Re: wiki suggestion: integrated products bundling Cyrus IMAPd
Craig Ringer wrote: Hi folks I thought it might be an idea to start a wiki page tracking products that ship an integrated Cyrus IMAPd. This would be useful in (a) saving people who don't want to roll their own a lot of frustration and (b) potentially saving the mailing list participants a lot of repeat questions and issues. I suggest an entry, possibly on the main wiki page, along the lines of "Integrated products including Cyrus". A FAQ entry along the lines of "this is too fiddly - isn't there an easier way to make this all just go?" that refers to the aforementioned page might be a good idea, too. Sound sensible? Here's my suggested beginning for the product list: [Free] Simon's RPMs - not really integrated mail system, but make setup a bit easier [Commercial] SuSE OpenExchange http://www.suse.de/en/business/products/suse_business/openexchange/ Apple MacOS X Server http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/ Here are some more possible additions..

If these solutions were put into print or FAQ format then perhaps David wouldn't have to be so angry and the stupid questions that nobody wants to answer will have a place to be sent. Perhaps but that is no excuse. I rely on opensource software a lot and have often found myself in a similar scenario like that of the original poster of this thread where documentation did not suffice and I didn't receive any replies to my requests for help on mailing lists. Just because we are able to download and use free software does not mean that we are absolutely entitled to free support. Developers and experienced system administrators who donate their time and post to these mailing lists probably have other priorities - it's a little presumptuous to think that they *have* to answer our calls for help within a certain time frame.
Re: BDB or skiplist?
Andreas wrote: I see that the cyrus-imap-2.2 branch already uses skiplist as the default format. Does this recomendation also apply to the 2.1 branch or was this due to some code change between 2.1 and 2.2? Here are some notes which might help you in deciding which database backend to use and why. Recommendations are offered for both 2.1 and 2.2 releases.. http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/WhatDatabaseBackend

Re: Cyrus on FreeBSD
Jason Williams wrote: I was curious if anyone was running Cyrus on a FreeBSD system? I'm strongly considering running cyrus for our mail server here and I noticed that is currently available via the ports tree for FreeBSD. I would like to know what your experiences have been: Good? Bad? How's your performance and if you have had any big problems? I've been using Cyrus IMAP since the 2.0 branch on FreeBSD 4.* servers with great results. I use it on several sites in combination with Postfix and Amavisd-new. Right now I'm testing the 2.2 version on several test servers and eventhough that branch is labeled 'beta' it performs brilliantly. Performance has been great on average servers (1 ghz, 1 gig ram, hardware raid) but you might want to check with others who manage high traffic sites. Haven't experienced any big problems, just read the docs and search the mailing list archives. Good luck.
Re: virtual domain and postfix problem

Whatever I write, it gives the same error (user unknown in virtual alias table). However when I check it with "postmap -q", the database seems OK. What I understand from this is I have to find a way to pass both username and domain part of e-mail to the postfix. Let's assume you have a cyrus user (part of a virtual domain) called "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Remove virtual_alias_domains and virtual_alias_maps from your main.cf file and add these lines instead.. transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport relay_domains = foo.org relay_recipient_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients Then add your information in this format to the above mentioned files..

lmtp and uppercase email addresses
Hi. I've searched this mailing list and come across some posts which indicate that cyrus 2.2 (I'm running Cyrus-IMAP 2.2.1 with Postfix 2.0.9 on FreeBSD 4.8) is not case sensitive when dealing with user accounts/email addresses. That doesn't appear to be the case with my installation. Whenever the server receives an email where the address is all in uppercase letters I get the following error in my mail log.. host /var/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command) Mail delivered to the same account gets accepted by cyrus if the address is in lowercase. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here so I would appreciate it if someone could point out what I've overlooked. Thanks! Here are the relevant parts of my imapd.conf file, I can provide the entire file if necessary.. sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb sasldb_path: /usr/local/etc/sasldb2 username_tolower: yes # /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -l 220 mail.tdneti.com LMTP Cyrus v2.2.1-BETA ready mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 2.1.0 ok rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 550-Mailbox unknown.

You might want to consider updating your pkgsrc tree and upgrading Cyrus-IMAP to 2.1.11 and see if that helps you too.
