using all cyrusdb_flat instead of cyrusdb_db3 to see if it helps. In the meantime, you can probably cut down on the frequency of the errors by setting prefork=0. I don't know why, but the preforks seem to make the problem happen more frequently. Michael Bacon Duke University [EMAIL PROTECTED

2002-01-14 Thread Michael Bacon
this feature was turned off due to the change in the mboxlist, but is it gone for good? Was it taken out because it was thought to be more trouble than it was worth, or is there a real coding barrier to getting it to work with the new code? Thanks, Michael Bacon Duke University [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My guess is that you're trying to compile in MIT krb5 with krb4 compatability and OpenSSL into the same patch. They both have a des.h in the include path, but the kerberos one is inexeplicably required for krb.h to work right (otherwise you get some macros that don't get substituted

Cyrus writes logs to the local6 syslog facility. Capturing local6.debug to a file in your syslog.conf (as the documentation suggests) will give you loads of logging information. --On Thursday, November 29, 2001 08:07:20 PM -0800 Erik Steffl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have cyrus 1.6.24

How are you delivering mail from the MTA? With LMTP? With the deliver program? If you're using the deliver program, be sure to use the -r flag and arrange for your MTA to fill in the envelope sender address on the command line. Otherwise, vacation just won't work. (It sends messages to

as long as all cyrus processes are stopped? Will that shrink the effective size of these? If they must be that big, so be it, but if there's some way we could avoid carrying around hundreds of processes with a 20 MB footprint, that would be much better. Thanks, Michael Bacon Duke University

Yes, but it's not easy. The short answer is authenticated SMTP/LMTP. Any user wanting to post then has to connect to one of your SMTP servers and authenticate through some mechanism (PLAIN+TLS tends to work well for many applications). Then, you have to set up authenticated trust between
