If not... Is there any work at all going on to add good LDAP or MySQL support? I really love cyrus imapd but think it lacks some stuff when it comes to LDAP or MySQL support. Can you be more specific? Your'e right... I am not just talking about LDAP auth using any PAM stuff. Cyrus imapd in not directly LDAP friendly. From the authentication/authorizaion stand point it is very friendly. Perhaps it is not easily configured. Take a look at ptloader/ldap and cyrus sasl documentation (there are several different ways to configure ldap based authentication). I am *not* talking about LDAP auth. I know that this is easily configured... I have already used it *a lot*. Me and my colleague have actually extended Cyrus sasl with extra Oracle auth through SQL*Net for a large Telecom/ISP customer. So yes... I know Cyrus SASL... Let's say you want to put quota info in LDAP. And in huge installations you maybe want to put as much info as possible into a central repository using LDAP protocol. And not just quota, It is fairly trivial to develop an ldap based cyrus db backend. But in a 'huge' installation I do not believe you can achieve desired performance and reliability. ldap just does not do well when you have to write to it often. Yes it is fairly trivial for a person with the correct programming skills (not me)... But it is not in the product today. And that is why I ask... Hmmm. I do know understand your LDAP performance comment Why should you write often to LDAP in a scenario like this??? You configure the attributes rarely and then read them often. I can only see writes during user password change or any other admin changes of user attributes. *One* of the golden rules to use LDAP is to have *many* more reads for each write (example 1000:1). I work with LDAP in my daily work. But I maybe missunderstood you... maybe alternate e-mail adresses and more. You can do this now. Did not know thatSorry. Thanks for telling me. But what I meant by more above could for example be quota, acl , virtual domain stuff etc. Between the lines I can read a try to defend cyrus as it is good as it is in the LDAP area. But there is definitely no need to do that, because I already think Cyrus imapd is the best OpenSource product in this area. And also better than many commercial ones. I have it in some customer installations, and it works really well. The cyrusmaster project looks nice. It looks like the most powerful admin software for cyrus and great for big installations. If we start to use it, we have to wait for LDAP extension patches from the cyrusmaster project after each cyrus update. Simple LDAP extension patches for basic (well.. almost) ldap features that could already have been in the product. And believe me... I would have helped the Cyrus project extending the LDAP support if I was a real programmer. But I am maybe the only person ansking for some more centralized LDAPified config stuff for Cyrus. If so. Let's skip the LDAP discussion. As said earlier, it's not important to me today. Just asked because of curiosity to see what is in the Cyrus developers pipe My question is just because I am interested to know if there is any work going on to make is more LDAP friendly. And the main reason for asking is because the cyrusmaster project has extended cyrus to contain some of this stuff. And the last... Excuse me if I totally missed something important here.

Re: virus scan on cyrus mailboxes
Yes. it works really well. If you use it through milter you can use the build in clamav-milter or the third party smtp-vilter milter connector by Marc Balmer. I prefer the smtp-vilter as it seems more stable and also have more features. For example to also connect to spamassassin spamd and Symantec antivirus through ICAP and more. If you use smtp-vilter you do not have to rip up the mail twice with spam checking and then virus scanning. It's all done when the mail is open. Enjoy clamav. I love it.
