Hi,
We are running a linux from scratch system and use the cyrus delivery agent.
One of our customers wants to use a '.' in the user names. I've search the Internet and found the possibility to use the unix hierarchy seperator as a delimiter and therefore allow '.'s in user names. I've set ' unixhierarchysep: yes' in the imapd.conf config file but something strange happens.
Mail is stored on the 'mail/' partition. Before enabling the option subfolders were created in 'mail/user/' per user , for example '/mail/user/user.pieter'. With the option enabled I was expecting a 'mail/user/pieter.with.points' constructions, but I get 'mail/user^pieter^with^points' instead . The mailboxes are constructed and a login is possible, but I can't access the INBOx folder :
*ERROR : Could not complete request.* Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: Mailbox does not exist
You created the mailbox incorrectly. If using cyradm, you should have done:
cm user/peter.with.points
NOT:
cm user.peter.with.points
If you change the hiersep,you have to *use* it. ;)
Can anyone explain me what's wrong? This is our version information :
