sample config in the wiki
Hi folks I've added a short explanation of the POST's Cyrus config to the wiki, focusing on our authentication setup. It's going to need filling out I suspect, and no doubt a bit of clarification, but I was hoping to get a few comments on what's there now. http://asg.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/preview/Cyrus/SampleCyrusConfigurations Craig Ringer

imaps with multiple hostnames
Hi folks I'm running into a bit of an issue setting up Cyrus for TLS security, and was hoping someone could help me out. The host must be accessible using two different hostnames - one for external IMAPs via our gateway, and one for internal IMAPs with the host's name on our internal network. This is causing problems with SSL certs, and I was hoping there was a way to create a single certificate with multiple allowed hostnames. The only option I see otherwise is to host a modified version of our externally-visible DNS on our internal DNS server and provide a different value for 'mail.postnewspapers.com.au' (or whatever) that points to the internal host. I'm currently using a fake domain (.localnet) for internal DNS and using the real domain for externally visible public services only. The gateway will just be forwarding IMAPs traffic to the internal mail server using firewall rules. Ideally, I'd like to be able to set up a cert to allow both (say) 'mail.localnet' and 'mail.postnewspapers.com.au' as hostnames. If this is possible, are there any issues with doing so such as some mail clients not recognising the two hostnames? Any other suggestions? Craig Ringer
Changelog, LDAP features
Hello! 1) Is there any 'readable' changelog (better than the CVS entries) for Cyrus IMAP available? 2) Is there a list of planned featues and features which is being worked on? 3) Are there any plans to allow some further integration of LDAP? I am thinking about: a) Fetching Sieve-scripts from LDAP (would guess not) b) Fetching Quota settings from LDAP (same) It's probably best to write some LDAP->Cyrus gateway for that, right? Thanks!

cannot get idled to run
I'm running (compiled from source) Cyrus-imapd-2.1.13 on RedHat Linux 8.0
[all patched up to date.]
With every incoming message I get the oft seen "error sending to idled"
message in syslog facility local6. Cyrus is of course compiled to use
idled. :)
My cyrus.conf contains:
snip---
START {
# do not delete this entry!
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"
# this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
idled cmd="idled"
}
snip---
my /etc/imapd.conf contains:
snip---
idlesocket: /var/imap/socket/idle
snip---
/var/imap/socket/ looks like:
snip---
# ls -al /var/imap/socket/
total 8
drwxr-s---2 smmspcyrus4096 Nov 18 15:42 .
drwxrwsr-x 12 smmspcyrus4096 Nov 18 15:50 ..
srwxrwxrwx1 root cyrus 0 Jun 17 22:24 idle
snip---
ps shows idled is in fact, not running. Sending the Cyrus master process a
SIGHUP leaves this in my syslog -- no sign of idled
starting/stopping/crashing:
snip---
Nov 18 16:07:42 portnoy master[7145]: got SIGHUP

of 5854 entries
Nov 18 16:07:44 portnoy ctl_cyrusdb[7532]: done checkpointing cyrus
databases
snip---
Thoughts? I even tried to start idled by hand:
snip---
# su - cyrus -c '/usr/cyrus/bin/idled -C /etc/imapd.conf'
bind: Address already in use
snip---
That explains why it doesn't start. But I don't understand why I'm getting
a bind error on the unix socket... ?
The only thing (that I see) idled should be binding to is the unix socket
named in imapd.conf via 'idlesocket'. But a netstat shows that the unix
socket /var/imap/socket/idled is not in use, and invoking fuser on the
sockets in /var/imap/socket confirms the idled socket is not inuse. (I
fuser'd the lmtp socket to make sure fuser does what I think it does. --
7145 is the cyrus master at the moment. :)
snip---
# fuser lmtp
lmtp: 7145 7584
# fuser idle
#
snip---
Anyone care to swing the clue bat at me?

moving Cyrus again
Hello, I already asked that question (moving the Cyrus server from one computer to another) yesterday and was told that I should use cyrusdb utility. But neither documentation nor man told me what actual files does it create and how do I restore them after copying. Could somebody please help me with that? I have Cyrus installed on one box and need to move it to another. The source box is OpenBSD 3.3 and the target box is FreeBSD 5.1. Source server is Cyrus 2.1.11 and I am planning to have Cyrus 2.2.2 beta on a target. I need to move all users' folders and ACLs and (ideally) their SASL accounts (I am using SASLDB). Thanks a lot. -- Best regards, Denis mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't understand why permissions would be denied. The user "cyrus" has all

I can create/delete directories within /var/spool and /var/spool/imap from

confusion about DB versions
Hi all, I'm confused about all the DB options available to link cyrus-imapd (2.1.15) with. Is there a recommended Berkeley DB version? It seems ./configure tries 4.1 first, and then goes on on a descending order. If linked with BDB 4.1, will it be able to read stuff writen by a previous cyrus-imapd build which was linked with BDB 4.0?
FATAL: lmtpd: unable to init duplicate delivery database
Hello, I have a strange lmtpd problem where it does not accept connections and it produces the following log errors when cyrus starts: Nov 18 13:49:09 tux ctl_cyrusdb[19874]: checkpointing cyrus databases Nov 18 13:49:09 tux lmtpd[19879]: DBERROR db4: operation not permitted during recovery.
