Re: cyrus-imapd crash, fails to restart
Hi Simon - thanks for the reply. I apologize for being remiss in
providing the necessary info; I know better than that.

what version you are running.
cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-1.1.fc3
Yes, that's old and possibly includes a buggy cvt_cyrusdb_all.
cyrus-imapd really doesn't like disk full problems!
I'm gathering that! :-)
Do you have backups of the box?
I do - but they're 5 weeks old - I backup to my home system, and we just
moved. I haven't plugged in my home server and backup system since. If
possible, I would like to recover the users mailboxes as currently as
possible.
If you told us what's still there in your /var/lib/imap/
Okay, first as you suggested below, comment out the calls to
cvt_cyrusdb_all in the init script, both in start and stop function. I
don't know if that version of cvt_cyrusdb_all handles corrupt db files
correct, so it's safe to uncomment it, then do a backup of /var/lib/imap
and
.

Trying to implement Bulletin Boards
Hi All, I am looking at getting the bulletin boards feature of cyrus working. So far, I have been able to create the boards in the admin console, and they are as such: listaclmailbox bb* bb.aptest: plante lrswipcda anyone lrs bb.aptest.events: plante lrswipcda anyone lrs I have purposefully given myself full permissions, and left the anyone as the default. In my imapd.conf (as well as imapd-local.conf), I have the follwoing: postuser: bb sharedprefix: bb I am not sure if both lines are required, but both seemed relevant. I am now trying to modify the sendmail.mc, and run the m4 command to allow the delivery to the mailbox. I have searched the web but have not found anything conclusive as to what I need to add to this file. So far, I have tried adding: MAILER(cyrus) define(`confLOCAL_MAILER',`cyrus') dnl LOCAL_RULE_0 dnl Rbb + $+ @ $=w . $#cyrusbb $: $1 but that did not help. Whenever I try to send to bb+aptest, +aptest, aptest, or +aptest.events I get messages back saying that the mailbox does not exist. Can anyone provide a little guidance?? Thanks, Andre 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

Can anyone provide a little guidance?? sharedprefix refers to shared user mailboxes. Bulletin boards are usually not user mailboxes and as such are created at the root of the IMAP namespace. The post user is mostly symbolic (but perhaps used by the MTA for authorization?) and can be left undefined so that addressing would be just with the plus notation. Recreate your bulletin board folders as root folders: cm aptest cm aptest.events If you leave post user as bb, then you would address them as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you leave postuser undefined, then you would addres them as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The sharedprefix should be left as users.

Re: Trying to implement Bulletin Boards
Thanks for the assistance. It is now working as expected and hoped. For the record, I think my problem is that I was creating the boards as bb.aptest, compared to just aptest. Thanks again!
