Unless your C compiler is in the dark ages there shouldn't be any need to run on a 64-bit CPU just to be able to use 64-bit integers such as those used for large quotas. > Is Cyrus known to run faster in 64-bit, for instance? Well that depends on what your definitino of "faster" is. In one environment I support it would be impossible to manage the same user load on a machine without more than 4GB of RAM and so without running it on a true 64-bit platform with more than 32-bit direct addressing (we use an AlphaServer ES40 with 16GB of RAM and four processors) the speed would be "infinitely" slow, i.e. it wouldn't run at all. I.e. there's usually a lot more to a _system_ than just a single instance of a program running on a given processor. FYI the Alpha CPU, with the right associated machine architecture, runs applications quite well -- i.e. with comparable and sometimes better performance than, say, 32-bit Intel CPUs of the same generation, and to the best of my knowledge the Alpha only supports 64-bit execution. Often applications running on an Alpha will require more RAM, but usually the memory and cache architecture are designed in such a way that this doesn't adversely affect their performance. I'd venture to guess that the same can be said of an AMD64 (in 64-bit mode), as well as the newer 64-bit SPARC machines (again, in 64-bit mode). -- Greg A.

Or, if you want to just get things closer to correct, invoke: sync_client -v -l -u username once for every user. That way, when it encounters one bad user, it won't stop. Of course, you may have many "bad" users, as well. If you still have problems once all the "bad" users are corrected, then we can debug the size differences. :wes Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
Re: cyrus replication question

Global Sieve Script
Hi, I would like to create a "global" sieve script that will be active for all users, regardless of the presence of a per-user sieve script or not. This is so that all spam marked by amavis with the X-Spam-Status header can be segregated into spam folders. I have already created and activated a script placed in the global namespace, but this doesn't seem to be run for all users (actually, it doesn't seem to be run for any users). Is my understanding of what a "global script" is correct? Or do global scripts still need to be included or otherwise referenced in per-user scripts? If anyone has a recipe for scripts that are activated for all users without requiring individual scripts in the users' sieve folders, please do share this. Thanks!

Outlook Express and IMAP connections - thousands of them?
Hi everyone, I've been using Outlook Express with Cyrus now for several years (since 2002), have set it up on many different computers, and have never run into this before. I have one user who is also using OE, and their OE is doing something very strange - it's disconnecting and reconnecting for every folder it checks, leading to (litreally) thousands of lines a day indicating a new login: Dec 14 12:02:25 polaris imap[26772]: login: clientHost [69.xxx.xxx.xxx] @tibbs.ca plaintext User logged in Dec 14 12:02:25 polaris imap[26170]: login: clientHost [69.xxx.xxx.xxx] @tibbs.ca plaintext User logged in Dec 14 12:02:26 polaris imap[26170]: login: clientHost [69.xxx.xxx.xxx] @tibbs.ca plaintext User logged in Dec 14 12:02:26 polaris imap[26772]: login: clientHost [69.xxx.xxx.xxx] @tibbs.ca plaintext User logged in Dec 14 12:02:27 polaris imap[26772]: login: clientHost [69.xxx.xxx.xxx] @tibbs.ca plaintext User logged in ... and so on.
