RE: cyrus hangs when trying to connect (new install)
I have too cyrus-imap 2.0.16 and cyrus-sasl 1.5.27 and I have the same problem. Does somebody know the solution? 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 2.0.16 (and cyrus-sasl 1.5.27, both with the berkeley db 3.1) on my redhat 6.1 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 127.0.0.1... 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.

lmtp or deliver from postfix
Hi all, I'm currently upgrading my mail system. I use postfix+cyrus (older versions), I wan to continue to use them. My system is RedHat 7.2, so I use rpm versions. Postfix rpm seems to work as expected (version 1.1.4). I did not found any Cyrus-imapd rpm, so I have created it myself. It is close to working (I'm in testing phase) - now I'm compiling 2.1.3. I just would like to make communication between postfix and cyrus better. Problem is, that mail to non-existent mailbox stays in postfix queue with text error Data format error. I think, that exit code of cyrus deliver is either bad or not recognised by postfix. My question is: would it help to use lmtp instead ? And in case it would: how to do that (from cyrus side)? Just uncomment #lmtp and comment out lmtpunix in cyrus.conf ? ivo -- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW:http://ivop.regionet.cz Mobile: +420 602 337776

Re: Redundant mail storage
Roland Pope wrote: From: Birger Toedtmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Second (esp. if you cannot afford the hardware described above) you may set up the heartbeat package from www.linux-ha.org. It is very easy to create failover mechnisms with heartbeat, but there is still the problem of data synchronisation (heartbeat does not deal with that). I myself use heartbeat together with rsync, which is surely unidirectional but can be turned into somewhat bidirectional in combination with heartbeat: The active machine will permanently send its data to the backup machine (simple as that: I use a cronjob that tests whether we are active or not). Upon failfailover, the situation will reverse, which leaves data intact and up-to-date. However, note that rsync is slow, if you have lots of data, you should definitely think over the first alternative. Birger, I am looking at implementing something like this at present. Would you be able to provide a summary of what you had to do, and maybe any scripts you had to build to get this to work? Thanks Roland Pope I'm planning an starting implementing a redundant mail system in 6 months (maybe a year) so it's still only in the ideas fase. One thing I wanted to test was using coda as storage and let coda's replication take care of the mail storage synchronization. If cyrus was one single threaded application there could be problems with file lock and caches, but since cyrus is a combination of several daemons that already are aware that the files get updated externally -- it may just work 8-) -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Hack Kampbjørn

Seamless migration
Hi all, I have a probably easy question for the list! We run a some mail services for a couple of domains. Currently we are using Sendmail that uses procmail to deliver to a spooldir from which a POP3 server serves mail to our users. What I'd like to know is how I can seamless phase out our POP3 server, a domain at a time, to the cyrus IMAP server. Would I just install the IMAP server and have procmail, using regexps (in procmailrc) to filter out the domains one at a time, deliver to the deliver program? Regards, Niclas Gustafson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My method is: * cyrus services on a different machine (but could be the same, important are different IP addresses) * installing http://vergenet.net/linux/perdition/ at the front serving all users, redirecting them to *their* location, old or new * moving box-by-box (sometimes bulks of boxes) to the new machine/services thereby instructing perdition to keep up-to-date. This way no normal user will notice anything, just the experienced see that their POP/IMAP services change their banners ;-) Regards, Birger

Re: starting cyrus at boot?
here's a script i use for starting/stopping/restart cyrus on my redhat

copy and paste this into a file in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d
depending on you system, call the file cyrus or whatever makes you
happy.

chmod u+x /etc/init.d/cyrus
cd /etc/rc3.d

you might need to modify some of the path names if you've installed
cyrus outside of the default locations. if you where running this on a

While we're talking about starting cyrus on Red Hat boxes I thought now would be a good time to mention the oddity I found when using Cyrus 2.0.16, Postfix, and Red Hat 6.2 + errata. This behavior is not a problem in Red Hat 7.1 or 7.2. (I was sane enough to never run Red Hat 7.0 on a server.) Because both the postfix and cyrus servers use a master process the Red Hat 6.2 init scripts can get somewhat confused when issuing stop and restart. For example /sbin/service cyrus restart has a tendency to stop the postfix 'master' process and the cyrus 'master' process. The work around for my was to symlink cymaster - master in the cyrus directory then alter the /etc/rc.d/cyrus startup script start and stop cymaster instead of master. Hope it helps someone. -- Regards, Scott Russell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Linux Technology Center, System Admin, RHCE. T/L 441-9289 / External 919-543-9289 http://bzimage.raleigh.ibm.com/webcam
Re: starting cyrus at boot?
Why not add a chkconfig line to the script and let 'chkconfig --add imapd'
after copying the script to /etc/rc.d/init.d/imapd. You can then use
chkconfig to do all of the messy stuff with links and can use chkconfig to
turn off/on the script at will...
Example of chkconfig line:
# chkconfig: 2345 55 25
# description: Cyrus IMAPD
the chkconfig line is: runlevel(s) start-priority stop-priority
So, adding the above would create links in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d to start
server in levels 2,3,4,5 and stop in levels 0,1,6.

RE: adding users via script
Thanks all but it looks like the perl stuff is somewhat broken, cyradm works
from the command line but everytime I run any of the scripts I've been sent
I get this error:
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 78.
One thing to note, when I compiled and installed cyrus-imapd-2.0.16 the perl
modules Cyrus:IMAP ended up in /usr/local/lib/ but my perl is
/usr/lib/perl5/... and cyradm didn't work until I copied the Cyrus folder
with IMAP.pm etc. over to my perl install.
so after I manually moved the modules then i could get cyradm to work. but
the perl scripts trying to access the Cyrus::IMAP modules don't seem to.

I'm trying to find a script that will allow me to add users via a single
command line entry.
I found imapcreate.pl at sourceforge but it seems to choke on
every call
to the Cyrus::IMAP libraries.
Has anyone done something like this or modified this perl
script to work?
I had this tiny one for testing, maybe you find it useful (but is perl as
well and uses Cyrus::IMAP, so if they are broken, you're lost)

Subject: Re: starting cyrus at boot?
here's a script i use for starting/stopping/restart cyrus on my redhat
server.
copy and paste this into a file in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d
depending on you system, call the file cyrus or whatever makes you
happy.
chown root.root /etc/init.d/cyrus
chmod u+x /etc/init.d/cyrus
cd /etc/rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/cyrus S99cyrus
ln -s ../init.d/cyrus K99cyrus
you might need to modify some of the path names if you've installed
cyrus outside of the default locations. if you where running this on a
solaris 7 or 8 system you could use /usr/bin/pkill instead of
/usr/bin/killall and you'd want to place the rc script in /etc/rc2.d
instead of rc3.d.

--BEGIN COPY--
#!/bin/sh

case $1 in

if [ -f /etc/cyrus.conf ] ; then

echo Shutting down Cyrus Master Process

echo Restarting Cyrus Master Process

echo Usage: $0 { start | restart | stop }
