Help on quota usage.
Dear List, for one user, the lq user.xx is showing 1.6 GB, where as actual usage on file system is less than 1 GB. I want to know, how can get where is the additional quota sitting in /var/spool/imap partition for user xxx. Thanks in advance. -- anant athavale. bangalore 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 underlying filesystem MAY have compression capabilities, which will most certainly lead to 'du' returning a lower value than Cyrus 'list quota'. +1. The utilization of the underlying storage and the value calculated by Cyrus may not correspond 1:1 for a variety of reasons [although, I guess one might expect them to the close-ish - unless delayed expunge, deduplication, etc... features are used]. I have seen the filesystem and Cyrus quota values differ into both directions [fq fq] for apparently valid reasons.

Re: Help on quota usage.
Isn't the most likely cause of cyrus quota showing more usage than file system the single instance store feature? (Assuming you have tried fixing the quota as others have suggested) If you do any lists or mass emailing with an MTA that can use the single instance store feature, this can save a lot of disk space. You should be able to find these hardlinked messages via find . -type f -links +1 Hope this helps, John On 2/14/2014 5:41 AM, Anant Athavale wrote: Dear List, for one user, the lq user.xx is showing 1.6 GB, where as actual usage on file system is less than 1 GB.

Re: Best distro for Exim/Cyrus
Vlad and Andrew, thanks so much for the tip on the lmtpd -a - that certainly did allow mail to flow to the expected mailbox. Thanks so much. I'm definitely making progress thanks to the help here. I'm stuck getting sasl authentication though. As I understand it cyrus_sasl uses it's own (Berkley?) database so I can manage users without them having system accounts. Certainly I've been using saslpasswd2 to set the user passwords but I'm unable to configure this. If I uncomment any of the Authentcate against cyrus-sasl options I get an error when running update-exim4.conf: root@blmail:~# update-exim4.conf 2014-02-14 14:54:28 Exim configuration error in line 849 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: authenticator cram_md5_sasl_server: cannot find authenticator driver cyrus_sasl Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated If I don't use any encrypted passwords I can log in, work with mailboxes, receive mail but not send (relay not permitted which I suspect is so as to not be an open relay..?) What do I need to do to authenticate with the cyrus_sasl db? Why would the authenticator driver cyrus_sasl not be available? Do I need to enable that somewhere? I've read so many conflicting pages I've completely confused myself. Maybe I should be looking at TLS/SSL now... thanks again *Paul O'Rorke* Tracker Software Products p...@tracker-software.com mailto:paul.oro...@tracker-software.com On 2/13/2014 1:09 AM, Vladislav Kurz wrote: On Thursday 13 of February 2014 00:30:55 Paul O'Rorke wrote: Thanks for that Vladislav, it was very helpful. :-) I have managed to get exim to use the defined cyrus_delivery transport attempting to deliver a received mail but it is baulking on the SSL cert. For starters, comment out everything related to tls/ssl. You can get thet working later when everything else is OK. There's no need for TLS and Auth on LMTP. I think Andrew is right, just fix the quotes in cyrus.conf lmtp cmd=lmtpd -a listen=localhost:lmtp prefork=0 maxchild=20 and confirm the permissions on the cert file: root@blmail:~# ls -l /etc/ssl/private/ total 4 -rw-r- 1 root root 916 Feb 12 12:41 ssl-cert-snakeoil.key What process/user should have access to this key? Is it simply the wrong owner/group? I usually set the key to be readable by group mail, and ensure that users cyrus and Debian-exim are members of group mail. I'll come back to the Spamassassin issue later (unless of course it's related!) I think it is not related. -- S pozdravem Vladislav Kurz === WebStep, s.r.o.
