Websieve, ACLs, bulletin boards
Hello, I'm trying to use Websieve (version 0.61h) to set ACLs on certain bulletin boards. I have a test bulletin board for which I have all rights. When trying to give rights to user "foo" on bulletin board "bar", I get "Error modifying user.tztuomin.bar, Err: Mailbox does not exist" So it seems that Websieve is prefixing the name of my Inbox to the name of the bulletin board I'm trying to modify. Why's that? -- Tuuli Tuominen University of Helsinki IT Department

I think sieveshell would work, if you opened a pipe to it, and wrote the
password, then the commands to it.
The other way (example):
1. create a temp file, like /tmp/example1 that contains
thepasswordhere
list
2. use the command:
cat /tmp/example1 | sieveshell -u usernamehere 127.0.0.1
And voila!
The first approach might be more secure.

Good morning Folks, IS there any one on the list that is willing to do contract support for cyrus/sieve/silkymail? Also what are people using for mailing lists? Thanks! -Kiarna

Hi, I got a small script that I use to backup my mailserver every saturday. My problem is that a few times a year the machine i use for backup is taken offsite (we haul or office around a lot). Then the script stalls because the nfs mount fails. Naturally this becomes a problem. Could someone supply me som sh or bash scripting code so I can make sure that this will not happen, and that the script stops and just starts cyrus (maybe with a mail to someone as well).

Problem: One user is deliverd, Two are rejected
I don't know if this is a problem that is caused by cyrus Imap server or by the postfix mail program. As you can read I am running postfix as the MTA and Cyrus Imap server. The problem I have is the following. When I send mail (internally) to an existing user, the mail is correctly delivered to the users mailbox, without any errors... This is the same for any user on my mailserver. Now here comes the problem... when I create a message wich is destined for a user (internal) and add another TO, CC or BCC , I get an error back saying that the mailboxes do not exist, but here is the funny part... the mail does get delivered to the people I sent it to. Personally I think this has something to do with the Postfix program, but I post it here too, since I think that there are more people, that use this same configuration, who've had this problem. Any help is welcome Thanks, Aukjan van Belkum

Re: Sieve again on cyrus 2.0.16
Well, I'm feeling the need to implement Sieve on one of my servers too.
So I'm preparing a new release of the rpm packages.
In the release 3 (cyrus-imapd-2.0.16-3rm) I limited myself to adding
the sieve service line to the /etc/service file at install time.
But that's far from what is needed to have the full environment for
Sieve to work correctly.
You need also to create the directories where the users's scripts
will be stored (I'm putting them in /var/imap/sieve; the default
Cyrus uses is /usr/cyrus). Let's say it's x
Then, you need to tell Cyrus about that (in /etc/imapd.conf):
sievedir: x
sieveusehomedir: no
And perhaps specify the location of the sendmail binary (if any) of
your MTA with:
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
(that's for Postfix rpm package, Cyrus default is /usr/lib/sendmail)
Then you must create the a..z dirs under x.
Note: The x/ and x/{a..z} dirs mut be owned by cyrus.mail
and with mod 0750.
I hope being able to finish the new package release soon (I'm
creating a new cyrus-imapd-sieve sub-package implementing all the
steps above) but I'm trying to give the option to enable SNMP
support to the src.rpm rebuilder and I want to get it right for
all the Red Hat releases I'm targetting (6.2 ... 7.2)
The specfile is starting to look a little messy :-/
Hope this helps.

It's been a while since I wrote a shell script--I always use Perl nowadays
because it provides a superset of the features and a more consistent syntax.
Anyway, normally when I have to deal with something like this in Perl I just
set up an alarm:
$SIG{ALRM} = sub {$mount_failed=1};
alarm 120; # call me back in two minutes
eval {do_something_that_might_timeout()};
alarm 0; # turn alarm off
if ($mount_failed) {
# do something
} else {
# do a different thing
}
There's probably a way of handling signals in Bash, but I'm not sure what it
is.
You could just replace your shell script with Perl--stick backticks around
calls to shell stuff to get them executed as shell commands rather than Perl
statements.

Re: FWD: cyrus 2.0.16/SIEVE
Hai Again,
Yes I dont understand cyrus-2.xx running sieve more difficult than ver 1.,
and installsieve/sieveshell cannot running with cyrus admin.
if i have thousand of user, it is not secure to write password first to
file and pipe it to sieveshell/installsieve.
i dont have solution for this case, it is little tricky, i makee script to do:
1. if user want forward/vacation, script make a password to file first
2. make sieve script
3. run installsieve:
exec("installsieve -u $user -i $file.script -a $file < password")
4. delete user password file and script file.
5. i must have directory for apache to write file.
its to hard to understand why sieve tool to do it. or any better solution. :(

Reliable mailstore
I'm working on a project which involves building a scalable and (mostly) fault-tolerant mailstore. I haven't settled on the software I'm going to use yet, so I'm looking through lots of documentation to try to get a picture of what's out there. In any case, what I'm trying to end up with is a system built around a large filestore (suitably RAIDed for reliability) with multiple front-end systems (for scalability). I've noticed in the Cyrus documentation that NFS is not an option for doing this kind of thing, so I'm left wondering if there's some other way to do it. I'm pretty open minded, and am happy to have anyone attempt to convince me that their favorite software will deliver what I'm hoping to be able to do, so if anyone has been down this path before I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Coupla thing re: Cyrus. One method for scaling under Cyrus is to use an special front end to IMAP, of which a couple leap to mind - The Murder IMAP Aggregator at http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/ag.html, or Perdition, the mail retrieval proxy at http://www.vergenet.net/linux/perdition/ . Not that I've (had to) use either of these products, just that I'm aware of them. The other thing is that CMU still run their campus wide Cyrus installation on one machine, the specs of which escape me (but supports something like 100K users under Solaris?
