cyrus authentification with ldap md5
I would like to migrate my user accounts in an ldap tree. I don't have the passwords in clear text, is it possible to use the md5 unix account passwords by moving the md5 passwords in the ldap tree? Did somebody manage such a migration ? Thanks Greg

Yes, I did and it works well. You can write your password into the userPassword attribute. It has the form '{MD5}XYZXYZXYZXYZXYZ...', but base64 encoded. You can also put 'password-hash {MD5}' in you slapd.conf so if you use ldappasswd to change passwords, it will store them as MD5 by default. You can then use saslauthd-pam_ldap-LDAP or saslauthd-LDAP to authenticate users. HTH Simon Thanks Greg

Unfortunately this time there was a strange problem which had tortured me for a whole day: When I connected to port 143 and tried to login as cyrus (in admins of /etc/imapd.conf), I got this: 1 NO Login failed: user not found Or when I run the script: cyradm --user=cyrus --server=localhost, after inputing the passwd, I got this: Login failed: user not found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 114 cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as cyrus But the user cyrus does exist and I checked by /usr/local/sbin/sasldblistusers2. Meanwhile, I could login as anonymous if I choosed the option. however it was no use! I guess it's sth wrong with SASL procedure, but no idea on it. grateful for ANY suggestion ! Can you log in using imtest instead of cyradm? (Simpler to my mind without all the perl wrappers) And tail -f /var/log/authlog ? Cheers, Patrick
Can't delete a mailbox

Eudora 5.2 and attachments
Hi, We are having some difficultly with Eudora 5.2 and attachments. What happens is that the user gets a mailfile that's supposed to have an attachment but Eudora doesn't show an attachment. This doesn't happen all the time, just some of the time. This is with Cyrus 2.1.11 on a Solaris 8 system. The interesting thing is that this only happens if the user reads their mail via MAP, if they are using POP they see the attachment. This is repeatable Qualcomm says it is a problem with Eudora 5.1 and earilier clients in the way that they compose the headers. Is there anything I can do on the server side to help this? Has anyone else seen this? Thanks. Jim

Re: Eudora 5.2 and attachments
Yes, Eudora has a problem with boundaries generation if a message is created in a certain fashion (text, HTML, and attachment in one doc), this was supposed to have been corrected with 5.2, however if the sender is on an older version you are still SOL.

Re: Eudora 5.2 and attachments
Jim, Interesting, but yes, Stanford did try to patch Cyrus imapd to compensate and it seemed to work with some older versions of the source, but stopped when I upgraded past 2.1.4, our best results have come from upgrading users to 5.2 or another client altogether. -David _ David Chait Sys Admin - Facilities Operations 333 Bonair Siding Road #107 Stanford CA, 94305 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Jim Howell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: David Chait [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 9:32 AM Subject: Re: Eudora 5.2 and attachments Hi, That is exactly what's going on, Eudora 5.1 sender, Eudora 5.2 receiver using IMAP.

Re: Outlook 2002 vs. Cyrus 2.1.12
Hi Ken, Per! I just did some testing myself with Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6. I couldn't get either client to hang after doing APPENDs (with IDLE enabled). OE does close the connection after calling IDLE after the final APPEND however. I'm not convinced that this is a server issue. I'd like to see what happens against a different server that supports IDLE (eg, UW IMAP). I've read about Outlook gets into trouble with IMAP servers which sends answers too fast (OE shouldn't be so sensitive [becausae it's another development]): microsoft.public.outlook.interop Outlook 2002 IMAP problems; Jan. 2003 follow-up Link (long format, sorry): http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=delr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF- 8threadm=9d9fd1c2.0301201252.33081226%40posting.google.comrnum=7prev=/groups% 3Fq%3Dcyrus%2Bimap%2Bidle%2Boutlook%26hl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF- 8%26selm%3D9d9fd1c2.0301201252.33081226%2540posting.google.com%26rnum%3D7 Perhaps this could be another cause!? The obvious difference here is that Cyrus 2.1 supports the IDLE extension and Outlook is using it. I'm not sure why the client would be IDLEing in between APPENDs, but I've grown accustomed to seeing silly behavior from Outlook and Netscape. What method for IDLE did you configure with? (doing a 'version' command in cyradm will tell us everything we need). You might want to try reconfiguring/recompiling Cyrus using --with-idle=no and see if this makes a difference. Ken By the way: B Leiba, the developer/issuer of IDLE RFC 2177, somewhere had described that Outlook and OE makes heavily usage of IDLE command between almost every conventional operation. He said it makes no sense ... but anyway it's fully RFC conform. (I wouldn't be surprised about brain-dead Microsoft developers! ;-))) Perhaps badly payed immigrants of India [like unskilled worker]. ) Cheers, Hasso

MS Entourage crashing.
Okay I'm at the end of my rope. If I can't get this fixed I have to switch MS Exchange... When sending a message the client is doing one of the following 10% of the time.

If it fails (all the semaphore resources are taken), then the child would know that the maximum number of connections has been exceeded and return an error to the connecting party. I did read an old Bugzilla entry that said fully threading imapd and friends was an idea... Don't know if that has any affect on any future direction. I haven't worked with semaphores for a long while so I could be talking outta my arse :). Jeremy
Re: Outlook 2002 vs. Cyrus 2.1.12
Hi Avtar Gill! (I wouldn't be surprised about brain-dead Microsoft developers! ;-))) Perhaps badly payed immigrants of India [like unskilled worker]. ) I can't speak for the administrators of this list but as a normal user of Cyrus IMAPD I turn to this mailing list for technical help and information, not bigotry. Please take your racist diatribe elsewhere. Sorry for your misunderstanding. It wasn't racist diatribe - it was Microsoft diatribe. Usually anti-Microsoft statements are welcome in every lists I've subscribed until now. Espacially because of the wasting of time which Microsoft causes us with their poor software quality and their attempts to force customers to only use M$ products by intetional non-interoperability (with standards). And by the way (that you couldn't know, of course): During worldwide boom with new economy, also here in Germany deceitful founder of new stock noticed companies (or similar incorporated swindler) (most of the companys [not the founders] went broken meanwhile) had pushed the politician to lure software development specialists especially from India to those companies - with big promises. In reality the deceitful founder or owner had only looked for low-price-workers below agreed wages. Meanwhile (according to the press) most of the disappointed and deceited people are back at their home country or away to new countrys looking for real chances - if they could pay their tickets with their not received wages. I don't like incorporaded deceitful companies! And I'm supposing, all the time I hear about poor quality software, disappointed, exploited, and badly payed modern software slaves are involved. (Guilty are greedy and deceitful owner, company manager, and unscrupulous majority shareholder of bad companies - not the workers as a rule.) But I'm admitting: If you'd a strongly wish you could misinterpret my short 2- line comment. Cheers, Hasso

Re: MS Entourage crashing.
These sessions are from the same client and same thread. There are in fact the same session I just split it so you could see the successful and failed one more easily The ^M is not copy and paste crud it's in the log file plan as day. It's not very repeatable. It's happening about 10% of the time and seems to be totally random as to when it's going to happen. It is however always when posting a message to the Sent folder on the server and only when sending a message. I can copy 1000s messages to the Sent box by hand with no trouble. It's only happening on 2 of the 12 Entourage installations here, both high profile users. I've tried reinstalling the clients. I've even swapped the hardware out. I've made new Sent folders on the server. None of that worked. Guess next I'll delete and remake the affected accounts on the server. seems very silly to me though.

Re: procmail revisited
Also, are you able to use user specific spamassassin settings? This is the one goal that set me on this quest in the first place. Of course simplifying my sendmail config is looking more attractive too. I noticed you set DROPPRIVS=1. I did the same in my /etc/procmailrc, and procmail logs a message saying it is assuming the identity of the recipient, but SA still uses the global configs and whitelists - which I really want to eliminate in favor of a ~/.spamassassin/ config for each user. Hi, maybe you take a look at the spam-assassin patches for cyrus-imapds' sieve interpreter in the conrtib directory of the cyrus distribution. I do spamassassins spamd check in a users sieve script deciding there what to do with the mail if it gets identified as spam: if spam { fileinto, reject, discard, reply, forward etc... } Works great for me! --Christian--
Re: MS Entourage crashing.
Eric, Did you ever try reconstruct -r on the affected mailboxes. And yes, I strongly recommend skiplist. It has solved some problems for me which I still don't really understand why.
