FreeBSD port of cyrus-imapd has an IPv6 awareness by applying my an
IPv6 support patch. To accept both IPv6 and IPv4 without relying on
IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, the service structure is extended. Though I
don't met such problem, it may break the process management of master.
If you don't use an IPv6 at all, please try disabling an IPv6 by

2.1.4 + sendmail + lmtp
Hi all, I have been playing with 2.1 and have gotten to where I have to configure sendmail for local delivery. I am still running 1.6 in production, and have never used lmtp. I am running sendmail 8.12.3, and looking through cf/README I see that the only mention of lmtp is in the feature local_lmtp which expects a path of a lmtp capable mailer. I have also seen snippets of sendmail.cf files that will allow delivery to the lmtp socket, but how is that specified in the .mc file? Any working examples? I didn't see anything in the 2.1.4 docs.. What are the advantages of using lmtp? Does it alleviate the need for sendmail to run as the cyrus user when invoking deliver? What other advantages are there? Thanks! Tim

Re: [RFC][PATCH] external debugger hooks for Cyrus imapd
Here is an updated version of the patch, as included in the Debian package
of Cyrus IMAPd, release 2.1.4-8. Now the documentation us updated as well.
I've attached one extra file and a patch which I use to help users generate
the debugging information I need to track down bugs. I have also written a
quick guide for building the Debian package with -O0 -g to get symbolic
information for gdb, and about the use of debug_command. If anyone is
curious about it, just download version 2.1.4-8 of the cyrus21-imapd package
from Debian unstable (it should be in all mirrors by tomorrow).
Packagers of Cyrus for distributions are welcome to using the patch and
debugging scripts, but please credit Debian in the documentation. CMU is
welcome to add the debug_command patches to Cyrus under their copyright and
license, and to add the debugging stuff to contrib/ or to their own
documentation, should they wish to do so.
I hope these are useful for someone else out there.

It will not reply multiple times to the same address. Idea is you tell the user _ONCE_ that you are on vacation, not 500x. If you set it up with the mailing list for example, each message you get would reply with a vacation message. So if there was 25messages on the info-cyrus list, there would be 25 vacation replies. Thus doubling the list. Chances are the vacation replies would also get posted and vacationed again creating an infinate loop, getting yourself permently ejected from said list.

Re: vacation script with optional(??) address parameter
Cyrus can't easily determine what your e-mail address is. Since vacation only responds to messages that explicitly mention you in the To or Cc header, Cyrus needs to know what addresses to consider as yours. Without the :addresses field it usually does a pretty poor job, thus the lack of response.

Hang on check
Hi, Just wondering about a few things. Occasionally I get timeouts connecting to the version 2.1.3 IMAP store. After looking at what was going on for a bit, it seemed like 1 imapd process is created for each mailbox. So I happily sat there doing 'ps' and looking at what was going on while I tried several different connection tests, waiting to see if anything obvious struck me as to why the thing would hang. Now, I thought originally that 1 imapd process was created for each access to a mailbox (I haven't got pre-forking on). But after a while it appeared this was obviously not the case because I got over 26 imapd processes after checking only 13 (ish) different mailboxes. Looking as the 'ps' output, I noticed they were all spawned by master - nothing odd about that - but the wchan for each was different: -WCHAN 000 S cyrus21177 21169 0 69 0- 5215 do_sel 17:13 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus21220 21169 0 69 0- 5230 interr 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus21221 21169 0 69 0- 5213 do_sel 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus21222 21169 0 69 0- 5215 do_sel 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd 000 S cyrus21223 21169 0 69 0- 5210 interr 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 imapd -^ I have a feeling this isn't good?

Jeremy Howard recently posted a patch which addresses this problem, by decrementing the available workers counter when receiving a SIGCLD, which strikes me as the right way to go. However, his patch is for 2.1.3, and like you, we're using 2.0.16 (the bleeding edge is a bad place This is extremely interesting. Michael, do you find this happens at seemingly random times though? We can go a week or two with no problems, and then bam, I get a 911. Of course, our volume is considerably lower than yours. Another issue, and one that may differentiate our problems from yours (but hopefully not as your at least have a work-around), is that I can sometimes restart Cyrus, and even after a restart, no new connections are serviced. (They connect, but get no service.) I've found that when this happens Cyrus will often appear to work for a VERY short while, and then revert back to the point where connections occur but no service (pop3d) responds. Shouldn't a restart completely fix the problem? If so we may be fighting something different. A reboot also doesn't always clear up the problem. Again, Cyrus will come up, but then fail shortly thereafter. What is really odd is that the problem just goes away after a few hours. From what we've seen, and from the best explanation for the behavior that we can come up with, the incorrect number of workers problem is a complicating factor that makes things a lot worse when something else goes wrong. First, it was the database locking problem that was inherent in the 2.0.11 and 2.0.14 builds, which greatly improved with 2.0.16. Then, for a while, it was database deadlocks on the mailboxes.db file -- we nailed that one down by using a flatfile mailboxes.db. Now, it only seems to happen when we run out of memory, or some other problem disrupts the normal flow. We could just upgrade the RAM (and plan to), but that doesn't address the core issue of problems with reliability following a problem. So, in a very roundabout way, I'm trying to say that the frequency with which we see the problem appears to be directly tied to the freuqency with which we see other problems. For us, a reboot almost always fixes the problem -- in fact, a restart of the master process does too -- but it may be that you're running into some other issue that we're not that's causing the worker miscount problem. A couple of things to try if you're experiencing frequent reliability problems, which may or may not be related to the symptoms you described above: * Recompile with the mailboxes.db set to use the flatfile format. (Instructions for doing so are somewhere in the list archive -- don't forget to dump you're mailboxes file before swapping out the binaries!) * Set all of your preforks to 0. This may not be as much of a problem with the flatfile mailboxes.db, but we definitely noticed a decrease in reliability with non-zero preforks when we were using the DB-3 code. * With the service stopped, clean out the /var/imap/db/ and /var/imap/deliverdb/db directories, particluarly the log files. Also, running ctl_mboxlist -r and ctl_deliver -r may help. However, you're probably going to have problems until you track down why your processes are dying in the first place, which is what Larry and Ken were getting at. Michael Bacon

The problem is that sendmail strips the domain portion from the envelope recipient address, and then lmtpd appends `@unspecified-domain', producing an address that will never match the header recipient. I submitted a patch that allows lmtpd to append the correct domain, and I have been using this patch with several versions of Cyrus. It does require a setting in /etc/imapd.conf to specify the domain. My patch has not been incorporated into Cyrus, but you should be able to find it in the archives. -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking-

We can go a week or two with no problems, and then bam, I get a 911. Of course, our volume is considerably lower than yours. Another issue, and one that may differentiate our problems from yours (but hopefully not as your at least have a work-around), is that I can sometimes restart Cyrus, and even after a restart, no new connections are serviced. (They connect, but get no service.) I've found that when this happens Cyrus will often appear to work for a VERY short while, and then revert back to the point where connections occur but no service (pop3d) responds. Shouldn't a restart completely fix the problem? If so we may be fighting something different. A reboot also doesn't always clear up the problem. Again, Cyrus will come up, but then fail shortly thereafter. I've seen the exact same behaviour you're describing here on Linux when there's a lack of available entropy. Pop3d is more susceptible to this problem, because it calls some sasl functions that read some bits from /dev/random. I didn't check why exactly are they necessary and why imapd does not use these functions. Linux gathers entropy from disk i/o events and keyboard keystrokes iirc, but i saw it drain even on an extremly busy mail server. Imapd goes on, but pop3d processes just pile up, each one accepting a connection but not starting any service. During the peak hours i've seen this effect numerous times, resulting in too many open files and thus blocking other processes. One of the solutions is to recompile the kernel with the netdev-random patches (http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/), and if this does not help, find /dev/random references in the sasl library and replace them with /dev/urandom. Iirc it's only defined in one place. -- Jure Pecar msg07742/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I suspect lmtpproxyd (atleast not as it exists in Cyrus today) is not what you'll be wanting to do this with, since (as it is intended for use with the IMAP Murder) it requires a MUPDATE server.

True, it can be done in lmtpproxyfd, but it is not the best place. It should not be extremely difficult to get the lmtp proxy code, empty it of all non-lmtp-proxying functionality, and use that as a skeleton to create content-filtering proxies though. I am more interested in porting the handling of children deaths for master to 2.1.4 CVS right now though, so I won't be the one doing that lmtp work (at least not now).

Error when configuring CVS
I have attempted to configure from the CVS several times, and I have always

Cyrus Config
Greetings, I am attempting to migrate from a Courier-IMAP based system to a Cyrus IMAP based implimentation, however I am running into several authentication related problems. Ideally I would like to use PAM authentication, however I have yet been able to find documentation which would specify how to compile for that sucessfully, and secondly is there any utility available to migrate standard maildirs to Cyrus' native format, or does that need to be a manual process? Thanks, David Chait

Thanks, David Chait I use PAM authentification with the pwcheck daemon. Here are the options I used when compiling in order to do that: when configuring sasl (I have version 2.1.2): ./configure [...] --with-pwcheck when configuring imapd (I have version 2.1.4): ./configure [...] --with-auth=unix Here is the important line in /etc/imapd.conf: sasl_pwcheck_method: pwcheck See also the responses to Jim Worke about using cyradm with PAM authentification... There are several ways to migrate your mailboxes. Some scripts are given here: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html But they didn't work for us because of some Imap errors withe the Imap module used by the scripts. So instead of using this module to append the mails to the mailboxes, we modified the script to cat them to sendmail. Unfortunately I don't have this script anymore, but it's not hard to figure out how to do it by modifying the script given on the O'Reilly page linked above. (We just wrote the mails individually to a temporary file and then executed `cat tempfile | mail` for each mail... Of course, we did that on the new server to save time and bandwidth.) Best regards and lots of fun with your migration :o) Alexandre Suter
TLS error? cyrus-imapd-2.1.4
I've gotten cyrus-imapd-2.1.4 working with the unencrypted ports and have now moved to getting the secure ports working. I created a self-signed certificate using: [root@jabba imap]# openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf -out cyrus-imapd.pem -keyout cyrus-imapd.pem and entering the information. My imapd.conf file has: tls_cert_file: /var/imap/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /var/imap/cyrus-imapd.pem And it seems to work but there is a delay of about 30 seconds when I connect for the first time in an email clients session in my imapd log file: May 14 19:20:33 jabba imap3d[2648]: TLS engine: cannot load CA data after that it works... Is this an error I need to be concerned about or is this just the result of self-siging the certificate? Thanks, Jeff Bert

[PATCH] Updated master.c process counting patch
Thanks to Jaska Kivela, some patch formatting problems that caused the master.c process counting patch to not apply cleanly have been resolved. The patch set has been updated, and now also incorporates the master.c race condition patch: http://jhoward.fastmail.fm/patches/cyrus/imap-diff.tgz The only file changed in the patch set is master-avail.diff . master-avail.diff solves the problem that master fails to correctly keep count of child processes if processes do not exit cleanly. This manifests itself as Cyrus failing to accept new connections on one or more ports after a while, when using preforking in imapd.conf.
sasl2 + imsp / acap ???
I have imapd running using sasl2 for authentication, but I'd like to add remote preferences support. Unfortunately, neither smlacapd nor imspd seem to support sasl2 in their current form. Is there any way to get either one to authenticate against sasl2, maybe a patch somewhere, or am I stuck using sasl1 ? Thanks, aLoN
Re: TLS error? cyrus-imapd-2.1.4
If you look in the Archive thru whatever web mailing list you wish, there was someone who had mentioned using openssl how to create the CA, the key, and cert. Look it up, it'd be worth your time. --On Tuesday, May 14, 2002 7:33 PM -0700 jeff bert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've gotten cyrus-imapd-2.1.4 working with the unencrypted ports and have now moved to getting the secure ports working.
