Recovering mailboxes list.
Hi Dears,I'd like to learn some methods to recover a Cyrus Backend, currently I am able to restore with the mailboxes list exported using "ctl_mboxlist".But, how can I restore the mailboxes if I dont have the mailboxes list exported? Assuming I have only the mailboxes directories, how could I rebuildthe mailboxes.db? I'm using cyrus 2.4.6.Just another question, is there any way to rebuild the mailboxes list from a mailboxes.db file?Thanks, my best regards.Fabio S.

Deploying a replica server when a populated backend exists.
Hi !I'm currently testing the replication engine in Cyrus 2.4.6, I was able to setup a new backend and then deploy the replica sever. I have some doubts about deploy a replica server when the backend to be replicated is already populated, I have tried and only the mailboxes created after the first synchronization was replicated, is there any way to replicate the mailboxes that were on the backend before the sync?Thanks,Fabio S.

Assuming I have only the mailboxes directories, how could Irebuild the mailboxes.db? I'm using cyrus 2.4.6.You could probably generate a mailbox list with a bit of wrangling with:find . -type dunderneath your mail spool, and then use cvt_cyrusdb or cyr_dbtool toinsert that database back into your mailboxes db.Just another question, is there any way to rebuild the mailboxes list froma mailboxes.db file?mailboxes.db is your mailbox database. You can use 'file mailboxes.db' todetermine which database format you're using. In the event of a recovery(assuming all software versions are the same), copying over everythingunder 'configdirectory' is a good first step.You can also use cvt_cyrusdb to dump the contents of mailboxes.db into aflat text format.-- Dan White Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/

I guess you are running rolling replication, this will sync all mailboxes when they change, which may take a while. To do the initial sync you need to run sync_client -u or -m with a list of all users or a list with all mailboxes. If you use sieve you should use -u or you have to -s with a userlist to sync the sievescripts --- - M.MengeTel.: (49) 7071/29-70316 Universität Tübingen Fax.: (49) 7071/29-5912 Zentrum für Datenverarbeitung mail: michael.me...@zdv.uni-tuebingen.de Wächterstraße 76 72074 Tübingen Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/

That can be very misleading, because a device may keep checking for new mail for a very long time after the user abandons the account. A recent timestamp on the user.seen file should be good, but that seems to update mysteriously sometimes. The lastupdated: field of cyradm's info mailbox command will show the last time the mailbox was updated in any way, so that includes deliveries. The timestamp of the user.seen file will only reflect the last time that the seen state of anything in the mailbox changed, but does not tell you when the mailbox was last accessed.

Cyrus squatter using only a single core

Re: Cyrus squatter using only a single core
Hi Menge ! Thanks for the tips ! I realize that running squatter every 3h is too often, once my enviroment is still growning, we had around a tousand users but the predictions are to have 50.000 users in a month or two. We are planning to change it to run once each night and maybe at specific times with less IO traffic.

Hi Jose ! Thanks for answering ! Your explanations are very appropriate and I couldn't agree more ! In fact, I'm just concerned if squatter causing a high load on a core even when running with nice 19 is the normal behavior, but I realize that it is more a question about Linux than Cyrus. -- My best regards, Fabio Soares Schmidt On 15 July 2014 16:19, Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia joseyl...@gmail.com wrote: I am not a cyrux expert, but why are you worried that a core is loaded? It means that the core is working on the task. Does the performance of the server suffer because of this (response time to users, etc)? I think that monitor for detect a high load in a core isn't appropriate measure of performance. It can be useful for detected a hanged process that takes all your cpu, or historical usages of the cores, but not for other purposes.

If you really need to allow more connections, increase the maxchilds parameter.

I do known that the user is able to inform the reason for the reject, but with the Subject and the initial text in english it may cause confusion, on my environment for instance, most users do not understand english at all and actually delete or mark those messages as Spams.

Can/should this be included in Cyrus Imapd 2.5.x Regards Michael --- M.MengeTel.: (49) 7071/29-70316 Universität Tübingen Fax.: (49) 7071/29-5912 Zentrum für Datenverarbeitung mail: michael.me...@zdv.uni- tuebingen.de Wächterstraße 76 72074 Tübingen 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 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

Re: frontend lmtp connections to mupdate master
Hi Michael, - Sorry if I am annoying answering this thread to the list, but maybe someone has better ideias. We are using Cyrus 2.4.14 with dedicated Backends, Frontends and Mupdate servers. We have deployed a Cyrus Frontend on each MTA servers so when a message is delivered it will only query locally the locations of the mailboxes. This way the real Frontend servers are only loaded with the IMAP connections from the clients. These are our configurations: # cyrus.conf imapcmd=proxyd -a listen=localhost:imap prefork=5 maxchild=100 lmtpcmd=lmtpproxyd -C /etc/imapd-local-lmtpd.conf listen=lmtp prefork=10 maxchild=500 #/etc/imapd-local-lmtpd.conf mupdate_server: 127.0.0.1 304 mupdate_port: 3905 305 mupdate_authname: admin 306 mupdate_username: admin 307 mupdate_password: PASSWORD 308 mupdate_retry_delay: 10 # /etc/postfix/transport ourdomain.com.br lmtp:127.0.0.1:lmtp Delivery log on the MTA: Sep 26 14:22:20 mta_server postfix/lmtp[23622]: 0B88516F803: to=fa...@ourdomain.com.br, orig_to=fabio, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:24, delay=0.04, delays=0.01/0/0/0.03, dsn=2.1.5, status=sent (250 2.1.5 Ok SESSIONID=cyrus-26064-1411752140-1) Delivery log on the Backend : Sep 26 14:22:20 backend_server cyrus/lmtp[7391]: Delivered: 20140926172219.e56fd16f...@ourdomain.com.br to mailbox: user.fabio Regards, Fabio On 26 September 2014 13:34, Fabio S.

Cyrus connect to an external SMTP server
Hi, I have deployed Cyrus Aggregator and I noticed that when a Backend server sends a message, an auto response for instance, it connects to the localhost on port 25, which forced me to deploy a SMTP server locally. Is there any way to set Cyrus to connect to an external SMTP server? -- My best regards, Fabio Soares Schmidt Linux Professional Institute - LPIC-3 Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Active Directory 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
Re: Cyrus connect to an external SMTP server
Hi Marcus, Thanks for the answer. I will take a look at the SSMTP package.

Moving to folders stored in different servers
Hi, I have an environment with Cyrus Aggregator and this scenario: Every user has its INBOX stored on a server and has an archiving folder which is kept on another server. I have noticed that when I move some folder from the INBOX to the archiving hierarchy, Cyrus (I'm using 2.4.14) doesn't recognise it and create the structure and keep the folder on the server which has the INBOX stored. Is this scenario supported by Cyrus? -- My best regards, Fabio Soares Schmidt Linux Professional Institute - LPIC-3 Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Active Directory 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
Re: Announcing the Cyrus Foundation and development plans for 2015
That is a great news ! I am excited about what is about to come. I'm available to run some tests with Aggregator and other things. Regards.

A non-profit foundation (incorporated in Canada because that's where our biggest sponsor is based) and some real resources to take Cyrus from its current status as a great project that's hard to manage and not well documented into a well rounded product that can compete with other proprietary or free solutions without needing a Cyrus expert on staff. I posted my giant wishlist/roadmap last year, and we will be picking the highest value items from that list to release as Cyrus 3.0 this year. We have resources. As well as Ken Murchison at CMU and myself at FastMail who have been doing this a while, we two dedicated developers who will be working entirely on this project (Anthony in Canada and Ellie in Melbourne), and volunteers putting in whatever time they can as well. I've also grabbed part-time commitments from a few of the FastMail staff to help out. With these resources available, I propose a very aggressive timeline: March 1st: Cyrus 2.5 release. I'll cut a beta tomorrow, and then another one next Friday. Get your testing on :) The goal is to be a clean upgrade path from 2.4, incorporating many of the fixes since then which were too invasive to backport, but no surprises. (... every 2 weeks or so, a new 2.5 point release with bugfixes) May 1st: Cyrus 3.0 technology preview. I will present this at the Kolab summit in The Hauge on the 2nd-3rd, with whatever is ready by this time. July 20th: Cyrus 3.0 release. We'll have Docker Images / Virtual Machines / Packages for major operating systems/distributions, along with the documentation to set up a working mail system. This will be quite opinionated. Cyrus 3.0 will be quite opinionated. We'll probably be discarding a ton of configuration options in exchange for simplicity and reliability. And we won't stop there, but that's as far as I'm planning today. KICKOFF MEETING: We will hold our first meeting as the new Cyrus team at 10am Melbourne time tomorrow, Friday 20th. Timezone info: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Cyrus+Kickoff+Meetingiso=20150220T10p1=152ah=1 or http://goo.gl/ryQToF Video/Audio chat via appearin: https://appear.in/cyrus Side channel will be the #cyrus IRC channel on Freenode: https://cyrusimap.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cyrus_IRC Minutes will be posted to the cyrus-devel mailing list: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/cyrus-devel Everybody is welcome to join in, either via IRC or video. Please use a headset and remain muted when you aren't speaking - and we may find that we have most people turn off video depending on how everyone's bandwidth goes. We find it works quite well with just audio. I will have a webcam pointing at the big whiteboard in the FastMail boardroom, and use that for note taking. There will be a scribe in IRC as well. It's not a big deal if you can't make it. I'm planning to do two meetings per week, one on Tuesday and one on Friday Australian time (Monday/Thursday for Europe/US) as well as setting aside a couple of blocks of office hours when I am available for anyone who has questions - either development or operational. I'm really excited about this new phase of Cyrus development, and I look forward to working with everyone and doing great things!
