Re: migrating from dovecot to cyrus

Patrick - Original Message - From: Marten Lehmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: info-cyrus@lists.andrew.cmu.edu Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 8:49 PM Subject: Re: migrating from dovecot to cyrus Hello, Just out of curiosity, what kind of performance problems at what load do you have. It was claimed that dovecot is really fast and we plan to evaluate it in the near future for some projects so any hints where to dig are welcome. the difference is, that cyrus handles a lot of things while the mail is being delivered, which saves a lot of time. We had to split the incoming mailserver (smtp) and the pop3/imap server because one server couldn't handle the load any longer. Example delivery with exim+dovecot: To check the quota, exim has to count all messages (files) in all directories in the maildir (very timeconsuming with NFS mounted maildirs). Then the message is delivered to maildir/tmp and moved to maildir/new (another two NFS operations). When a user is connecting to IMAP now, dovecot has to look through all directories within the maildir of files or gone, new ones appeared and build the cache and index accordingly. This is done locally on the disk, so it is a bit faster, but it is time consuming on big maildirs anyway. Now dovecot can start serving the new message. Example delivery with exim+cyrus: Exim sends to message to cyrus via unix socket or tcp socket. The rest is done locally on the cyrus backend server: Checking for quota Updating indizes Possibly notifying an existing imap-connection about the new message So the delivery is very fast, because cyrus doesn't have to look through all messages to check the quota: It can be looked up in the index. When the user is connecting to IMAP, the index is already prepared, cyrus doesn't have to look for changes in the maildir at this stage so it can serve the new message immediately. In small setups with everything on one server, exim (or any other mta) + dovecot should work fine, while cyrus is maybe a bit more complicated to setup. But with bigger setups (or expected growth in the future) cyrus and its option of cyrus murder should scale better.

I still have the same problem of using Outlook for a very IMAP quota since the outlook uses mailbox file to store the IMAP folders, including INBOX. Office 2003 Outlook is better to handle large file in my own test, but it is still very slow to fetch mail from IMAP server. My suggestion is to distribute the mails in INBOX to several IMAP folders and this will divide the single large file of INBOX mailbox file on the client PC to several relatiively smaller mailbox files. This may reduce the CPU and RAM requirement and hence a faster mail checking. Hope this helps.

How to remove the Cyrus header in mail for security purpose?

Conditions to trigger replication in 2.3.3
Hello all, What are the conditions to trigger the replication in ver.2.3.3? My testing platform shows me that only the TOUCHED imap folder and TOUCHED email(imap flag: SEEN state will not!)will do. I have some old imap folders created before the replica is done. These folders will not replicate in my test. Also, all imap emails with SEEN status will not replicate, too. Are these normal in this 2.3.3 replication feature? Please kindly tell me if I am wrong.

Re: How can I restore the \Seen state from backup?
Hello, I have seen there is no solution of re-construction. The only way is to do imapsync. As long as I know, cyrus imapd comes with no solution of keeping user mail status. I tested to copy all /var/lib/imap files to the target server and do mail reconstruct, it worked but it is not practical since I have to shut down the cyrus server.

Hi everybody, SomeUser deletes SomeFolder by mistake; so I bring /var/spool/imap/s/user/someuser/SomeFolder content back from tape; I stop cyrus, I export mailbox.db, I edit it, add back user.someuser.SomeFolder default lrswpcida, import mailbox.txt, reconstruct -f -r someuser start cyrus. I can again subsribe to that folder BUT all mails are brand new; for some 8000 mails this might not be an option. What am I missing from the restoration process? Obviously I can not simply restore .../someuser.seen from tape as in between the deletion of the folder and my restoration from tape the user has \Seen other mails; someuser.seen is skiplist.

Rather than using telnet, use imtest which can do the proxy authentication that you need. Do something like this: imtest -t '' -m plain -a cyrus -u user servername When prompted, enter the password for cyrus (alternatively, use the -w option to put the password on the command line). This will use the PLAIN mechanism under a TLS layer to authenticate you as cyrus, but authorize you as whatever user that you want to have subscribe to mailboxes. -- Kenneth Murchison Systems Programmer Carnegie Mellon University Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

The latest 2.1.17 changes it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] if I want the full email address as the login name. (I use LDAP backend) It's fine for general use but it makes not possible to login as local user (eg. mymailuser, no domain name) Is there any workaround for this?

strange problem of global admin
Hello all, I know many of you are disscussing some problems on virtual domain and global admin. I have also read many of those problems which are very similar to my case. However I would like to mention again a strange problem on the admins parameters in /etc/imapd.conf The problem is: My value for admins is: admins: cyrus admin (/etc/imapd.conf) If I create a vitual user account, say [EMAIL PROTECTED] , then I can no way to delete it if I login in as cyrus. It is supposed the global admin, cyrus, should be able to erase it. In this case I have to login as admin and it is done. so I would like to know how the global admin works? By the way, the defaultdomain parameter is also very confusing to me since the value should appear in /etc/hosts?! WHY? Best Regards Patrick Tsang

perl: No worthy mechs found

Cyrus 2.2-1 Beta Global Admin (cyrus) problem
hello, I have tried the Cyrus 2.2-1 Beta on RH8 and RH9. It is very strange that the line in /etc/imapd.conf : admins: cyrus does not behave the same. Since I use saslauthd with mech=LDAP, I have the record for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (!) because On RH8, it acts as the global admin which can modify all the users for different domains. It uses [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the global login(!). The log shows that the login name is [EMAIL PROTECTED] , even I just type cyrus . It just appends the @localdomain after the name?! On RH9, it is NOT the case. using the same LDAP, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the user(cyrus) for the domain, localdomin!? The log shows that the login name is [EMAIL PROTECTED] , even I just type cyrus . The cyrus admin has disappeared. And I cannot find a way to use cyrus admin again. Do anyone can clarify and provide me the guideline for this? Patrick Tsang

Global admin?
I have tried to setup the global admin for 2.2.1 beta according to the doc but I failed. I have also read the mailling list, just found a litte help... Platform: RH 9 Cyrus-imapd-2.2.1 beta Cyrus-2.1.15 Openldap 2.1.22-4 (rawhide) This is my extract of my config files: /etc/imapd.conf, ... admins: cyrus [EMAIL PROTECTED]defaultdomain: localdomain... All the user records are kept in openldap 2.1.22. If I type: " cyradm --user cyrus localhost " , the log tells me that it is [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I thought it is the global admin, but it doesn't since there are some domains which are added by [EMAIL PROTECTED], I even can't list the domain user mailbox,nothing in here using " cyrus " login. So I think the [EMAIL PROTECTED] user is just one of the domain user which is NOT global user. How to setup the global admin user? Seems that some users have the same problems. Anyone can help? Patrick
