expunge_days and cyr_expire

2012-01-06 Thread Sebastian Hagedorn
How do the 'expunge_days' option in imapd.conf and the -X flag to cyr_expire play together? Currently we're using this cyrus.conf entry: delprune cmd=cyr_expire -E 3 -X 3 -D 3 at=0400 I'm not sure if we should use 'expunge_days: 3' from now on or if it doesn't matter? Cheers,

tcp_keepalive option

2012-01-06 Thread Sebastian Hagedorn
Hi, I've got a question regarding the tcp_keepalive option that's new in Cyrus 2.4: we've always had problems with POP and IMAP processes that got stuck when a connection was dropped in the right way. It's gotten better over the years, but it still happens with 2.3.14. I'm thinking that

Ok, I didn't notice that it is a separate patch, because the cyrus-imapd package of RHEL/CentOS was compiled with that patch, in Ubuntu it isn't. The patch works fine for several years now and I don't think that any new features will be added. Why hasn't it been incorporated and merged into

Do you know what format the seen files are in on the old server? I think you should be able to copy them across with the rest of the mail spool using rsync, but the default database format for seen might have changed. The default in 2.4 appears to be skiplist. Check the setting

Seen data is only stored in .seen files for shared or other user mailboxes. The seen data for the mailbox owner is stored in the cyrus.index. This has two benefits: 1) lower IO for the most common case. We need to update the cyrus.index file anyway to record the new MODSEQ. 2)

Oh, if you've already moved the mailbox and the seen file hasn't been moved yet... yeah, that's messy :( The main problem is that the seen file is indexed by UNIQUEID rather than mailbox name, otherwise you could just copy-paste the sequence out and run TAG UID STORE paste +Flags
