, docs could be better as well but they are generally fairly OK, this is the problem of programs reporting their status. I'd be willing to add some error messages at least in sieve (that's were it's needed most, IMO), how's the policy on accepting patches? You send 'em to [EMAIL PROTECTED], we usually apply them or at least try to communicate what we don't like.

The PLAIN mech is not a problem for me since I have a sealed server, right? If I configure PAM to use a remote LDAP server with TLS, I should also be secure concerning the network wire.

Re: Postfix + Cyrus problem.
did you create the mailbox in cyrus-imap?
you need to create the mailbox with cyradm. once logged into cyradm,
you need to run:
cm user/user@mydomainname
sam user/user@mydomainname $admins all
in your /etc/postfix/virtual, you need
mydomainname anything
user@mydomainname user\\\@mydomainname
$admins is the admins user specified in /etc/imapd.conf

Also, when doing this my /var/imap/db/log.01 file grows wich gives me
the feeling that postfix is doing what it should.
Also, i can connect to my imapserver with the user mrtester and get a
Inbox and Trash folder. However, i cant drag n drop anything to this
inbox, (my program says No such folder: Inbox)neither can i create new
folders.
Also, under the sieve database /var/imap/sive/m there is no mrtester
mailbox. In fact none of the users that i have created with cyradm (and
could list with cyradm) exsits.
Are these created with the first mail or ?
Im using the srcrpms from: http://rmrpms.tripod.com/cyrus-imapd/

Re: DB vs. Flat File
The database(s) we're talking about here are the mboxlist, the deliver database, the tls_session database. In general, the mboxlist one is the one that causes people the most problems. It is read intensive. Forcing IPC for each read operation for the mboxlist will not improve server throughput. While forcing write operations through a seperate process would be acceptable, it still means that the inter-process synchronization problems have to be taken care of. I guess I'd need more details of what you're proposing before I can truly evaluate it. Larry Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 18:39:39 + From: Nuno Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] A couple of mounths back someone contributed the (IMHO great) idea of implementing a daemon that takes care of updating the database assync. This as several advantages: - abstraction layer between the main programs and the DB; - easy of writing new DB plugins (skiplist, mysql, berkeleyDB, ...); - *very high* response time for write operations; - the daemon can optimize the writes to the DB; - the daemon keeps a WAL (log) of to-do operations, so the layer is reliable in terms of replies to the main program and writes to the DB; - simple communication dialect between the main program and the daemon. Do you have some thoughts about this that i'm overlooking? For big installations this seems to be the perfect (?) answer :)

From: Theodore Knab [EMAIL PROTECTED] I created a shell account for one user. From there I ran a sh mboxtocyrus /var/spool/mail/. Mail for this user works. Additional users where created differently. Others do not have shell accounts. I set their password: % saslpasswd s Although all users can log into the server and create folders, only the first user with a shell account can receive email. I thought that cyrus does not need shell accounts. How do I get around this ? I am using exim as for my MTA. The problem is not with cyrus, but with exim. Your current setup of exim expects users to have a shell account on the server. You need to setup virtual users in exim, so that it will allow your cyrus users to receive mail. Scot

Re: How to let users change their password ?
Someone did a patch for saslpasswd that would allow it to be run non-suid, with the original password and then the replacement password supplied on standard input (for a web CGI).

Sysadmins such as myself must take these issues into account when deciding upon a platform to use for delivery of services such as email.

Documentation is sadly the last thing that gets done. We here constantly bemoan that fact about our own internal projects, but the problem remains. Once a working service is in place writing down what you did to get it working gets pre-empted by trying to get something else working. And the obvious, if sometimes painful, solution to that is to require the documentation up-front. I found out an awful long time ago that writing the documentation up front had distinct advantages. The software product winds up more well thought out and is ultimately a better product. It's funny, but until you can state in coherent english what the thing is going to do and how it's going to work it's much harder to code. Then when it's time to code you make the program match the documentation. If you discover that the code need to diverge from what you've documented you need to correct the docs before continuing the code development. I require it of myself and anyone that writes any software for me. Oh there's plenty of wailing and knashing of teeth the first time some programmer is hit with the documentation requirement, but after a couple of times they've all come back and admitted that it really was easier to write the code when the docs were done first. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Jim Levie email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dynetics Inc, Huntsville, Al Ph.256.964.4337 The opinions expressed above are just that...

Some mail clients, notably Netscape Messenger 4.7X, don't work reliably with the standard Cyrus namespace. However, as Ken pointed out, using the altnamespace option in Cyrus 2.1.1 will cause the server to report subdirectories of the INBOX as existing at the same level as the INBOX. So, the structure above would still be the same on disk, but mail clients would see: /INBOX /archive The only limitation with this approach is that now the INBOX never appears to have any subfolders.

RE: Signaled to Death by 11
Follow up: I have discovered 'my' problem with the Signaled to Death. It turned out to be the kernel. I prefer to update a new install with the latest 'stable' version of the kernel, however, it appears that the later kernels have problems with the virutal memory. I use redhat so I reverted to the latest Redhat kernel (2.4.9-21) and everything is working like a champ. Here is a breakdown of how I configured.\ 1. Install redhat with all available/needed rpms. 2. Upgrade the kernel to 2.4.9-21 (if using redhat) 2. Create an additional link /usr/lib/libdb-3.so - /usr/lib/libdb-3.2.so 3. Get the src rpm for cyrus-sasl and force it to use db-3 in the configure.in and in the spec file. 4. Rebuild sasl and re-install (either rpm -e all cyrus-sasl* or rpm -U) 5. Rebuild cyrus-imap and force it to use db3 6. Install cyrus-imap You should be on your way...I had 6 server with the same problem and once the above steps were done, all have been running with no errors for over 2 weeks now ( I was seeing 4 to 5 deaths per day). As for the kernel, I just get the kernel-source-2.4.9-21.i386.rpm which installs the kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux-2.4 and re-compile. This way I can remove all junk I don't need. From what I understand, the redhat kernels have the ac patches which revert back to the old virutal memory code. If anyone would like my rpm-spec files for sasl and imap, I will be glad to post them or send them directly. Vernon Fort -Original Message- From: Vernon A.. Fort Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Signaled to Death by 11 I had another thought. 1. I use postfix and cyrus-imap 2. Both running processes are called master 3. Since I recompled using db-3, the death messages much less frequent. 4. using the pidof command reports the postfix master when cyrus is down even when you specify the full path pidof /usr/cyrus/bin/master when postfix is running, it reports the postfix command. Someone on the postfix users group stated he renamed the cyrus master form master to cyrusmaster and some of his problems went away. I noticed the past few morning that the cyrus/master was reporting the lmtpd signal on 3 different servers and all between 4 and 6am. I wonder if some system shell scripts running out of cron (the /etc/cron.daily, hourly, etc) are trying to send a -HUP signal to the postfix master and since I always stary cyrus first, its getting the cyrus master instead. Most cron scripts use the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions which function uses the pidof command throughout. On one server I have renamed the cyrus/master to /usr/cyrus/bin/cyrusmaster and everything still seems to be functional from the email perspective. Mail still gets delivered and users can still pop and or imap. Each one of these server reports the death each morning.

Re: cyrus with openldap - documentation?
Try cyrus-utils.sf.net - faq. It contains a lot of info that's ldap relevant.
IDEA (not tested)
Remember that with ol2 you can put all passwords in sasl and reference them with
{sasl} in user password. If you do this, you can then set the
sasl_password_check option in imapd.conf to sasldb and essestially not use
openldap for checking passwords, but only for adding and modifying users.
I think that doing things this way would probably be cool and quite hasslefree.

Re: Messages expire on arrival
From: John D. Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] We've been running cyrus on our Linux mailserver for quite a while now, but a new problem has reared its head. (Fortunately it's me that is having the problem and not our users, since I don't know how to fix it!) My colleague says he has the problem occasionally, but hasn't yet found the source, or fix. The past few days, I've been having problems with email messages (some - not all) expiring on receipt. At first it seemed to be messages from a particular source, but that pattern has dissappeared, (2 of 3 messages from this list subscription process expired this morning before I got a chance to read them!) The message from the mail client (MS Outlook Express/IMAP) is Message is no longer available on the server, but it is. The messages can always be read directly from my mailbox. Using reconstruct doesn't fix the problem, but deleting cyrus.* from my inbox and then doing a reconstruct does but, of course, this changes all my messages to unread. Funnily enough (no it's not at all funny really!) it's only new messages which expire, none of my old stuff does. Hints, tips, anyone? It's a problem with the Outlook Express client. Instead of deleting the cyrus.* files from the server, do the following in Outlook Express: 1. Right click on the folder and choose properties. 2. Select the Local File tab. 3. Click the Delete Button to remove all headers and message bodies from the local cache file. 4. Click Compact to free the wasted space 5. Click OK 6. Now resync the folder. No messages are lost, and your seen state is kept. Scot
