Cyrus Imapd and Outlook XP header weirdness?
Hello, i have been testing Cyrus Imapd 2.2.3 with some Mozilla and Outlook XP clients. I observe some weird behaviour with Outlook XP (SP3) and the server. Emails i receive appear on Outlook with "on behalf of" in front of the sender. And if this wasn't strange enough, if i move emails from the Cyrus imapd server Inbox to other imap servers, they seem to lose the From: field. With Mozilla things seem to work ok, and with the same Outlook client and other imap server (UWashington) it also works fine. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? I am using sendmail as the mta, by the way, running in Fedora Core 1. Thanks in advance, Pedro --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Either set "cyrus_destination_recipient_limit = 1" or skip deliver and use
Postfix's lmtp Client to carry the Mails to Cyrus.

Re:accents in mailbox names
Hi again, The utf-7 thing is specified in the RFC2060 in "5.1.2. Mailbox Namespace Naming Convention", and as IMAP4 clients should conform to this RFC, Outlook and your Webmail clients should do the utf7 encoding when creating mailbox names. If you still have some troubles, then you will need to recompile cyrus after changing the GOODCHARS stuff. bye, françois > Selon "François LECOLIER " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > When creating a mailbox, it's name should be encoded in UTF7, and also you > > should add chars quote ' and & and ? to the GOODCHARS define in > > imap/mboxname.c for the UTF7 encoding to be fully accepted in mailbox names. > > > > > http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&searchterm=gaudreau&msg=19930 > > Thanks a bunch for that information. > One last question though.

cyrus inbox not working
I am building a mail server using cyrus of course, postfix mysql for the backend. I am creating the accounts using web-cyradm and it seems when I create the account everythig looks fine. I log into cyradm on the command line everything looks fine as well as all the folders being there on the server and mail also delivers to the accounts. But, when I try to log in using a mail client I have tried a few and it seems that the inbox isnt there. I have also tried to create sub folders and still no luck.

In our environment, I would have to say that easily, 3/4ths of all our e-mail hitting the LMTP server is over-quota'd e-mail. What I have done is to create a new hash file called /etc/mail/overquota.db that gets updated periodically (once an hour or maybe even less) with the list of users currently over their quota's. I then modified the sendmail queuegroup rules to check for the existence of a user in that hash file and move then to the overquota queue if so. I find this better than dumping all e-mail destined for local delivery to the cyrus queue, and then using a queue mover to find all the messages that had attempted LMTP delivery, but failed with an "Over quota" message. That turns out to be very expensive with regards to disk I/O and CPU utilization. Also, if anyone else has other interesting ideas on how they handle lots of over quota e-mail (besides shortening the time that e-mail is kept on the server or rejecting that e-mail outright), I would be interested in hearing about it.

At the next poll round, it's the same story, none of the messages on the server are deleted and everything is downloaded once again. My Cyrus-IMAP is version 2.1.15 Tested with different POP3 clients??? Sometimes mailclients choking on malformed messages at POP3 download. No, actually I haven't... I only use Outlook 2003, perhaps I should give it a try with something else next time it happens. Do you know what kind of messages (or "malformations") usually makes Outlook barf?

Migrating from Simeon Messagestore to cyrus 2.1.x
At this moment we are planning to migrate the e-mail infrastructure of our company (around 50 employees) from sendmail-simeon to a postfix-cyrus based system. The total amount of IMAP mail stored on the current system is about 100 GB of data. While we were testing we found out that migrating from the Simeon MessageStore to cyrus looks fairly easy at the first glance, but now we struggle with only one last issue. This being the message flags that are stored in the cyrus.index file. Once I do a 'reconstruct', the flags are lost, when I copy the original .index file over the cyrus.index file that is created by 'reconstruct', the server does not respond correctly. The format of the .index file is apparently so different from the cyrus.index file, that cyrus does not know what to do with it. Searching through the list archives and google, I haven't found the answer I am looking for, yet. Hopefully one of you has found the answer for us and is willing to help. What I have found is a message in this lists archives, dating Aug. 02 2001 that says that to migrate "you may be better off doing a protocol migration over IMAP to preserve the flags": http://www.irbs.net/internet/info-cyrus/0108/0045.html Since this is three years ago, I hope someone has managed to create a script that migrates the fdb.index file to a cyrus.index format instead, since that would so much simplify the whole migration proces. What we have is this: Execmail IMAP4rev1 (2.1.2/199906021506) What we want to migrate to is this: Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.16 or newer, since the actual migration will take place within a few months from now. If you need more information than what I've given so far, please let me know.
