Re: how to deal with mail retention/archival.
I saw that someone proposed to make a sort of abuse of delayed expunge, but I think that in order to comply with regulatory retention should be better considering some specific software. For example: http://www.mailpiler.org (Fully Free Software) https://www.mailarchiva.com (the old version is opensource but the latest is closed) The specific software will be much better for searching the archive. Finding something in the delayed_expunge folders after many years of archive will absolutely be a nightmare!

IDLE: error sending message
Hi,
I've just migrated a quite busy cyrus install to 2.5.7.
It seems all going well except for the fact that in the logs there are a
lot of messages like:
Feb 8 09:07:06 mail cyrus/imaps[13868]: IDLE: error sending message
DONE to idled for mailbox ${SHARED_FOLDER}: Resource temporarily
unavailable.
and
Feb 8 09:14:27 thot cyrus/imaps[10661]: IDLE: error sending message
INIT to idled for mailbox ${SHARED_FOLDER}: Resource temporarily
unavailable. Falling back to polling every 60 seconds.
All the log messages refers to two folders that are shared to and
subscribed by all users.
I couldn't find any hint about this error with google.
I hope that someone could explain me this message.
Thanks
Giuseppe

Server Backup
Hi, I'm rewriting my backup script and I cannot find any hint about how to backup the cyrus server in a good way. Actually I'm using this method: - Stop Postfix and Cyrus - making tar of /var/lib/sieve - making tar of /var/lib/imap - dumping mailboxes.db in plain text (ctl_mboxlist -d) - taking snapshots of all the mailstores - Restarting the Services - taking mailstore backups from the snapshots The last night the imaps was not restarted because the socket for IMAPS was busy and so I was wondering if today it's really needed to stop the service before taking the snapshots. Avoiding the service stop could also be useful in order to stop having a 1/2min downtime (I also take vmware snapshots of the machine) I was thinking to move in this direction: - Checkpoint and archive the databases (with ctl_cyrusdb -r) - making tar of /var/lib/imap - making tar of /var/lib/sieve - dumping mailboxes.db in plain text (ctl_mboxlist -d) - taking snapshots of all the mailstores - taking mailstore backups from the snapshots What kind of backup strategy are you using?

Cyrus 2.3.8 to 2.5.6
Hi, I'm testing the migration of a quite large IMAP server from 2.3.8 to the latest version. I'm syncing: - mailboxes partitions - sieve - var/lib/imap/user - var/lib/imap/quota - var/lib/imap/annotations.db After the sync: - recompile sieve scripts - ctl_mboxlist -u guid) cyrus/master[5994]: process type:SERVICE name:imaps path:/usr/local/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd age:43.479s pid:11803 exited, status 75 The files will be moved to the new folder and sometimes reappears in the original folder, other times disappears whithout beeing shown with: unexpunge -l $FOLDER It's possible to insert expernal messages in thoose old mailbox but It's not possible to delete because the message reappears and the error above is shown in the logs. If I try to delete with SHIFT-DEL the message disappears from Thunderbird, the error is shown in the logs, the file is still on the disk but "unexpunge -l" doesn't show the missing email. It's a bug or I'm not supposed to open the service until the full reconstruct? Thanks Giuseppe it also get deleted from the client (Thunderbird) from the original one, but thoose mail aren't sown via IMAP until the reconstruct.
