[lance: number of messages in folder view]
I am using a imap server and I am trying get the total number number of messages to show up when I view the folder list. I can see the number of new messages but not the total number. What do I put in my folder_format statement to have this show up? Lance
bare newline errors, many Qf files in /var/spool/mqueue
Hello, We are running sendmail 8.11.6 and using cyrus 2.0.16 as the delivery agent. User mailboxes are under quota. We are getting a number of "bare newline" error messages. The error messages look like this: ... while talking to localhost: >>> DATA <<< 554 5.6.0 Message contains bare newlines 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable Then the control file in /var/spool/mqueue is renamed from qf* to Qf*. Then the same mail item reappears in the mailq. Every time the mailq processed, another Qf* file is created. The email does not look abnormal. I read that cyrus requires carriage returns before line feeds. It seems crazy that the mail clients or users might be inadvertently introducing something that is causing this. We never had this problem before we began using cyrus as our mail delivery agent. Any ideas? And here is another problem, similar in that Qf* files are stacking up. This also appeared when we began using cyrus as our mail delivery agent. External user A sends mail to our user B. User B is over quota and we have configured cyrus to immediately bounce such messages back to external user A, but A either doesn't exist or the message size is too large so the external site bounces the bounce back. It gets removed from the mailq and the qf* control file turns into a Qf* file which stays in /var/spool/mqueue. Shouldn't such bounces messages be sent to postmaster? Is there a way to alter the behavior so don't have to constantly clean /var/spool/mqueue? Thank you, Leslie Carroll UNIX System Administrator The University at Albany [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SASL-LDAP Patch = Ahhh!
Title: SASL-LDAP Patch = Ahhh! Hey All, So Im trying to compile Cyrus-sasl with the SASL-Auth-LDAP patch (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyrus-utils/) and cyrus-sasl 1.5.24. I untar everything and run: patch -p1 < sasl-ldap+mysql.patch autoheader autoconf automake -i export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/include export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/lib ./configure --with-ldap=/usr/local/lib make make install Everything goes without a hitch. Then I try to run cyradm myserver.mydomain.com and enter the root user’s password from the ldap directory and then I get the following error: IMAP Password: Login failed: ldap_basedn not defined at /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 78 cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as root and the following is printed to the auth log: Oct 24 19:53:43 servername imapd[6199]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Unknown error 4294936307 Oct 24 19:53:43 servername imapd[6199]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Unknown error 4294936307 Oct 24 19:53:43 servername imapd[6199]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Unknown error 4294936307 Oct 24 19:53:43 servername imapd[6199]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Unknown error 4294936307 Oct 24 19:53:43 servername imapd[6199]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Unknown error 4294936307 Oct 24 19:53:43 servername imapd[6199]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Unknown error 4294936307 Please help!

Re: SASL LDAP patch - way to specify multiple servers?
There's dns capability to combine roundrobin querys with a "servicename" I think. Thus you can point to "ldapserver" and the dns will send your query to the server that's up and running. I never tried it myself, but you'll find it at www.bayour.com in the ldap-kerberos howto :=) Tarjei "Kevin M.

IMHO using hearbeat is the simplest solution. It will handle ip addresses takeover and could also handle switch update. No need to worry about the DNS. Just go to linux-ha.org and follow the Getting Started document. -- Bernard FRIT
cyrus sasl
Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct place for this Where/who can I make suggestions to about changes to the cyrus sasl library. I have modified it a small amount for specific use for my work, and they think it would be good to include in the original source. Cheers Brett

Strange IMAP Problem
Greetings, I'm all out of ideas, and hoping that someone on this mailing list can help me. After reading the book Managing IMAP, I decided to give Cyrus IMAP a try. So I set up a Linux box with Redhat 7.1, downloaded and installed Postfix (20010228-pl04), and downloaded and installed Cyrus IMAP (1.5.19). I have Postfix configured to use the Cyrus deliver program as the MDA, and everything appeared to be working correctly. That is I can send and receive emails using several IMAP clients (Netscape, Eudora, and Outlook). However, the moment I create an additional mailbox under a user's mail directory, problems with the cyrus.seen files begin to crop up. Specifically, I create a user.amyers mailbox using the cyradm utility. I am then able to access mail, and the IMAP server maintains the cyrus.seen file without difficulty. bash-2.04$ ls -lR amyers amyers:total 88-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 652 Oct 25 20:01 235.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1285 Oct 25 21:01 251.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 4813 Oct 26 14:01 360.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1402 Oct 26 15:01 461.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 4467 Oct 26 16:01 565.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1421 Oct 26 16:06 566.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 11741 Oct 26 16:07 567.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1787 Oct 26 16:09 568.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 11010 Oct 26 16:09 569.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 5030 Oct 26 16:12 570.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 7144 Oct 26 16:12 cyrus.cache-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 135 Oct 26 15:27 cyrus.header-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 564 Oct 26 16:12 cyrus.index-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 180 Oct 26 16:28 cyrus.seen I then create a user.amyers.temp mailbox, and the cyrus.seen files are no longer maintained properly. The system creates cyrus.seen.NEW files which differ from the cyrus.seen files. From this point on, each time I move from one mailbox to the next the message status is not preserved and the mail client continuously complains that the mailboxes are not synchronized. When I synchronize the mailboxes, every message reverts to an unread status. bash-2.04$ ls -lR amyersamyers:total 96-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 652 Oct 25 20:01 235.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1285 Oct 25 21:01 251.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 4813 Oct 26 14:01 360.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1402 Oct 26 15:01 461.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 4467 Oct 26 16:01 565.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1421 Oct 26 16:06 566.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 11741 Oct 26 16:07 567.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1787 Oct 26 16:09 568.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 11010 Oct 26 16:09 569.-rw-rw 2 cyrus mail 5030 Oct 26 16:12 570.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 7144 Oct 26 16:12 cyrus.cache-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 135 Oct 26 15:27 cyrus.header-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 564 Oct 26 16:12 cyrus.index-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 180 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.seen-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 240 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.seen.NEWdrwxrwx--- 2 cyrus mail 4096 Oct 26 16:31 temp amyers/temp:total 20-rw-rw 2 cyrus mail 5030 Oct 26 16:12 1.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1064 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.cache-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 135 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.header-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 96 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.index-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 0 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.seen-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 0 Oct 26 16:31 cyrus.seen.NEW If I delete the temp mailbox and overwrite cyrus.seen with cyrus.seen.NEW, everything goes back to normal! bash-2.04$ ls -lR amyers/amyers/:total 88-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 652 Oct 25 20:01 235.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1285 Oct 25 21:01 251.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 4813 Oct 26 14:01 360.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1402 Oct 26 15:01 461.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 4467 Oct 26 16:01 565.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1421 Oct 26 16:06 566.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 11741 Oct 26 16:07 567.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 1787 Oct 26 16:09 568.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 11010 Oct 26 16:09 569.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 5030 Oct 26 16:12 570.-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 7144 Oct 26 16:12 cyrus.cache-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 135 Oct 26 15:27 cyrus.header-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 564 Oct 26 16:12 cyrus.index-rw-rw 1 cyrus mail 240 Oct 26 16:36 cyrus.seen Has anybody run into this problem before?

Ok the db's are ok. still I am having problems
hi, As you can see by the object, i've a "death by 11" and my libdb is ok. I've read the FAQ at http://cyrus-utils.sourceforge.net/faq/install/deathby11.php (Thanks guys, but you should make it more easy to find :) ) and i know there is a bug into the software and i need a workaround. Obviusly my situation is: my client -> imap -> sasl -> pam-ldap -> sasl -> openldap, but i want to append Active Directory validation of my password. Skipping pam-ldap is a good thing, but with a sasl patch is there the possibility for me to access to Actice Directory? Any infos? tnx, Dino

Well, the reason that I say pretty clean is because I have not failed over a box of 15,000 users on 2.0.x. I am still in the lab with this concept. We do have a deployment of 1.6.x with 20,000 users (two instances in a four node cluster) that does not deal with corrupt databases, and it has only had 9 minutes of downtime in the last three years. I am not sure how many hard failovers that consisted of. In short, I have not experienced any problems, but I cannot guarentee that it will not happen. My advice is to make sure that you have a place to test the solution. Even if it is one machine, load it up with data, and start turning it off and back on over and over and over. ;) > - What failover software do you use? Veritas Cluster Server 1.3.0. It is probably the easiest solution. It is definately not the cheapest. > - Could it happen that DB3 files (like /var/imap/mailboxes.db) get > destroyed when a server crashes and these files are open for writing? I am sure they can, but I am not familiar enough with the details of sleepcat db to answer this question definativly. With HA Solutions, I think that you have to balance the costs of downtime versus the time that you take to do the paranoid checks of the database. I would like to investigate more on how different corrupts affect users. Some applications do not fit well into the HA arena. I am dealing with an app right now, that will consistantly get a corrupt database, and it can take up to 10 minutes with 7 users to rebuild and fix the databases. IMHO, that is unacceptable. This application is going through some changes, so I hope they get it right on the next version. I do believe that cyrus does fit very well in the HA arena. > > btw: What about a "redundant-Cyrus-server-setup-HOWTO"? That would be a great idea.

Problem with ipurge
In my mail setup I re-route my high volume mailing lists to separate folders, then rely on ipurge to prune them. I upgraded to Cyrus imap 2.0.16 awhile back, and over time noticed that some mail appears to be getting deleted before the 2 week expiration I specified. In fact, I've seen a folder with over 100 unread messages that arrived overnight get reduced to 50 unread messages. I'm guessing this means something in ipurge or the server is getting the timestamp wrong for the messages. Has anyone else seen this? I'm running Debian unstable with kernel 2.4.9, in case this matters. Dave McCracken == Dave McCracken IBM Linux Base Kernel Team 1-512-838-3059 [EMAIL PROTECTED]T/L 678-3059
Question about using noatime fs option
Has anyone using Solaris (or other OS's??) tried specifying the "noatime" mount option on filesystems containing the various components of the cyrus system? Does it save any significant IO by not having to update the access time on the inodes? Does anyone know of any problems specifying this? Similar question regarding ufs logging under Solaris 8. Any performance benefits? -Shawn Sivy The College of New Jersey
Re: SASL LDAP patch - way to specify multiple servers?
Hi Kevin, Most of the LDAP libraries (for sure OpenLDAP which is what we are using) allow you to specify multiple redundant LDAP servers in the list separated by spaces. This works in a failover configuration. If a query to the first times out, it goes to the second, then the third, etc. We actually use three entries, "ldap ldap1 ldap2". ldap itself is set up in dns to round robin to the ip's of ldap1 and ldap2. This gives us load balancing and failover (albeit at a pretty long timeout interval if ldap1 is down and the dns round robin gives the ip address for ldap1.

master and hosts.allow
Dear Cyrus Admins, Cyrus 2.0.16 is installed and woks. But the problem is that it can't work when such configuration is in hosts.allow: All : Local pop3d: xxx.xxx.xxx.0/255.255.255.0 imapd: xxx.xxx.xxx.0/255.255.255.0 but when I change it to : All: xxx.xxx.xxx.0/255.255.255.0 , everything is okay. Is there any other port which I should keep it open? (With old hosts.allow cyrus 2.0.7 worked fine.) Thanks --F. Taj
Qmail+Cyrus vs VMailmgr vs VPop
Hai, I was successfully install qmail+cyrus, for virtualdomain, I just put into virtualdomain (/var/qmail/control): test.dom:cyrus test2.dom:cyrus then i make scrypt to deliver all mail from test.dom, test2.dom in ~cyrus to use cyrus deliver (/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver), I think i dont need vpop or vmailmgr because all mail save to cyrus mailbox, I just want to discuss its possible without vpop or vmailmgr if using qmail+cyrus?, but I dont know, how many concurent connection if using cyrus deliver? I use pam-mysql or pam-ldap for authenticate via pam for imap/pop. Why i use qmail+cyrus: qmail: virt. domain, secure, fast, only one user (cyrus user only) cyrus: virtual user for mailbox, quota management, many tool for manage user.
