Quota with Cyrus !!!
Hello the list, I have a problem to define and to use the quota on my Cyrus Server. I have install this : cyrus-admin-2.2, cyrus-clients-2.2, cyrus-common-2.2 and cyrus-imapd-2.2 all of this package works on Debian etch server, and my mail server work fine with Cyrus IMAP, Postfix, Sasl, SSL / TLS, PAM modules and Winbind with authentication trow Windows Active Directory!!! But when i try to define quota, my user are over quota, but he can send mail and receive them ?? What is the problem with my server Also i can't use quota -f or quota user.username when i logge on cyrus user to my server But i can setquota user.username or listquotaroot user.username I hope to read you... I need your help. Tks. Ps: sorry for my poor english.

Re: load balancing at fastmail.fm

For maintenance, we can safely fail all masters off a server in a few minutes, about 10-30 seconds a store. Then we can take the machine down, do whatever we want, bring it back up, wait for replication to catch up again, then fail any masters we want back on to the server. Just curious how you do this - do you just stop the masters and then change the proxy to point to the replica? Webmail users shouldn't notice this but don't the desktop IMAP clients notice?

Yes, your assumption is correct. We have both masters and replicas, though nothing like that organised! Each machine has replicas spread over as many different machines as possible (though for historical reasons there are a couple of pairings that are a bit busy - I'm working on splitting those up as we get new machines) ... that way we can fail all the masters off one machine without causing too much load on any one other machine, though it does mean we can only have one or two machines down at any one time, rather than up to half of them. We actually lost a controller chip in a RAID unit recently and our hot spare turned out to be broken as well, so we had a choice of leave replication down or expand into the spare slots we had sitting around. We wound up expanding. I have a script called sync_all_users which runs in tandem with monitorsync. Monitorsync runs from cron every 10 minutes and checks that sync_client processes are running correctly for each master slot on a machine. It will also run sync_client for any leftover files after a failure, email us about what's happening, restart the rolling replication, etc. It's very nice. It has locking which integrates with our failover script (which runs replication for any remaining log files after taking cyrus down) and etc. So sync_all_users runs a sync_client -u on every user who is in our database as should be active on this machine, cleans out any logs which were written before it started and then starts rolling replication on all logs that were written since it started (you could do more clever stuff with alphabetical time stamping, but it's a bit of a pointless optimisation, it tends to catch up quickly when there's not much changed anyway). So it took maybe a day to be fully back up to date, which still isn't ideal, but it was a day of no downtime, just replica unsafety. Bron.

Selective sieve service
Hello, I've been trying to utilize sieve functionality on our server: Cyrus 2.2.12 on FC4, and it is a real head scratcher! I've taken to the sieve extension in Thunderbird and the Avelsieve plugin to Squirrelmail. Both of these appear to work in creating sieve scripts properly placed and activated, but the only function I can get to work is "fileinto"! Attempts at "reject" and "vacation" did nothing but accept the email normally into the inbox. Checking the maillog I see "sieve runtime error for user.reject: sendmail terminated normally" Any help here, or where to get a good sieve HOWTO is greatly appreciated!

It makes reference to the tool we use to manage the OS of the machines (radmind), but it should be pretty clear what they are talking about without any radmind knowledge. As an FYI, we have a similar procedure to this, the main differences are: 1. We don't change the DNS. Instead we give each machine a primary IP address, but we also create IP addresses for cyrusXmaster and cyrusXreplica names(where X is numbers for each machine). When we swap roles, we rebind the different IPs to the particular machines and send ARPs to clear the router table, rather than changing the DNS. This means you can always access the master as cyrusXmaster from every machine without having to worry about DNS getting out of sync. 2. Every machine has cyrus-master.conf, cyrus-replica.conf, imapd- master.conf and imapd-replica.conf. We just symlink cyrus.conf and imapd.conf to the appropriate file depending on what mode the machine is currently in Do you have separate IP addresses for each instance of cyrus on the machine as well, or just the machine itself? If just the machine, what 'names' does the front-end know the back-end instances by? FWIW we use IP names for our 17 back-end UW mailstores...

How to stop IMAP referrals?
Is there a way to prevent an imapd front-end from advertizing or performing referrals to a back-end server, and just do proxying instead? There are a couple of reasons that I'd prefer this. The main one is that the back-end server doesn't offer the full range of authentication mechanisms. Another is that Pine users complain that they keep getting prompted for a password whenever they send mail, if they have their `sent mail' folder on the IMAP server. I'd be happier if the front-end would just proxy the connections to the back-end. -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
