Global admin
I've found that if I have a default domain a cyrus-imap admin that admin can only add mailboxes to his domain, be it with the domain name or without. He cannot add mailboxes on other domains. How would i create a global admin who can add mailboxes as he pleases? -Nigel pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
accents in mailbox names
Hi :) I'm using cyrus-imapd-2.2.3 under OpenBSD-3.5. My users are all French and i'm having a problem creating mailboxes with accentuated caracters. ie: cm user.testuser.testé createmailbox: Invalid mailbox name How can I make cyrus accept accentuated mailbox names ?

Re:accents in mailbox names
Hi, When creating a mailbox, it's name should be encoded in UTF7, and also you should add chars quote ' and and ? to the GOODCHARS define in imap/mboxname.c for the UTF7 encoding to be fully accepted in mailbox names. http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrussearchterm=gaudreaumsg=19930 salut, françois Hi :) I'm using cyrus-imapd-2.2.3 under OpenBSD-3.5.

sendmail hooks for pre-checking of over-quota imap users?
I was curious if anyone has implemented a mechanism in sendmail to determine if a user is over their Cyrus quota before attempting LMTP delivery of the message. If so, how was it impemented? In our environment, I would have to say that easily, 3/4ths of all our e-mail hitting the LMTP server is over-quota'd e-mail. What I have done is to create a new hash file called /etc/mail/overquota.db that gets updated periodically (once an hour or maybe even less) with the list of users currently over their quota's. I then modified the sendmail queuegroup rules to check for the existence of a user in that hash file and move then to the overquota queue if so. I find this better than dumping all e-mail destined for local delivery to the cyrus queue, and then using a queue mover to find all the messages that had attempted LMTP delivery, but failed with an Over quota message. That turns out to be very expensive with regards to disk I/O and CPU utilization. Also, if anyone else has other interesting ideas on how they handle lots of over quota e-mail (besides shortening the time that e-mail is kept on the server or rejecting that e-mail outright), I would be interested in hearing about it.

Massive RH ES updates earlier today...
Dear list. We're running RH ES 3 over here with Simons RPMS for Cyrus-Imap. (Cyrus v2.1.16-Invoca-RPM-2.1.16-6) (The onlything we built from source was postfix v2.0.19 for MySQL and Sasl support) Both pam and sasl 2.1.15 are now available from Redhat along with a huge list of other updates... Has anyone done the update yet ? Pitfalls ? Any suggestions are highly apprechiated Regards brynteza

In order to use this, you'll have to be running Sendmail 8.13 or get the patch for 8.12: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/patches/sendmail-8.12.7-socketmap-v4.patch The daemon verifies the existence of the rcpt, the ACL and the quota at the RCPT TO time of the SMTP exchange. For me, its cut down on a HUGE amount of garbage destined for non-existent users, thus eliminating the outgoing bounce messages.

cyrus inbox not working
I am building a mail server using cyrus of course, postfix mysql for the backend. I am creating the accounts using web-cyradm and it seems when I create the account everythig looks fine. I log into cyradm on the command line everything looks fine as well as all the folders being there on the server and mail also delivers to the accounts. But, when I try to log in using a mail client I have tried a few and it seems that the inbox isnt there. I have also tried to create sub folders and still no luck. I do not see any errors in the logs either. Anyone have any ideas? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re:accents in mailbox names
Hi again, The utf-7 thing is specified in the RFC2060 in 5.1.2. Mailbox Namespace Naming Convention, and as IMAP4 clients should conform to this RFC, Outlook and your Webmail clients should do the utf7 encoding when creating mailbox names. If you still have some troubles, then you will need to recompile cyrus after changing the GOODCHARS stuff. bye, françois Selon François LECOLIER [EMAIL PROTECTED]: When creating a mailbox, it's name should be encoded in UTF7, and also you should add chars quote ' and and ? to the GOODCHARS define in imap/mboxname.c for the UTF7 encoding to be fully accepted in mailbox names. http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrussearchterm=gaudreaumsg=19930 Thanks a bunch for that information.

Either set cyrus_destination_recipient_limit = 1 or skip deliver and use
Postfix's lmtp Client to carry the Mails to Cyrus.

Cyrus Imapd and Outlook XP header weirdness?
Hello, i have been testing Cyrus Imapd 2.2.3 with some Mozilla and Outlook XP clients. I observe some weird behaviour with Outlook XP (SP3) and the server. Emails i receive appear on Outlook with on behalf of in front of the sender. And if this wasn't strange enough, if i move emails from the Cyrus imapd server Inbox to other imap servers, they seem to lose the From: field. With Mozilla things seem to work ok, and with the same Outlook client and other imap server (UWashington) it also works fine. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? I am using sendmail as the mta, by the way, running in Fedora Core 1.
