Postfix cyrus

[Manou Rabary]

Hi all,
I use cyrus imap with postfix.
I saw in a documentation ;-) how to use postfix to transport mail:

insert in /etc/postfix/master.cf the following line:


cyrus unix  -   n   n   -   -   pipe
flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -e -m ${extension}
${user}

But I can't locate cyrdeliver.

In /var/log/mail.log, I have:

Mar  4 16:20:38 rajako pipe[15758]: fatal: pipe_comand: execvp
/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver: No such file or directory
Mar  4 16:20:39 rajako postfix/pipe[15757]: 335C4C604:
to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=cyrus, delay=3, status=bounced
(Command died with status 1: /usr/sbin/cyrdeliver)


How can I solve the problem? What file to use instead of cyrdeliver?

Thanx in advance
Manou

What version of Cyrus are you using 

( find // -name cyrdeliver ) Although I thought to was called deliver
but 
prehaps cyrus deliver and shouldnt you use LMTP instead ? (if the
version of cyrus supports)

Your master.cf file should actually have an entry like the following:
cyrus unix  -   n   n   -   -   pipe
   flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -m ${extension} ${user}

cyrdeliver has been deprecated in favor of deliver.

 The documentation was written for an earlier version of cyrus
 
 cyrus unix  -   n   n   -   -   pipe

 is working fine on one of my servers
 
 Strangely the default mastercf that accompanies postfix 113 (latest
 stable) is also incorrect :(

Want sieve but don't want delivery duplicate supression

[Olaf Frczyk]

Hi,

Any hope to get it working? It makes trouble, especially with mailing 
lists
Eg somebody posted mail to group1,group2, and to me
In result I see only one message
But I have filter in sieve, so it sorts mail into different folders
So in my inbox is no message, only in folder for group1
As I don't have time to look for messages in group1, I would like to have 
it in my inbox, so I know that somebody posted a message to me, and I have 
to reply on it
Will it be possible in next imapd version: 21?

Olaf Fraczyk

Cannot compile 2.1.2 with DB4.0.14

[J. W. Andersen, ICCC]

Hi all

To make myself a fresh start, I decided to take off with all the latest stuff for my 
mailserver, so I downloaded DB4014, SASL211, Postfix114 and IMAPD212 The 
first 3 installed with no problems

With IMAPD, configure and make depend runs OK When I get to
make all CFLAGS=-O, I ran into troubles when linking the imapd
The errors occus in libcyrusa(cyrusdb_db3o), where various functions
(init, done, myopen etc) reports

undefined reference to 'db__4000'

where  is version, env_create, strerror and create

This obviously having something to do with DB, I looked at configlog
to get an idea It showed up, that even I explicitely specified the DB40
directory for --with-dbdir, the configure routine line 1919 was not satisfied 
herewith, and ran all the version numbers from 40 descending, untill it finally found 
at match at 31

I do have a DB31 on the box too, being used for other purposed, so I am somewhat 
reluctant to get rid of that, but to the best of my knowledge, the 2 DB's can coexist 
The 4014 is in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB40

I spent the better part of a weekend studying configure, and got a feeling, that the 
problems lays aruond statement 1950

if eval test \'echo '$ac_cv_lib_'

but regret to say, that I am unable to figure out what it is doing - though I have 
been programming assembler and C for many years, my knowledge of Linux scripting 
language is very limited If someone has the patience to explain that statement to me, 
maybe I could help out myself another time

Anyway, in a deparate  and probably not very clever, attempt to get on, I tried to 
modify a following statement, line 1956, to read

LIBS= -ldb-40 ${LIBS}

to force configure to take interest in DB4 It rsulted in almost the same problem at 
the same spot, althoug the suffix _4000 now no more occurred in the undefined 
referenced

I have the feeling, I am missing something serious - can anyone please help me out ?

Any help highly appreciated - TNX in advance

According to the documentatoin of postfix, cyrus has changed so much that the
deliver program (installed under /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver) is no longer
compatible. Change default_transport: cyrus to commented out value, then add
mailbox_transport: lmtpd.

This worked for me.

Cyrus-Imapd-2.0.16 doesn´t work with aliases or virtusertable??

[Marcelo Maraboli]

Hello folks.

I have Cyrus-Imapd-2.0.16 working with sendmail-8.12.2 with one
problem

- I send an email to the server and it does not recognize the 
/etc/mail/aliases entries unless the user has a valid cyrus account!!!

Then how am I supposed to re-direct email to another domain for a 
specific user..??

i.e. in /etc/mail/aliases
user1   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the same thing happens in /etc/mail/virtusertable...etc.

any clues?

cyrus hangs when trying to connect (new install)

[Roger Filk]

Howdy,

I've searched forever int he archives and on the web for this, and can't 
find a clue that helps:

I just installed Cyrus-imap 2016 (and cyrus-sasl 1527, both with the 
berkeley db 31) on my redhat 61 server, and I am pretty positive I 
followed the HOWTO to the letter, but now when I try to telnet in, it just 
hangs after the escape character prompt Like so:

$ telnet localhost imap
Trying 127001
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'

I can't even begin to figure out what might be causing this, the only hint 
in the archives said that if sasl is configured with a different version of 
the berkeley db that imap, then you can get this error, but I recompiled 
sasl to make sure and still nothing

Any help would be loved, thanks!

imapd unavailable when a lot of connections are started from inetd

[Alain Tesio]

Hello,

When I make a lot of connections with cyradm in a row, the connection
fails after processing some of them, I don't know where this limit
comes from, the problem is that the imap server is definitely not
available, see details below

Is it a known behaviour when imapd is started from inetd, do you
consider this as a vulnerability to a DOS attack ?

Alain

The line in /etc/inetdconf is:
imap2   stream  tcp nowait  cyrus   /usr/sbin/tcpd \
/usr/sbin/imapd


From a python script which launches cyradm feeded with a tcl script
trough a pipe It fails to connect after 76 connections in 33 s
It needs a sleep of about 04 seconds between each execution of
cyradm to success

cyradm: creating the mailbox 'INBOXMLdevmodpythonarchiveY2001M10'

cyradm error:

nmap shows that the imap2 port is unavailable:

From the inetd man page:

 The optional ``max'' suffix (separated from ``wait'' or ``nowait'' by
 a dot) specifies the maximum number of server instances that may be

 defaults to 40

RE: imapd unavailable when a lot of connections are started from inetd

[Enric Ramos]

Darren,

I had the same behavior some weeks ago.
When the server had 500 imapd processes it hanged and it didn't response until the 
cyrus server was restarted...
my problem was related to the number of open files that the system was treating.

I don't know if this is the same problem, but try to increase this...

in my case, I have /proc/sys/fs/file-max setted to 100.
Try to do: echo 100  /proc/sys/fs/file-max and cross your fingers :-)

P.D: I use 100 due to the server we are using has a huge utilization... perhaps 
you will need to increase /proc/sys/fs/file-max to a lower number.

In this way I'm able to have, without further problems, 1500-2000 imapd processes and 
the server responds perfectly.

I hope this solves your issue.

Regards.

Enric

RE: Cyrus-Imapd-2.0.16 doesn´t work with aliases or virtusertable??

[Enric Ramos]

Hi Marcelo:

I have the same scenario than you...
And it works fine.

Try to put in virtusertable user1@domain instead of user1 only. It works for me.
(I mean: [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED])
And don't forget to makemap the virtusertable file !!

Hope this helps.
