Hi,

I'm using both versions on different servers and I can say they both work
very well for me. The pam way is more flexible if you have more than one
place where users are stored, say LDAP and MySQL, or you want to restrict
logins by other means like time or whatever.
The only problem I see with pam_ldap is with the cyrus-imapd virtual
domains. AFAIK it doesn't work for more than one domain because PAM
doesn't know about realms.

saslauthd+pam+pam_ldap VS saslauthd+ldap

[Wang Penghui]

Hi,
I have been working on a Mail System for several days.
I used Postfix + Cyrus-IMAPd + Cyrus-SASL + OpenLDAP.
LDAP Database is the accounts container.
And the system should support virtual domains.
All the processes which accesses the LDAP database thru saslauthd.
I am using the saslauthd's ldap Authentications mechanism to auth 
against LDAP.

But afaik that there are two motheds to implement this feature.
The first one is which i used.
And the other one is saslauthd's pam authentications mechanism.
It could works with pam_ldap to implement the auth against LDAP.
But it have one more layer than the above mothed.
Imho, i think that less layers more quick.
Any suggestion?
Could you help me to pick up one?
Thanks in advance!

courier-imap to cyrus-imap migration

[gen2]

I'm trying to transfer a small number of accounts from courier-imap to a new 
cyrus-imap server, and was hoping to be able to just drag the mail from a 
courier-folder to a cyrus-folder for easy migration.

It's possible to move mail this way (on my current config) from cyrus to 
courier, but not the other way around. When trying, an error comes up (in 
Kmail) saying "Could not write to file: <(my cyrus server)>"

Thanks for any suggestions!

I couldn't get that to work, kept getting errors saying port 25 was already 
being used, but you put me on the right track, Thank You!

This seems to be doing the trick:

127.0.0.1:smtp  inet  n   -   n   -   -   smtpd

-o smtpd_use_tls=no

Why on earth were you killing processes at random?  You'll almost
certainly have more trouble with berkeley DB than with skiplist.

I'll also ask the obvious -- did you subsequently stop the server and run

For what it's worth, I'm building a new server to replace my
long-standing Solaris 7 + Cyrus 1.6.22 server --- one hour of downtime
since 1999.  I've used the gcc from the SFW collection, Cyrus 2.2.4 and
Solaris 10 build 55 (which is probably the current Solaris Express bits:
I'm a Platinum Beta site, so I get my bits via another route).  I've
transferred my own mailboxes over, and on ``Cortez burning his boats''

processes at random while under load corrupted my skiplist mailboxes.db
file.  For safety I've switched that to berkeley (Sun provide db4.1 in

It's for SpamAssassin (http://au.spamassassin.org/index.html). It
"teaches" SA about spam messages so that supposedly SA will catch them
automatically instead of user's having to drag them into the Spam mailbox.

deliver is just an lmtp client.  You'll get much better performance by 
using lmtp directly (it severly reduces the number of fork() calls made 
per message delivery).

The reference to the 'cyrus' mailbox_transport is outdated.  You 
should now use lmtp instead.  Anyway, deliver(8) use LMTP to actually 
deliver the mail, so you may cut the command invocation and have 
Postfix deliver via LMTP in the first place.

You can use 'ipurge' in a cron script.  I have my users put their spam in
a "Spam" folder then have a nightly cron job run 'sa-learn' on it followed
by:
 su cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 10 user/dwight/Spam'

This deletes anything over 10 days old.

Cyrus IMAP 10 Year Anniversary

[Rob Siemborski]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello All,
I'm happy to share with you that today, June 4, 2004, marks the 10 year 
anniversary of the first public alpha release of the Cyrus IMAP server.

Ten years ago, John Myers announced the release of a very early version of 
what is now one of the most advanced IMAP servers in existence today 
(http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=7). 
Ten years is a substantial amount of time for an open source project to 
thrive!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have spent 
time designing, coding, managing, debugging, testing, and even just plain 
using the system we have developed over the last decade.  Its been an 
exciting project to be a part of -- and we couldn't have gotten this far 
without everyone's help.

Here's looking to another successful decade,
- -Rob

The reference to the 'cyrus' mailbox_transport is outdated.  You should 
now use lmtp instead.  Anyway, deliver(8) use LMTP to actually deliver 
the mail, so you may cut the command invocation and have Postfix deliver 
via LMTP in the first place.

That was with old cyrus-imapd versions.

Got it, this does it:

/var/lib/imap/user/y/yvonnekake.seen.old flat \ 
/var/lib/imap/user/y/yvonnekake.seen skiplist

Unfortunately there isn't much documentation available.  You can start by
downloading the latest cyrus release (2.2.5) and use --with-auth=pts
--with-pts=ldap --with-ldap configure options.  Read imapd.conf man page
for ldap related options.  (The man page needs improvement, but it should
give you a start)

If you still need help, post your questions to the mailing list and I'll
try to help.

Of course it can be interesting to know how cyrus-imapd stores mails in
case of a desaster recovery procedure or if you want to move accounts to
other servers, but that's another issue which again has nothing to do with
postfix or any MTA.

Automatically expire messages in imap folder

[Adi Linden]

Is it possible to have cyrus-imap automatically expire messages in a 
subfolder for every user of the system? I would like to deliver messages 
identified as SPAM to a particular folder, INBOX.spam. Further it would be 
nice if the number of messages in this folder could be limited, not by a 
quota but by automatically deleting older messages. Is that possible?

/var/imap/socket/lmtp set back to root?

[Kevin Baker]

I finally got postfix+cyrus working through lmtpd!!

However, now whenever I restart cyrus the
"/var/imap/socket/lmtp" gets set back to root:root

Which causes the "Permission Denied" problems.

I can set it back to cyrus:mail each time, but would like
to correct this issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks,


Kevin

cyradm, setquota and none

[Philip Chambers]

I have cyrus 2.2.3 and the cyradm man page says that one can use

  cyradm user.username STORAGE none

to remove a quota.

When I try this I get the error:

  setquota: STORAGE: none: not a number

In searching for information about this I saw reference to using "-1" instead of 
"none", but that gave the same result: "nat a number".  I then found an example 
which just used

  cyradm user.username

I found that did not fail, rather is set the quota to -1 in the quota file.  i.e. it 
did not, strictly speeking, remove the quota.

Can one actually remove a quota, and why is the man page for cyradm wrong?

Phil.
