POP3 timeout, IMAP OK
Hello, I have Redhat Enterprise AS 3.0 ( update 2 not installed ) and Cyrus-imap 2.2.3-8 ( from RPM Simon Matter ) + SASL + PAM + OpenLDAP Yesterday for the first time I have problem with POP3 server. > telnet localhost 110 +OK Cyrus POP3 v2.2.3 server ready user username +OK Name is a valid mailbox pass password wait wait and wait and timeout No error in logs files. Same problem for all users. If I connect with Webmail (IMAP port), no problem I can see all messages. I restart all service ( saslauthd,ldap,cyrus-imap ) and the problem persists, I reboot the server and it's OK. Any idea ?

Cyrus IMAP not recieving mail
Hello, I have my IMAP server v 2.2.4 behind a firewall that I'm doing port forwarding on (Slackware 9.1). Using a mail client like Evolution or Outlook Express I can authenticate using saslauthd (LDAP) and recieve my folders. I can also create folders. Seems like the IMAP side is working. I'm using sendmail as the MTA. I used the cyrusv2.mc posted on the internet to create the sendmail.cf.I can telnet to port 25 and get a sendmail connection: 220 mail.tow.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Wed, 26 May 2004 06:11:03 -0400 When I do netstat I see that I've established a tcp connection smtp.

Re: Cyrus IMAP not recieving mail
It maybe the path problem for the program "deliver", sendmail will look for /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver, but actually its location is /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver, so you may need to make a UNIX link.

Corrupt inbox, related to size?
I had to reconstruct my first cyrus user inbox today. I have to say it makes me a bit nervous. We are running Postfix+Cyrus+LDAP with about 500 user, pretty good traffic, on 512Ram Raid1. This particular user had about 1000 messages in her inbox. It was fine after I ran reconstruct, but this is very inconvient as I need to take down cyrus during the process. Does anyone have ideas as to what would cause this. Could it be related to the number of messages in her inbox?

cyrus versions, filesystems, postfix versions, cyrus database formats being used. 1k messages is nothing, i have severa with 300k or more, one with a million messages or more.

Postfix and Cyrus-IMAP using virtdomains: userid and SQL
I'm trying to setup my postfix to use PgSQL lookups for virtual domains, and to deliver mail for virtual domains into Cyrus-IMAP. My method is to use Cyrus-IMAP's virtdomains: userid option, so that Cyrus-IMAP uses it's built-in virtual-domains support and mailboxes that are accessable as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, does anyone know any ideas of how to actually get Postfix itself to actually /deliver/ mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] into Cyrus-IMAP, and what kind of SQL structures and lookups I'd need to do to actually fully accomplish this task? I have my virtual_alias_maps pulling pgsql queries out and apparently looking up [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it exists, and if so, returns that exact same [EMAIL PROTECTED] It accepts mail for it, but when it gets beyond that, I get an error with postfix: May 25 23:06:29 netgear postfix/error[37479]: DAAE117043: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table) And so, it bounces it back after it's already accepted it.

cyrus hanging (possible saslauthd problem)
Dear All, We have been running cyrus imap for a couple of months now and it works well most of the time. We have something like 20,000 registered users with around 800 simultaneous users most of the day. Lately we have noticed a strange problem which we suspect might be saslauthd but might not. I thought it might be worth asking if anyone else has seen this. The facts are: cyrus imap 2.2.3 saslauthd 2.1.8 We are currently using /etc/shadow so saslauthd only supports [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -v saslauthd 2.1.18 authentication mechanisms: getpwent rimap shadow We are running on a Linux server [EMAIL PROTECTED]: uname -a Linux imap2 2.4.25 #1 SMP Thu Apr 15 21:58:02 BST 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux The symptoms depend on the e-mail client. However, I think pine shows it best. I can login and read e-mail quite happily most of the time. However, sometimes it accepts my username and password and then says "opening inbox" for ever. Usually, while this is in progress a message will flash up about an untagged response. However, it is not visible long enough to see what the message is about. In any event it will never open the inbox. We have noticed that this is accompanied by a message in the auth file that saslauthd writes failures to such as: May 26 20:31:29 imap2 saslauthd[6296]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=tellingj] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=shadow] [reason=Unknown] This happens even when the password that was typed in was correct. We have also noticed that if this is happening then it does it for most (if not all) people. However, after a minute or two it stops again and everything is fine for a little while. If the same thing happens with other clients the behaviour may vary. For example, Netscape just reports an incorrect password immediately and continues to do so each time the person tries to enter the password for a few minutes. After a minute or two of this it works fine again. What I am not sure about is whether it is happening every so often or whether I am seeing it every so often and others are seeing the same thing at different times. Has anyone seen this type of thing before? Does anyone know how to fix it? Could it be a locking thing? Is there some resource that is being dead locked? We will be moving to Kerberos in the not too distant future but if there is a quick and easy fix now I would be most grateful.

Cyrus dies
Dear All, Another problem which may be related to the one I reported earlier but I don't think so. The facts cyrus imap 2.2.3 Linux 2.4.25 The server only runs cyrus imap. There are no other services on this machine and only a few administrators can login. The Problem As far as I can tell every night at approximately 21:15 the server dies. Here is some uptimes as that times approaches. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: uptime 21:01:19 up 40 days, 22:48, 21 users, load average: 0.88, 0.55, 0.33 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: uptime 21:17:33 up 40 days, 23:05, 21 users, load average: 0.18, 0.27, 0.31 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: uptime 21:17:37 up 40 days, 23:05, 21 users, load average: 0.18, 0.27, 0.31 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: uptime 21:17:55 up 40 days, 23:05, 21 users, load average: 0.74, 0.39, 0.34 Following that last one I cant type anything at all. I also can't login to the server and anyone using it will find that they can't read any e-mail.

Re: Cyrus dies
I suggest you use 'top', 'ps', and 'pstree' to find out what's running. BEcause obviously something is. In Linux if something is blocking on Disk I/O it will push up the load average. IT sounds almost like your daily cron jobs are scanning the cyrus mail spool and pushing over some cheap IDE drives. --On Wednesday, May 26, 2004 21:26 +0100 Colin Bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear All, Another problem which may be related to the one I reported earlier but I don't think so.

newbie authentication problem
I am new to this whole cyrus thing, but I am trying to learn. RedHat 9.0 Cyrus 2.2.3-8 Cyrus SASL 2.1.18 Postfix Mysql 3.23.58 I sort of had everything working so far by myself and a lot of Googleing :). But now I am having a difficult time getting the authentication to work properly. Web-cyradm works fine and sees all the cyrus info in the mysql database, but I cannot connect to cyrus through other means: imtest gives S: L01 NO Login failed: user not found Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 0 C: Q01 LOGOUT Connection closed. use not found shows up when I try and connect through evolution or OGo, etc. I know the user is there because I can see them in web-cyradm I have tried multiple imapd.conf files including the HOWTO with pam_mysql etc, but that didn't work. /var/log/messages gives a lot of these Flashy pop3[11789]: sql_select option missing Flashy pop3s[11790]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available I have tried auth with auxprop but it's not working either: this was the imapd.conf file configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus root allowplaintext: yes sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.ca pwcheck_method: auxprop auxprop_plugin: sql sql_engine: mysql mech_list: login plain sql_hostnames: localhost sql_user: user sql_passwd: password sql_database: mail sql_verbose: yes sql_select: SELECT password FROM accountuser WHERE username = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' /var/log/messages gives more of these: pop3[11465]: sql_select option missing pop3[11465]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available pop3[11465]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied the closest i came was when my imapd.conf looked like this: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus root allowplaintext: yes sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN sasl_sql_engine: mysql sasl_sql_hostnames: localhost sasl_sql_user: user sasl_sql_passwd: password sasl_database: mail sasl_sql_select: select password from accountuser where username = '%u' tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.ca /var/log/messages doesnt give any errors upon startup, but when you try and login then: Flashy imap[11940]: sql plugin could not connect to host localhost Flashy imap[11940]: sql plugin couldn't connect to any host Flashy imap[11940]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied Now I used to just get the plugin error and not the Berkeley db error and when that was happening I could login under the admins, but it wouldn't work with a user - it still wasn't querying the mysql database. But with all the changes now I can't open the Berkeley db which put me a step backwards. Can someone point me in the right direction? I am really new to all of this so forgive my rambling, but I would like to get this working Peter --- 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

Re: Corrupt inbox, related to size?
How about this. I found out that the previous administrator was restarting Cyrus and Flushing Postfix every couple hours as Cyrus seemed to be having problems with hanging. A sneaky hidden cron... So I will look into this... but If the user happened to be accessing Cyrus when the server was "bounced" could this corrupt the mailbox. That is great to know about not restarting Cyrus.. I was just following a man of mine. I guess I'm curious how it would handle receiving a message while reconstructing.
