FAQ How to change a userid
Is there a way I can change the user id I was searching the internet people have said I will have to create a new account and move the mails to the account That Seems quite laborious.

Re: Too many lmtpd processes running

Isn't that a bit excessive? It's starting to bog down the server. Limit the number of lmtp clients used by your MTA (Postfix/Sendmail ...) to some value your server can stand. Most of the time 2 are enough. Should go to the FAQ i guess. I don't think I can agree with your answer :-) It really depends on the system and how much mail you pump through it. It also depdns on how you do your email delivery. For instance, in our sendmail configuration, we queue all incoming mail and use cron jobs to fire off queue runners to process the various queues we have, with some queues running more often than others. If we have 30 sendmail queue runners processing our Cyrus queue, then we should expect to see 30 LMTP process as well, one for each of the queue runners that could feed them mail. Don´t know about sendmail but the point is if you have one Cyrus partition massive parallel deliver gain nothing because all the lmtp fight for the same (rare) I/O resource and you get in trouble with locking at some point. This is true for MTA local/ MDA local scenario. If you deliver from slow MTA gateways (virusscanning) over network to one fast Cyrus MDA by lmtp running a lot of lmtpd makes sense. As for the original question, you didn't actually state how many LMTP processes you are seeing. We typically don't worry about it as long as we are under 100 processes... when we go over that though, we start looking at the processes (with LSOF) to see if there are a lot of procs stuck on a single file (usually a cyrus.header file of a particular user). This is a lock problem that we have been fighting with for a long time (we are using 2.0.16) and end up restarting the server to fix it. You can fix this by running a lower number of lmtp-clients :-) So, my suggestion is to look at the LMTP process you have, see if a lot of them are blocked doing nothing (i.e. probably waiting for a file to unlock). If they all look busy, then I wouldn't worry about it. Scott Regards Andreas

Note that this will result in a single message per user, which is tremendously more taxing on the servers to actually do. If you're going to do this frequently, you'll want to put all of the recipients in a single SMTP envelope, so that your SMTP server can give them to lmtpd as a part of a single transaction.

Re: more hints please
Both errors are a result of your client trying to use a SASL mech which you don't have secrets for. In the case of OTP, you have the OPIE library installed and SASL found it, so it is assuming that the secrets are in /etc/opiekeys, otherwise it would be using /etc/sasldb2 as well. If you don't want to use these mechs for anything, then simply remove the plugins from /usr/lib/sasl2. Alternatively, you could restrict the set being advertised by Cyrus by using the sasl_mech_list option in imapd.conf. (Note that in this case the plugins might still complain because they are still loaded).

On a 10G quota for a mailbox the server starts warning the outlook user and closes the connection when the used space is just al little over 15% of the quota.

Re: FAQ How to change a userid
If anyone is interested, we have a perl script that does the following: The script will: #1) obtain list of mailboxes under the old UI via direct IMAP calls #2) create the new mailboxes via direct IMAP calls #3) do the recursive copy of mail files from old UID to new UID #4) reconstruct new UID mailbox #5) get the seen file for the old UID and prep for the new UID #6) get the contents of all cyrus.header files for old new UIDs into arrays #7) hula-hoop thru seen file stuff; do tricky search and replace #9) handle search and replace for old UID to new UID in newUID.sub file #10) move any sieve scripts to the new UID I can't say it is a perfect implementation because it does not try to address items 2 or 3 below, but these are not used extensively in our environment.

Re: sieve spamassassin
My guess is that:
o INBOX by default has posting permissions to everyone - other folders
do not. Since the INBOX.junk folder needs to have your sendmail (or
whatever) be able to post to the folder you need to allow everyone
posting permissions. It would be nice to have a facility which allows
the general mail deliverer (sendmail or whatever) to post to a folder
without allowing everyone that privilage.
