Re: process ctl_mboxlist -r hung
Thank you, I did 'mboxlist -d' but not was necessary reconstruct the database. I stoped the service, killed ctl_mboxlist process and started it. Now it goes ok. Ana.

I've seen that there are two process ctl_mboxlist -r running along 30 days and they consume a lot of CPU. Is this an anomaly? The imap service it's ok but a little slow. Is it advisable to kill them and restart the service? ctl_mboxlist -r was documented int 2.0.x as to 'Recover the database after an application or system failure.', but has since been removed from cyrus. I would suspect that ctl_mboxlist -r is being started via the START or EVENTS section of your cyrus.conf, and was designed to run for a short time to fix any db corruption and then exit. Before killing it, try to get a safe backup of your mailbox list with 'mboxlist -d'. You may also wish to try checkpointing your database with 'mboxlist -c'. You will also possibly need to reconstruct a corrupt mailbox, if you know which one is causing your ctl_mboxlist to spin.

Removing orphaned mailboxes from MUPDATE server
I ran ctl_mboxlist -maw on one of my back end IMAP servers this morning and saw this output: Remove from MUPDATE: user.xx.root.incron Remove from MUPDATE: user.xx.Trash.HCWG.Minutes Remove from MUPDATE: user.xx.freshers-week.fwem.FW09.Rep emails They do not show up if I search for them in cyradm but I found them lurking on the MUPDATE server: $ ctl_mboxlist -d | grep 3 user.xx.Trash.HCWG.Minutes 3 imap-backend.bath.ac.uk!00 user.xx.root.incron 3 imap-backend.bath.ac.uk!04 user.xx.freshers-week.fwem.FW09.Rep emails 3 imap-backend.bath.ac.uk!04 Running ctl_mboxlist -ma on the back end doesn't clear these up. How did these mailbox entries get into state and what is the safest downtime-free way to remove them from the MUPDATE server? ctl_mboxlist doesn't have an advertised way of doing this. The front end is 2.4.16 and the back end is 2.3.13. Many thanks, Dave.

Are you sure it isn't really in the mailbox? Can you go to the user's mailbox [on disk] and grep the files for the messageID? NOTE: status=sent (delivered via cyrus service) Here is what mailman's people said: This message was delivered from Mailman to Postfix and then delivered by Postfix to Cyrus, possibly because this was to a local user and Cyrus is acting as the LDA, or possibly for some other reason, but in any case, if the mail wasn't delivered to the user, this is a question for Cyrus. It is either Cyrus or Postfix [the MTA]. It does look like Mailman is doing his job.

mails vanished
Hi, I'm using cyrus for years now, and have to say that it is a great piece of software, best fitting to my needs. Actually I use 2.2 (imap,pop3 amongst others) with Debian stable/testing. Two days ago I had to recognize that my mail client (thunderbird) only showed a handful of mails in my inbox when there should be thousands, reaching approx. 10 years back. Strange enough, my snapshot backup (faubackup) showed only a few more, going days, weeks and month back. I assumed there might be a problem with the disk and tested it thouroughly, but neither chkdsk nor SMART or other utilities would show errors or problems. I checked mail logs and aptitude.log as well, but there was nothing of interest to me, neither updates nor lots of deleted mails, only some expunged ones, but not too much. At this very moment I'm recovering files using testdisk - at least something. Could one of you tell me whether it's ok to just copy recovered files back to /var/spool/cyrus/mail/f/user/f-user/ ? Or am I supposed to recover with cyrus admin tools like: sudo -u cyrus /usr/sbin/cyrreconstruct -C /etc/imapd.conf -rf user.BENUTZERNAME The file cyrus.header only contains: Cyrus mailbox header The best thing about this system was that it had lots of goals. --Jim Morris on Andrew 478a94914314724f NonJunk Junk $Forwarded $MDNSent $Label1 $Label2 $Label3 $Label4 $Label5 $has_cal friscolrswipcda Any hints to recover my mails are VERY ;) appreciated, as well as suggestions what might be the cause of the problem.

You can copy the recovered ###. files back into your normal mailbox directory and then run reconstruct (and quota -f, if you have a quota) afterwards. Until you run reconstruct, the messages won't appear to IMAP clients. I can't tell you anything about why the messages were deleted though. :) Andy Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus

The best way to find the cause is to run with core size ulimit set so you get core dumps, and chroot to a directory where the cyrus user can write files during startup. That said - it's interesting that you get so many processes crashing. Do you have any syslog entries from immediately before the crash?
