Hardware opinion sought - Sun X4500

2007-05-02 Thread Qin Li
We are thinking of two Sun's Thumper X4500 servers for a fork lifting upgrade to our IMAP servers. The x4500 is relatively new but a few reports on the Internet gave it a thumb up, particularly on the use of ZFS and IOPS of RAIDZ. Mail is one of the application cited by Sun for such a box. We

Hi, Cyrus has 2 problems with NFS. 1. Cyrus depends on filesystem locking. NFS-4 should have solved this problem but i have not tested it. 2. BerkleyDB uses shared Memory which does not work accros multiple servers. You can try to convert all your databases to skipplist and run with NFS-4

Cyrus Quota vs. du

2007-05-02 Thread Dana Canfield
We've been slowly phasing in mail quotas and I've discovered that the quota usage reported by cyrus doesn't match a du for that same user. In fact, I can't find any user where the reports *do* match. Is this a sign of quota corruption, or am I overlooking something about how the quotas work?

Dear Andrew, hi list, Ack, someone using my scripts! :) First of all thanks for providing them! I bet the problem is that on a large mailbox, $imap-messages will return a really big list of UIDs (longer than the allowed MAXWORD of 32768). You may be able to fix this by calling

Dear Any, dear list, Hmm, I'm using v2.2.13 here. Maybe that option/feature didn't exist in 2.1.x. The manuals I just checked gave no hint on the necessary version. You should probably check if other message flags (Important, Answered, etc) are copied. I can't remember. At least
