Invalid Headers

[Joshua Schmidlkofer]

I have about 50,000 messages in a maildir.   I am trying to import them
into my Cyrus mailbox, and I have gotten one to import successfully.  I
continually get a message 'invalid headers'.  Mozilla [1.2.1] says:

The current command did not succeed the mail server responded: Message
contains invalid headers


I have tried a variety of messages here are some sample headers:

Anyway, I don't see any error messages in my logs, but this is kind of
distressing.  I have seen some historical messages on the list, but
nothing very detailed.  I need to migrate about 30 - 40 users, but I am
not certain how.

thanks,

This means that userB doesn't have an INBOX (user.userB mailbox)

Hi,

I am running 2_2 cvs branch with virtual domain support turned on and
everything seemd to work fine. I now wanted to move my old installation

If I create a shared folder with cyradm like:

$>cm sharedfolder

I cannot do

$>sam sharedfolder user@domain lrswipcda

and get

setaclmailbox: user@domain: lrswipcda: Invalid identifier

If I create a shared folder with cyradm like:

Sorry for the delay, but I finally got a chance to look into this.
Cyrus isn't the problem here, the problem is that the MTA is stripping
the domain off of the recipient address when it gets passed to lmtpd.

Try changing the cyrusv2 mailer definition to use:

S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP







 

Does not work either! I had

S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrToSMTP

in my cyrusv2.m4 file and changing it to

S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP

produces the same error! sendmail delivers correctly to lmtpd, I think:

And the logfile states the same errors ! What makes me a bit confused is
the error message itself. lmtpd is trying to create a temporary file but
the error is "No such file or directory". Is it a missing directory or
wrong permissions on a directory ?




   

Sorry, I missed this in your original message.  This error is a result
of lmtpd's failure to create a spoolfile for the message.  Most of the
time this will be in the staging area of the recipient's partition (eg,
/var/spool/imap/stage.), otherwise this will be in your temp space (call
to tmpfile()).  Check the ownership/permissions on the 'stage.'
directory on your Cyrus partitions.  It should look something like:

[root@eagle imap]# ls -l /var/spool/imap/
total 8
drwx--3 cyrusmail   24 Jul 10 12:10 domain
drwx--8 cyrusmail   73 Nov  5 12:51 netnews

drwx--2 cyrusmail6 Dec  3 10:18 stage.
drwx--   22 cyrusmail 4096 Aug 27 11:49 user






 

I cannot get it to work. Still the same problem! I configured cyrus with
--with-cyrus-user=cyrus and --with-cyrus-group=smmsp

schulte-01:48:30:/var >ls -l /var

If I do a ./mkimap -d domain I have to chmod 0770 /var/imap/db.backup*
afterwards to get rid of DBERROR logentries during cyrus startup, so I
think I have a permission problem but where ?

[Harrie Hazewinkel]

Ciao,


I managed to install the cyrus-imap server and while testing
I noticed the following:

* OK hostname Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.11 server ready
x LOGIN userA 
x OK User logged in
x NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX/" "/")) (("user/" "/")) (("" "/"))
x OK Completed

* OK hostname Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.11 server ready
x LOGIN userB 
x OK User logged in
x NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE NIL (("user/" "/")) (("" "/"))
x OK Completed


This is with the same configuration different and two different
users. As you can see the second does not have a personal namespace.
What do I wrong?? Originally I had it for the first one to, but
fiddling with the configuration directive "alternatenamespace: yes"
it changed.

I also changed the other directive for namespaces in the configuration,
but those did not change at all.

Do I need to set something specific?? From what and where
is the namespace defined??


cheers,

Thanks, That works.

You could create these additional folders when you create the new user
account if you really wanted to.

In the words of Roseanne Rosannadanna, "Nevermind."

Manually browsed http://people.debian.org/~hmh/packages/woody/ looking for
packages that weren't automatically grabbed when I ran 'dselect'.

Starting grabbing packages with 'dselect', particularly THESE:

ii  libsasl2-modul 2.1.9-5.woody1
ii  libsasl2-modul 2.1.9-5.woody1

Long story short, grabbed many relevant-looking updated packages from
HMH's repository and sieve automagically works now.

Do I need to activate something during the compilation (configure) or is it

Its an improved database backend that is optimized for enumeration, which
happens a lot with the mailbox list.

Berkeley DB is not optimized for enumeration, and while flat can give you
fast enumeration, it is tremendously slow to update.

In your master.cf, at the end of the lmtp line, add "-v".  That will cause 
the Postfix lmtp client to run in verbose mode.  This might help to track 
things down.

Also turn up the logging of Cyrus to debug and see what is recorded there. 
In general, the more logging, the easier it is to track these sort of 
things down.

Next, it is a bad idea to use anything under the Postfix hierarchy for 
3rd-party software.  While public/lmtp is probably okay, I think it is best 
to simply not fiddle with anything under there---less possibility for 
surprises.

Finally, make sure that both the Postfix user and the Cyrus user are able 
to access this named pipe.  This means temporarily assigning a shell to 
these two users, doing an su to them, and make absolutely certain that both 
can access this file.

Yeah, but if you're using a stock install, that ultimately uses the deliver 
command, which will incur a bit more overhead.  Using lmtp directly is a 
better way to go if at all possible.

2.0.17 is only intended for sites which are upgrading from previous 2.0
versions and are unable to make the upgrade to 2.1.x for whatever reason.

I strongly recommend you use 2.1.11 if you're starting a new system.  It
has fairly substantial performance benefits over 2.0 (especially if you
are using the skiplist database backend for your mailbox list).

Upgraded cyrus and I broke timsieved

[Brian]

Upgraded from HMH's cyrus21 2.1.9-6 to 2.1.10-5 after adding the
appropriate lines to my sources.list for Henrique's backports on Debian
Woody.  After migrating to skiplist, cyrus worked great except for sieve
which no longer sees any authentication methods.  Sieve worked fine
before, I don't understand what I did wrong.  Nothing in the logfiles that
I can see.  Pure Debian Woody system (nothing added that isn't a package).
 Based on the information below, can anyone give me any insight as to what
I've accidently broken?

  The issue of the number of lockers growing without bounds has been
resolved.  Back in September when we were having connection problems
(client takes minutes to get asked for the username), which eventually were
solved by turning on asynchronous syslogging, I surmised that there might
be a problem with re-use of processes by Cyrus on Linux and changed MAX_USE
in service.h to 1 (was 250).  This seemed to help but I think in retrospect
it was an illusion.

  The change to MAX_USE was left in even after syslogging was changed.  A
couple of weeks ago I recalled this and it occurred then to me that maybe
the lack of process re-use was what was causing the number of lockers to
grow so fast (300 to 500 per hour, so the 50,000 limit would be reached in
less than a week resulting in a corrupt deliver.db and tls_sessions.db).
I've put MAX_USE back to the standard 256.  It's been nearly four days
since our most recent restart of Cyrus and "Maximum number lockers so far"
out of "db_stat -c" is just 374.  At this rate Cyrus can stay up for over a
year without running out of locks.

Depending on how much of the message store API you mean, you're looking at
atleast index.c, append.c, and mailbox.c.

If you want to worry about the mailbox list, mboxlist.c.

If you want seen state as well, seen_db.c.

You'll probably want to look at user.c as well.

A very large amount of work.

I wouldn't be surprised if alot of the other code has assumptions about
the implementation of the mail store in it that will break if you try to
change its implemenation, so the above list is just a start.

What's the exit status?  Does it log anything?

Local transport is not set, I thought mailbox_transport should do:

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:public/lmtp


From your last message with your cyrus.conf, this should likely be:

mailbox_transport=lmtp:unix:/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp

There is a more complete solution to the SIGCHILD problems in master, that
fixes all the race conditions that cause the process count to be lost. I
call it the "pid morgue" :-)

It is in the bugzilla, and it is being used in production by the fastmail.fm
people, AND all Debian users without a glitch for a long while now...

You may want to have a look at that stuff...

Different type of message store

[Harrie Hazewinkel]

HI,


I was wondering if some one could point me in the right direction
in order to look at the message store API. I would like to see
what must be done in order to have a different message store backend
that contains the email messages.


Thanks by advance,

Re: pop login failure not logged to syslog

[steve]

Ken, the patch works perfectly;
Dec  6 09:51:30 dustpuppy pop3d[7222]: badlogin: [127.0.0.1] plaintext steve 
SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed

Surprised this hasn't been reported before :)

Many thanks,
Steve.

I think master would check exit value of its childs and decrement the number
of ready_workers.
