cyrus-2.2-cvs: virtualdomains and sendmail virtusertable (cyrusv2as local mailer)
Hi, after changing the local mailer in my sendmail.mc from cyrus to cyrusv2 I cannot get sendmail to correctly deliver the domain-part of local-adresses to cyrusv2-lmtpd! Before, I had the cyrusv2-mailer set in /etc/mail/mailertable but that way , I was not able to route my email as I need to and as I do in /etc/mail/virtusertable. Ecspacially catchall-accounts for domains which have more than one email-account in cyrus are not possible with the mailertable approach. I have all my local domains in /etc/mail/local-host-names and do (want to do) all email routing in /etc/mail/virtusertable like before. If I specify a final recipient (cyrus-account) in virtusertable as: @virtualdomain.it [EMAIL PROTECTED] where an account like [EMAIL PROTECTED] exists, sendmail recognizes virtualdomain.it in /etc/mail/local-host-names as a local domain and will strip the original virtualdomain.it from the recipient replacing it with the localhost hostname. All domains defined in /etc/mail/local-host-names will be recognized in virtusertable but the local delivery will only go to the user@localhostname! Where can I change sendmail to not do that ? How do I tell sendmail to never change the local-domain to the local hostname on succesfully recognized /etc/mail/local-host-names domains ? --Christian--

Cyrus Startup-Check
Hallo, I run cyrus with fetchmail. Every night, a cron script stopps cyrus and fetchmail, tars the mail folders and restarts cyrus and fetchmail. My problem is, that fetchmail is too fast and tries to deliver mail via lmtp, before cyrus is ready - so the mail is moved to the local root mail account and not into the cyrus mail spool. Has anybody any Idea how to check if cyrus is ready to receive mail before restarting fetchmail from within a cron script? Second: the syslog is flooded with imapd[xx]: startttls: ... login: ... -messages. How can this be stopped? Thanks, Christian Bomhardt

When I execute

Re: Cyrus Startup-Check
A sleep command in your script will probably do the job in the meantime. sleep 60 before you start fetchmail will wait 60 seconds for cyrus to be up and running for example.

Re: [CVS] pidfile support
On Sun, 15 Dec 2002, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh wrote: 1. There is no support for updating the pidfile. Thus, the lock is acquired only after forking, which means we lost the controlling terminal by the time we can complain about not being able to acquire a lock, and that we have already tried to go daemon and thus whatever is trying to start master is NOT told that we failed. I don't think you can fix this in a perfect way, giving unix locking semantics (well, atleast fcntl). This is using the code from the original patch: http://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/attachment.cgi?id=93action=view [A] lock and write pidfile [A] fork and create [B] (which doesn't hold a lock on the file) [B] attempt to reacquire lock on pidfile, FAIL since A doesn't have it [A] exit(success) [B] exit(failure) The parent to A thinks we successfully finished, when in reality we've stepped on our own feet. I've experementally verified that this is actually a problem in theory (if not in practice). I don't think the BSD flock() semantics even help us here (hold lock across fork() but any close() will get rid of the lock), since then we have: [A] lock and write the pidfile [A] fork and create [B] (which shares the lock with [A]) [A] exit(success), which closes the file descriptor and releases the lock [C] start a master process, lock and write the pidfile [B] attempt to reacquire lock, and fail because [C] has the lock (I'll note that I haven't experementally verified this sequence) Now we've exited in failure, and not reported so to our parent. But, I think this might be less of an issue than the first, since master still starts successfully in the end (though, perhaps with a different config file?) I'm willing to listen to suggestions. 2. Close on exec is not being set on the pidfile. Right now, this is not a bug. However, should we forget a close(pidfile) anywhere, it could somehow be the part of a bigger security hole...

sendmail+procmail+cyrus, return-path, sieve
This scenario, and ones like it, has been discussed here
before. I've got something working, so am posting details
{in case it's useful, so you can tell me I'm an idiot:-)}.
The 'vacation' bit of sieve wasn't working, because it kept
seeing a useless 'deliver'-created Return-Path: header.
I was starting procmail from sendmail, with a procmail
recipe something like this:
# *OLD*
CYUSER=$1
# Run spamassassin:
:0fw
| /our/bin/spamassassin -x -p /etc/mail/spamassassin.config
# All the mail that falls through to this point
# will be delivered into the user's INBOX
:0w:$CYUSER.lock
| $DELIVER -a $CYUSER $CYUSER
# If that fails, report back whatever $DELIVER said:
EXITCODE=$?
:0
/dev/null
# end *OLD*
This worked fine, except for sieve vacation. Why?
'deliver' would run and insist on tossing in a Return-Path:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], even though there was a perfectly
good Return-Path: already in the message. (Result: two
Return-Path:s) Of course, then sieve would send all vacation
messages to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', who didn't appreciate
them.
I couldn't see a way 'round it except to fish out the
pre-existing Return-Path: and force 'deliver's hand (with
-r). So I now have:
# *NEW*
CYUSER=$1
# snag the existing Return-Path:
RPTMP=`/usr/bin/formail -xReturn-Path: | /bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/$//'`
RETPATH=${RPTMP:-badbadbad}
# Run spamassassin:
:0fw
| /our/bin/spamassassin -P -x -F 0 -p /etc/mail/spamassassin.config
# All the mail that falls through to this point
# will be delivered into the user's INBOX
:0w:$CYUSER.lock
* ! RETPATH ?? badbadbad
| $DELIVER -a $CYUSER -r $RETPATH $CYUSER
# if we get here, something bad happened re the Return-Path:
:0w:$CYUSER.lock
| $DELIVER -a $CYUSER $CYUSER
# If that fails, report back whatever $DELIVER said:
EXITCODE=$?
:0
/dev/null
# end *NEW*
As best I can tell, this is vacation'ing happily. I would
be grateful for any improvements that you may suggest.
Regards,
Will

I wrote a small patch, and it works for me. Code is self-explanatory :-)
Also I slightly modified deliver.c to realize some sort of DSN and to
prevent losing of mail messages due to errors.

Re: ctl_cyrusdb -r takes too long
You wouldn't happen to have have /var/imap on a logging or journaling filesystem by any chance? A while back I noticed this under Solaris. The fix was to mount /var without UFS logging. IIRC, the db code does its own journaling/logging, so the only thing you'll be missing by turning it off in the FS is the long start times.

You will save yourself a *lot* ot time and trouble by using Simon Matter's RPMs (compile from his SRPMs if you do not trust his binaries for some reason). If you absolutely *must* install from the source manually, then read the .spec file from his RPMs and use its approach as a basis for your own. http://home.teleport.ch/simix/ Jonathan -- Jonathan Marsden| Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Making electronic 1252 Judson Street | Phone: +1 (909) 795-3877 | communications work Redlands, CA 92374 | Fax: +1 (909) 795-0327 | reliably for Christian USA | http://www.xc.org/jonathan| missions worldwide
Re: Install
Nuno, I don't know a thing about vpopmail, but I can tell you this. I too have RH-v7.3 and hands-down the best HOW-TO that I've seen for Cyrus install (w/postfix) is Luc de Louw's document (http://www.delouw.ch/linux/). After fumbling unsuccessfully with Cyrus for two years (I'm a total newbie/hobbyist), I found his document and followed it line-by-line and was successful due to it's clarity and flow. However, with this being said, his document does not cover Red Hat specifically, so you'll have to do quite a few mods and create some symbolic links here and there. If you got this route, here are some tips. By the way, my total install was: (Apache 1.3.26 w/php support + MySQL-Max + SASL + Cyrus + Postfix + Squirrelmail + Cyrus-Web-cyradm) * Do NOT use rpms. Only install from binaries. * Remove ALL relevant rpms FIRST, from your RH installation. * DO NOT use Luc's instructions for MySQL. Follow their install notes instead. * Test it out on your own account alone for a couple solid weeks as all sorts of small nit-picky things pop up.

Grab Simon's SRPMS (*source* RPMS for the uninitiated ... just a tarball and a spec file, folks), install them, and the look at his spec file to see what options he used to build it. You'll be up and running in no time *AND* see which options will get you going. Don't reinvent the wheel, -- Brian
deliver fails to deliver this message
I've a very interesting email: while the deliver-script and lmtp-deliver fails to deliver the email, the cyrus-mailer coming with sendmail does not. Emails like this come to our server one or two times a week. I'd like to know whats actually wrong with the email (deliver complains Message contains invalid header) and if there is a way to run lmtp-deliver in a more tolerant way like the sendmail-cyrus-mailer seems to do ... thnx a lot, peter the mail (per-user information replaced with xxx without changing length of text) -- Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from MAILWARDEN (mail.scfuk.org.uk [194.129.49.212]) by alpha.ihf-hr.org (8.12.1/8.12.1) with ESMTP id gBGFXOJK017043 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 16 Dec 2002 16:33:25 +0100 Received: by MAILWARDEN from localhost (router,slmail V5.1); Mon, 16 Dec 2002 15:30:57 + for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from uk_camb_ws01.scfuk.org.uk [10.1.3.29] by MAILWARDEN [192.168.200.20] (MailWarden 5.1.0.4411) with SMTP id 9DF043192CC44900BB4B9200DE0C1E1C for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 16 Dec 2002 15:30:56 Received: FROM uk_camb_er01.SCFUK.ORG.UK BY uk_camb_ws01.scfuk.org.uk ; Mon Dec 16 15:20:28 2002 Received: by UK_CAMB_ER01 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) id YDN108NS; Mon, 16 Dec 2002 15:31:34 - Message-ID: 79DEBC5639ECD211A4760090274068C7038281A9@UK_VAUX_E01 From: x [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: xx xx (IHF) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Out of Office AutoReply: hi Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 15:31:23 - MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain X-SLUIDL: C2491A27-E96343C9-89786B43-52415DF7 I will be away from the office until Wednesday 18 December.

Sieve Server-Wide
Hey All, I've setup spamassassin / amavisd-new to tag spam with an X-Spam header. I want to now tell cyrus to filter those emails into the users spam folder. I found a sieve script that does this, but I'm wondering if there is a way to apply the script to all users on the server. Is there some sort of shared or default sieve user/directory that affects all users or some way to have all users' sieve dir simply be a single directory? Thanks, Lee
