Re: perl ok now - next problem
Cyrus IMAP 2.x runs as a daemon and NOT though Inetd (or Xinetd).
I made exactly the same mistake The best advice is to read the docs
that come with the
tarball rather than the HowTo docs cause they're out of date.

Re: bother you again -- about sieve
Hi
It seems you did not start sieve.
have a look at your /etc/services.
you need to find a line like :
sieve2000/tcp
then, have a look to /etc/cyrus.conf
you should have lines containing sieve. here is the content of my own file. you can
find it
somewhere in the
tarball of cyrus-imap :
bash-2.04$ more /etc/cyrus.conf
# standard standalone server implementation
START {
# do not delete these entries!
mboxlist cmd="ctl_mboxlist -r"
deliver cmd="ctl_deliver -r"
# this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
# idledcmd="idled"
}
# UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/imap/sockets
SERVICES {
# add or remove based on preferences
imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=0
imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0
pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=1
pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=0
sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
# LMTP is required for delivery
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
}
EVENTS {
# this is required
checkpointcmd="ctl_mboxlist -c" period=30
# this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression
delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440
}
then, stop and start cyrus.
The best way to test is by telneting :
telnet localhost sieve
bash-2.04$ telnet localhost sieve
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v1.0.0"
"SASL" "PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress regex"
OK
logout
Ok "Logout Complete"
Connection closed by foreign host.
if it's good, sieve works. note that I've never been able to make installsieve work. I
just
used websieve instead :)

no folder creation
Hi all, now I have it all up and running... :-) But now the clients (Netscape 4, OE 5) don't work as expected: they see their INBOX, but the other folders (Trash, Sent...) can be created, but they are not shown and so cannot been used. Has anyone had that problem before? Olaf

Re: lmtp connection throtling in 2.0.9 or where are the docs?
As other people suggested, it's possible to limit the number of concurrent lmtpds by careful configuration of your MTA (at least Postfix and Sendmail both can do various sorts of limiting). You might want to consider running Sendmail is queue-only mode with a very short queue run interval. I'd rather not add these smarts to Cyrus right now if it can be helped.

Re: a bug of extra long line
Could you try the following comparison instead?
p = buf + strlen(buf) - 1;
if (p == buf || (p[0] == '\n' && p[-1] != '\r')) {
/* either a \0 by itself or a \n without a \r */
p[0] = '\r';
p[1] = '\n';
p[2] = '\0';
The test is important to make sure that no bare \n get through.

Re: Unread messages being marked as read.
The .../j/jbeker/jbeker.seen file is a database file (either flat or db3; Cyrus comes preconfigured to use flat) containing "mailbox unique ids -> uid range mappings", basically. The mailbox uniqueid is in the cyrus.header file inside the mailbox and is kept the same even when the mailbox is renamed (thus keeping seen state with the mailbox). There's also a timestamp kept of the last time that the mailbox has been selected, and messages are considered recent if they came after that last time. I've been trying to reproduce these sorts of problems using imtest and have thus far been unsuccessful in doing it consistently. If anyone can tell me how to reproduce this problem consistently I'd really appreciate it. I have a few vague ideas about why it happens; it should almost certainly involve multiple concurrent connections, and the database file isn't being refreshed as often as it should. This problem basically comes about because the Cyrus server doesn't treat seen state as important as other flag state and caches it in memory for longer, and multiple sessions might do funky things.

Yeah, I think the first password is requested in order to do a saslified authentication, which fails, and then other code asks for another password. Actually, I appear to be crashing cyradm with the --auth option right now, so I'm going to say that this code really needs some work. I'll try to get around to it, though if anyone else wants to try to understand, start at "sub authenticate" in IMAP.pm. Larry

Re: [info-cyrus] cyradm & netscapeurl
Cyradm does seem to be having issues with mailboxes with spaces in them. I can at least create such mailboxes like so: yossarian.cc.cmu.edu> lm inbox* inbox yossarian.cc.cmu.edu> cm inbox.foo\ bar yossarian.cc.cmu.edu> lm inbox* inbox inbox.foo bar yossarian.cc.cmu.edu> unfortunately other stuff doesn't work so well: yossarian.cc.cmu.edu> lqr inbox.foo\ bar bar" STORAGE 0/1 (0%) yossarian.cc.cmu.edu> (but that is at least the right answer.) anyone into perl is welcomed to chip in here; i'm unlikely to get to this soon.

Re: deliver and lmtp / please help
The "z" flag is not set in the Cyrus mailer definition.

Re: Setting default quotas & acl's on user. mailboxes
autocreatequota only is set on self-created INBOXs. (With it set any user who can authenticate to the IMAP server can also create their own INBOX.) If the administrator is creating the mailbox, it's assumed that they can also create the quota. What is defaultacl doing/not doing that you want it to?

Re: Cyrus 2.0.12 and xinetd
Cyrus 2.0 no longer uses inetd (of any flavor). Larry --On Friday, March 09, 2001 08:20:36 PM -0500 Kevin J Menard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is this possible? Would I have to configure xinetd with --with-libwrap so > the lmtp can use tcp_wrappers? > > Thanks, > --Kevin >
Re: Unread messages being marked as read.
Larry, I would agree that this is almost definitely due to multiple concurrent accesses from the mail client. In my trials I have noticed that most of the more modern email clients (specifically the Microsoft ones) open many concurrent connections to the IMAP server. How difficult would it be to set the server to flush the seen state immediately? Even just to test with for a while. I don't mind loosing a little performance in the short term to eliminate the problem.

The next version of libsasl will include a "saslauthd" with a PAM module that will function similiar to this. Larry --On Wednesday, January 03, 2001 12:42:43 PM -0500 "David L.
