Cyrus 2.1 questions about realm logins !
Hi ! Im worked for 3 Years with the cyrus 2.0 imapd and sasl 1.5. Now i planned to upgrade to cyrus imapd 2.1 and sasl2. I set up the server and made some users in the sasldb. The users have different domains (realm) which they belong to. Like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I defined the loginrealms in the imapd.conf. 1. Problem: Login with the realm works only with imap but not with pop3, sinve it can not handle a dot in the realm name: E.g. test@domain works with pop3 but [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't work. Also it is not defined how the mailboxes have to be named. I tried to define a mailbox called [EMAIL PROTECTED] It worked. How does the domain influence the lmtp on delivery ? Deliveries to the mailboxes fail badly with the error message , that the mailbox is unavailable. If you create a mailbox user.test, then it works, but what should be the function of defining realms then ? Pop3 doesn' t work with realmed mailboxes and can't lock it. Imap works and can lock the mailbox. Lmtp is not able to deliver realmed mailboxes. Always displays the same error. (Mailbox unavailable). So my question is: How can i use realms associated with the defined mailboxes to seperate multiple domains on a single host ? Or are they only login-realms and not to deliver ? If yes, how does lmtp decide what mailbox to use ? It is possible to define a user in multiple realms with saslpasswd using the -u switch. Any help will be appreciated.

How to mov/copy deliverd mail from one user to another one
Hello, Sometimes when for instance some user goes to holiday, or becomes ill the others don't inform me in time but some time later. So in the box of such a user user are mails which I need do copy/move to the box of another user. Just simply copy mail files doesn't work.

Backup of Cryus IMAP
Hello everyone, I have heard that if I backup the database and/or user files as they are being accessed I might corrupt the files. Is this true? If so how can I implement an automated backup without taking the service down? I need to have the service up 24/7 and am unable to take it down at any point. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Thank you, Michael

Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Simply backing up the files as they are actively being used will not corrupt them. However, it is possible that the file you backup is not usable since there is no synchronization between the updates to the database and the backup program. The best practice discussed here for restoring inidividual folders is to create an empty folder, restore the message files themselves, and then reconstruct that folder, so there is no problem there. For a full restore, to guard against corrupting important database files I do ctl_mboxlist -d to a text file just before the backup, and then backup that file. If a full restore is required, the database can be rebuilt from the text file if necessary. -- John A. Tamplin Unix System Administrator Emory University, School of Public Health +1 404/727-9931
Re: Backup of Cryus IMAP (restore?)
So to backup Cyrus, I should do the following?: ctl_mboxlist -d /var/backup/mydbbackupfile cp -dPr /var/imap /var/backup/imap cp -dPr /var/spool/imap /var/backup/spool/imap Would it be better to tar them first, or just copy and then tar later? And to do a full restore? How would I do so? (I assume I'd have to stop the service to restore)...

sieveshell cannot connect on phoebe
I upgraded to phoebe and cyrus is working perfectly except for sieveshell. Existing sieve scripts are functioning but sieveshell localhost exits with connecting to localhost connect: Connection refused unable to connect to server at /usr/bin/sieveshell line 174.

Database Corruption because of Power Failure?
Sorry to bother you all, I am looking to implement a cyrus-imap server that at any point in time can have a good number of 15,000+ users reading and writing. If it experiences a power failure and reboots, could the database become corrupted and require restoration from backups? If no, what, if any data will be lost? In the event of a failure, and I am required to restore my data from a backup, how long does it take to reconstruct a cyrus database for a system of messages on the order of 500 Gigabytes in total. I understand that this data is particular to the box that Cyrus IMAP is running on but if anyone has the time it took them to reconstruct the database that would be awesome. Thank you so much for any help you can give, Judd

I have a cron job that does ctl_mboxlist -d /var/imap/mailboxes.txt and then I just let our normal backup software (Veritas Netbackup DataCenter) backup that file as it would any other. That way I have if the recovered mailboxes.db file was corrupt. If you have the disk space to do your backup on disk, you are probably better doing snapshots (mirror the volume, then break the mirror) than cp. -- John A.
