Might have to keep tweaking the file for real users but I can live with that (I think 8) Also the behaviour seems to have changed since the sendmail book was written it now keeps matching till it can't stop, so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] chris @paradox.demon.co.uk[EMAIL PROTECTED] works, but: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] @paradox.demon.co.uk[EMAIL PROTECTED] recursed too much. (sendmail book says it only does single matching, ah well nothing like a bit of confusion) now you may be able to do something like this in sieve, I haven't looked, but other then that there is no way to do the user mapping at this layer. I've not looked at sieve yet, documentation seems a tad sparse on it (but then I've not searched that hard yet) Thanks, Chris
Re: Too many users with Cyrus IMAP
Thanks everyone for helping.
Now that the problem is well understood, I will need to modify the hash code
to adapt to my numeric usernames and probably install ReiserFS as it is
faster than Ext3 according to my research.
When I installed Cyrus Imap I follow the installation instructions by the
book. Does any one know if you have to set the partition directories to
update synchronouslysome when using Ext3 or ReiserFS ?
Where is the hashing code ? What function should I modify ?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Re: Too many users with Cyrus IMAP
what you have run into is a limit in the ext2/3 fs on the max number of
directory entries you can have.
there are patches out there for cyrus to create a second tier of
directories rather then having all mailboxes in the user directory you
have user/a user/b user/c etc (or in your case /1 /2 /3 etc) to avoid not
only these problems, but also the problem that ext2/3 does sequential
seaches through the directory so with this many entries you will already
be very slow.
also take a look at reiserfs and XFS as possible candidates for you to use
for your mailboxes, both of them have very different structures that are
designed to handle the large numbers of directories problem better.

Subject: Too many users with Cyrus IMAP
Hi,
I have installed Cyrus 2.0.16 on Red Hat 7.2 with the standard SASL
cyrus-sasl-1.5. I have been able to use it successfully and create perl
web
administration tools for managing mailboxes.
I am currently doing a stress test, I need to be able to handle more
than
100 thousand users on this server. I modified Cyrus Imap code so it can
accept numeric accounts which I need as I am creating emails for a
cellular
company ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I made a perl script to create
10
accounts. I am using ext3 filesystem under linux. After the user
number
31948 was created, no more accounts where created. Examining the
imapd.log,
I found that it was complaining about too many links error, see below
extract from imapd.log:
Feb 24 22:45:54 mail imapd[22212]: abort_txn: aborting txn 2147683085

Any help is greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if we could split /var/spool/imap/user on several
partitions, is this possible ? What options do I have ?
Following I will show several configurations files I am using:
/etc/imapd.conf -

Re: Too many users with Cyrus IMAP
Hi Walter, Thanks for your message. After modifying the hashing code, how should I configure multiple partitions ? I checked the manual for imapd.conf but don't understand exactly how this is accomplished. Extract from impad.conf follows: partition-default: /var/spool/imap(this is the only one I already have on my imapd.conf) partition-one: /var/spool/imap1 (Do I have to add somehing like this ?) partition-two: /var/spool/imap2 Is this correct ? Does the hashing code must take this into account (several partitions) to be able to spawn directories distributed along them ?

Take a look at the hashimapspool option. When you modified the code to accept numeric ids, you may have missed the hashing code. This will have the user directories created under a number of subdirectories so you won't run into this problem. You probably want to make sure the hash algorithm creates fewer than 3000 directories in any given directory. Also, you may want to have multiple user partitions and not just put everyone on the same partition. Walter

Most messages to a non-existant mailbox in our domain is untargeted spam hoping that particular usernames exist.

Re: sieveshell authentication failed on Solaris
As you mentioned you have started saslauthd to use PAM. Therefore you need to have the different configs in PAM. If timsieved needs authentication, it sends the request to saslauthd with service sieve, saslauthd send the auth request to PAM with service sieve. That's why you need a sieve config in PAM. -Simon Keith Kee schrieb: I don't quite understand why I should bother about pam.conf if the pwcheck_method is saslauthd?

Just wondering if work is still being done on Cyrus. I have sent repeated messages to cyrus-bugs without an answer; there seem to be serious flaws with the integration of SASL 2.1.1 with cyrus 2.1.1, but without help from the CMU folks I don't have any idea. We are getting ready to cut over a 1000+ user system to the latest cyrus, but it now seems to be abandoned by its maintainers. Does anyone know the story? Thanks. B.
