RE: qmail - cyrus
does anyone know or has working the connection from qmail to IMAP-daemon Cyrus? I am experimenting with these two, but qmail does not deliver mail to cyrus. I want to use qmail as MTA and cyrus as IMAP-daemon for all users. Are you using the deliver program that comes with Cyrus? (You have to). Have you wrapped it or modified its permissions? (You need to). Read the following archive messages, give it a try, and if you're still having problems come back with some details about what you're trying, where it is failing, and what log messages result. http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/03/msg01173.html http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/02/msg00561.html -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's at least one pointer to how to set it up, maybe more.

RE: qmail-cyrus-authentification
As imap server we use cyrus, modified to do authentification via an oracle account_db. ... My question is how to setup qmail working with cyrus, especially doing the same authentification mechanism. It isn't clear to me what you want to do. In short: qmail shouldn't need to know anything about the Cyrus users, it should just hand off mail to the cyrus "deliver" program which does know, unless you're trying to do selective relaying. In detail: 1) If you're asking how to make qmail's delivery process correctly deliver to users defined in cyrus via Oracle, the answer is: configure qmail to use cyrus' "deliver" program, which presumably already knows about all the users defined in Oracle. No changes to qmail are needed except the default delivery method. For example, I've got a qmail box that delivers to Cyrus users, and my /var/qmail/rc file has the following lines: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|preline -f /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a $USER -- $USER' \ splogger qmail Note that for this to work, you either have to loosen the execution permissions on deliver (which compromises Cyrus quotas, but I didn't care on the server above) or wrap deliver with a setuid wrapper (presumably the "setuidgid" program in DJB's daemontools would work). 2) If you're asking how to make qmail relay for users defined in the Oracle database, I don't know a good answer. Presumably you'd want to grab the SMTP-AUTH patch and fix that up to check with Oracle, but you'll probably still have problems with that. 3) If you're asking how to make checkpassword work with the Oracle database, then either you or I are confused: checkpassword is used by qmail's POP3 server, but if you're running Cyrus, you can only use Cyrus' POP3 server anyway. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: QMAIL-CYRUS-HOWTO
The LDAP integration with Cyrus can be found at: http://www.linc-dev.com/auth.html There are good instructions for adding in the C source code but if I remember correctly, there are a couple of typos in the file. I've had no problems with it accessing our LDAP servers. The only outstanding issue is that it is sending clear text from the cyrus server to your LDAP server.

As I caution in HOWTO, the setup is RedHat centric. The actual instructions are a bit sparse, but all the scripts are there to look at, and I've outlined the general mechanism that will work on any system. The RedHat setup works and I've documented that in the HOWTO. I'm sure there will be few things that are unclear, I whipped this one off quick. If anyone has any queries feel free to ask. Hope this is of some general help. jason.
Q re qmail / cyrus imapd and Sent folder on server
I'm still striving for mail client independence. What this means is that all mail for everyone will remain on the server and ideally I'd like the user to be able to use an imap client of his/her choosing from a PC of his/her choosing, i.e. a PC at work, PC from home, HPC from wherever. Some imap clients do store Sent mail on the server, but some still insist on keeping it local. I know that qmail can log all incoming and outgoing mail but that's a little overkill. What I'd like to do is filter a copy of a users outgoing mail to the users Sent mailbox on the server. I.e. a constant Bcc. Unfortunately I can't rely on the user to do a Bcc manually just like I can't rely on them to backup their PC notwithstanding the from what PC is the mail being read. This seems to be the last missing link for "my" perfect mail setup which basically means to read the mail from wherever with whatever imap client without fear of loosing replies or wondering at the office: did I reply from home. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have. Is it perhaps possible to pipe the qmail msg-log to procmail or some equivilant? Heinz

There's a web CGI server for maildir mailboxes that's currently in sort of alpha-test mode. It's not an IMAP server, the only way you can use it would be via a browser. The only reason I'm mentioning is because it puts outgoing mail into the Sent folder automatically. You can find out more about it at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5799/sqwebmail/; I should mention that I'll have the next release out soon, so you may want to wait a couple of days. Also, be advised that it's still work in progress, so things like ease of installation and maintenance may not be there for everyone.
