cyrus21 cyrdeliver
Is anyone else using the cyrus21 packages able to use cyrdeliver? I have been unable to make it work on my setup, it can't connect to lmtp because of sasl_setprop errors. It'd help to know if it's a problem in the binary or if it's just my configuration. -- Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: IMAP recommendations
must configure your MTA to deliver to procmail instead of cyrus, and use cyrdeliver to send the email from procmail to cyrus. Which is much slower than simply delivering it to cyrus and using sieve in the first place. As a side note, if your MTA can speak LMTP, that's probably the best way to get the messages into Cyrus. Postfix does this beautifully, I don't know about the others.. -- Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: IMAP recommendations
cool. I'm using postfix. But I've never heard of LMTP... Any starting points for RTFM-ing? I found something on the postfix.org site... In the postfix big picture, where does this fit/replace? LMTP is Local Mail Transfer Protocol. You can read all you want about it in RFC 2033. The idea of having Postfix use LMTP is performance, it replaces the use of an external program (in this case, cyrdeliver) to do the delivery. cyrdeliver also uses LMTP, but if you can get your MTA to connect to Cyrus (either by unix socket or tcp/ip) and deliver via LMTP, you can eliminate the middleman and rack up some performance. Since using a unix socket introduces permissions problems, I took the easy road and used tcp/ip. In /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_transport=lmtp:inet:localhost:lmtp In /etc/cyrus.conf: lmtp cmd=lmtpd -a listen=localhost:lmtp prefork=0 maxchild=20 (Note that the -a means connections to the LMTP port are preauthorized, which is potentially a security risk, but since I'm the only local user on my box I didn't care) Hope this helps. -- Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: HW raid 0 setup
Is this correct? Since I'm setting this up as Raid0, shouldn't sda and sdb be half that size at 8984MB each? Or is it typical of Raid0 to report the combined size of the two drives it uses for striping? Speaking of hardware RAID, I've set up a RAID-1 (mirroring) array on my server. Everything works fine EXCEPT for boot. I cannot get the machine to boot from the hard drives at all. LILO seems to install just fine, no error messages. The RAID card is a 3Ware 3w-. Anyone have any tips for booting the system from the array using this setup?

One can start the daemon manually with /usr/sbin/imapd, but we can't figure out why the daemon doesn't start with the rest of the services in inetd. Have you checked your logs for any clues as to why it won't work? Did you restart inetd after the config file was edited? If you forgot to restart inetd, 'killall -HUP inetd' ought to do the trick.
