Would someone please tell me how can I fix this? Why was /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db there? Did you have a previous version of cyrus-imapd manually installed (i.e not via rpm)? If there's no useful data there, I suggest you remove the rpm, rm -rf /var/lib/imap, rm -rf /var/spool/imap and reinstall the rpm. Otherwise, if you have previuosly compiled cyrus-imapd yourself *and* the data there is useful, it's possible that the database format for mailboxes.db is incompatible with the one used by the rpm. Use your previous binary install to dump it to a flat file (ctl_mboxlist -d), install the rpm and then recover it (ctl_mboxlist -u). You'll probably have to use the previous binary install to convert other files (cvt_cyrusdb) away from berkeley db. It's also possible that simply running a db_upgrade (from the package db4-utils) on the affected file will solve the problem.

What specifically is it that you want done? Procmail, by default, drops
all mail that isn't directed somewhere else via a recipe into $DEFAULT,

In /etc/resolv.conf I have no DNS for the local LAN (I have a 8139 eth card, but not used), so it's empty, and in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf I have the primary isp DNS (my isp has only one DNS...).

I just assembled a dual Athlon box for a friend last week, and as far as I can tell the only difference between that and the single CPU boxes I usually deal with is a matter of degree. It seems to me that dual processors are capable of running more simultaneous processor intensive applications without errors. Compiling kernels/software, serving a LAN and pretending to be a workstation at the same time, "advanced" multi-media tasks, or whatever other applications are built/optimized to actually take advantage of dual processors. As far as "day to day use" differences you'd probably find that, for most people, a single extremely fast processor, and as much *low* memory as possible will run most things just as quickly. Anything beyond 1 GB of RAM seems to be slower, plus most of the motherboards available require ECC registered memory (more expensive and even slower) for anything above 1.5 GB. Specs for the system I did last week; (dual boot with Windows XP Pro, which he hasn't installed yet) Asus A7M266-D 2X Athlon MP 2000+ 1 GB (2x512 MB) Crucial PC-2700 DDR 80 GB Maxtor GForce 4 (MSI) 440 MX 64 MB video Enermax 450 Watt PS MSI 52x24x52 CD-RW All GNU/Linux partitions excepting /boot are XFS. There was no trouble with the Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo install, or any configuration of the system. To say the install was rather quick (compared to his PIII 500 system) may be a bit of an understatement. The biggest (only) problem was convincing the LinkSys router he uses to assign an IP address. NVidia's installer ran error free, both with the installed kernel (.13mdk enterprise) and the upgrade (.25mdk enterprise). Unless you are doing a lot more than just desktop usage you'd probably be happier and save a few bucks with an Athlon XP 3000+. Or a P4 3.2 (:-P). I tried to talk my friend out of the dual CPU system for a couple of weeks before I finally caved and ordered the components. Should have spared myself the bother since it didn't work. Seems he wanted bragging rights in his 'clique'. :-) I'll probably go the dual CPU route too when I build my next box. RSN that is. I can't seem to convince myself it's a waste either.

There are people out there who become frightened, pay when the threatening letter arrives with the appropriate letterhead, or the name of an organisation that is large enough to seem invincible. I hope I am wrong, but people are already starting to send money, and the longer this lasts there will be people having doubts and more will send money. We are conditioned that way. This is a cynical plan to raise money, a scam like any other. Once they stop and say that they are not carrying it any further [they dare not say they had no basis for the assertion] they will not return the money that is now residing in their coffers. Here in Oz there was a saddler who had made a saddle for a pastoral company, but couldn't recall which company he made it for, so he sent a bill for its manufacture to the ten pastoral companies that he had on his books. He received back 9 cheques. They will not care about litigation, because if they do not bring it on, no one else will, and if they do, it will be funded by those that are already sending money just to be sure and safe.
