Tcl interface for mclient, and the copyright in the imclient man page
I've looked at the cyradm.c implementation of a Tcl interface. The only thing wrong with it appears to be a little bit rot from not being supported since Tcl 7.5. This would seem to be easily overcome with some programming. If anybody else is working on this, I'd like to know about it. So far, I've played around with adding support for the STATUS and CAPABILITY commands. I'm using Tcl8.3 and converted the implementation to use the Tcl object system. This interface has great potential for taking advantages of Tcl's event loop. All that needs to be added is support for the mailbox manipulation commands, such as SELECT, EXAMINE, FETCH, CLOSE, EXPUNGE, etc. Imclient would seem to make this all very easy. Libcyrus.a would need to be made into a shared library for this to be a dynamically loadable package. The copyright in the imclient man page is very restrictive, specifically excluding commercial use. Since I'm intending commercial use, would somebody please say if this is still true or is this an oversight of not updating documentation? Doc/readme.html has a clearly less restrictive copyright. Regards, Randy

Re: What format can Cyrus store mail in?

Easysieve 1.2 now available
An updated version of the `easysieve' application is now available at: http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/source The changes are mostly minor, although this version fixes a couple of cookie-related problems. easysieve.pl is a web application that offers a simplified interface for commonly-used Cyrus sieve script functions. Each web form has a detailed explanation of its purpose, and each field on the form has a block of text explaining what should be entered there. -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking-

See the line like this: lmtpcmd=lmtpd listen=localhost:lmtp prefork=0 maxchild=20 Add -a to the cmd portion. (cmd=lmtpd -a). Quick and easy, which means there must be a downside. And there is - anything that connects to the lmtp port on localhost is automatically authenticated. Might not be a smokin' hot idea for boxes with shell accounts. The alternative (and no, I haven't done this yet) is to configure your MTA to use SASL to authenticate when it connects. I know Postfix can do this, but I haven't played with sendmail in a long, long time. If you're going to go this route, you don't add the -a to the lmtpd command like I described above. Hope this helps in some way. Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: User account - permission denied
You have to have c permission to delete the user. So, do a sam first, like this: localhost sam user.fcuell cyrus all where cyrus is your administrator. This gives user cyrus permission to do anything he/she wants to the mailbox. Then, localhost dm user.fcuell should work fine. c* - Original Message - From: Felix Cuello [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 4:19 PM Subject: User account - permission denied Hello, I'm actually migrating my old cyrus users from a cyrus 2.0.16 to a new cyrus 2.1.9.
