I finally got around to look at the patch. ;) I think that your idea is very good, but the implementation is not complete. The patch hard codes domain-based directory tree naming (dc=domain,dc=tld), but some poeple use traditional or other directory tree naming (o=domain.tld or o=dot,st=nc,c=us etc). I am not sure that there is an easy way to deal with this short of adding regex or pcre.

Re: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory [solved]
Erik Enge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I have some more information to offer. I straced 'master' with -f (follow forks) and saw that Cyrus looks for /var/state/saslauthd/mux instead of /var/run/mux (as stated by the FAQ). I guess it changed in the versions somewhere. Anyway, I made saslauthd put the mux in /var/state/saslauthd and now everything works as a charm. Erik.

You could not allow i on the folders they shouldn't be allowed to copy into. I think "i" is insert, if I recall correctly.

Have you gotten ipurge to be reliable? I gave up on it because it kept deleting mail that didn't match its criteria, ie I specified greater than 14 days and it often deleted mail that was less than a day old. And yes, I did report this behavior on the list a couple of times, but no one ever responded. Dave McCracken == Dave McCracken IBM Linux Base Kernel Team 1-512-838-3059 [EMAIL PROTECTED]T/L 678-3059

Are you trying to share a personal mailbox or a public mailbox? Unless you specify a "newsprefix" to put newsgroups in their own hierarchy, nntpd will work for any mailbox that the user can read (including user.*). > How does 'expire' work in this case?

Right now, I'm using 'ipurge', but I have an 'expirenews' tool to purge entries from netnews.db which I plan on adding the article delete code to. > I'm very interested in this work since it would make for a fine > news2mail gateway setup I think. Yes, I'm using it right now for news2mail and I'm using lmtp2nntp for mail2news. I can read newsgroups/shared mailboxes with my Netscape client via NNTP or IMAP without INN anywhere in sight. If you can give me more details on what you're trying to accomplish, I can tell you how to set it up and/or make the necessary changes to allow what you need.

db3 lockers issue ... moving mailboxes.db -> skiplist ?
Morning ... I must be mis-understanding something ... I found the thread on db3 vs skiplist, including Ken's on the recommended (vs default) settings, yet I can't seem to figure out how to convert from db3->skiplist :( As cyrus user, if i run: cvt_cyrusdb /var/spool/imap/mailboxes.db berkeley \ /var/spool/imap/mailboxes.db.n skiplist it creates the db.n file, which 'strings mailboxes.db.n' shows to contain: hub# strings mailboxes.db.n skiplist file and then just hangs I've tried to do a ctl_mboxlist -d followed by a -u using the version of ctl_mboxlist that I compiled with skiplist support, and it does the same thing ... What am I missing? :( Thanks ...

Yes, if you create a "squat" index for it, by using the "squatter" tool. Since this only indexes messages currently in the mailbox, you should setup squatter to be an EVENT in cyrus.conf, if the mailbox constantly grows. -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.

Hi, Does Cyrus do any indexing or other preparation to reduce the time taken to search large mail collections? Thanks, Ian
ACL: moving messages around
Hi, Am I right in thinking that ACLs are blind to the difference between deleting a message from a folder and moving it into a different folder? Also, how does one give a user permission to delete a message from a folder, but not to delete the folder. (I've RTFMed, but can't find it.) (I'm looking at a mail system where people can move messages that are in the wrong folder *out* of the folders they reply to and into the right one, but not *in* to the folders they reply to.) Thanks, Ian
