Re: wildcard quota setting

You've confirmed my fears


  Personally I use the autocreate patch for cyrus. But this only autoadds
a quote for new created accounts upon user first login or first message
sent to a user. (no cyradm cm required)

http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/

The only other way I see of doing it is to get a list of users that need
a quota set and create a script and pipe it into cyradm.

  

Yes, that was the only option I can see too in the absence of a
wildcard on quotas.
What I did was to pipe a lm list into a file, modify the file to be a
list of sq commands on each user root, and then pipe it back through
cyradm. It works apart from cyradm not liking the piping of the admin
password, but it works.

Whatever happened to the -file option ?

thanks!

Re: Please help with Simon's Cyrus RPMS (2.2.8), SMP, and really slow performance

2004-08-03 Thread Simon Matter
 Today, we upgraded the machine to the latest redhat ES 3.0
 with kernel Linux 2.4.21-15.ELsmp -- no luck... imtest -z still took 19
 seconds to run...  compared to 2-3 seconds on the cheapie machine.

Hm, you said SCSI Raid - that can mean alot.
Could you run a good old bonnie on both boxes and compare the numbers?
One thing that comes to mind when I hear such things is a system with disk
write cache disabled. Now, if you have a raid controller without battery
backed cache, your vendor will hopefully disable write cache on the
controller and also disable WCE bit on the drives. That way it will
perform very poorly but be as secure as possible.

Simon


 I generated the traces requested, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking
 for... Mostly because I don't have any idea what to compare it to...

 It generates a ton of output, so instead of putting them in this message,
 or attaching them, here are the urls

 http://mgrommet.dyndns.org/~mgrommet/traces/ltrace.txt

 http://mgrommet.dyndns.org/~mgrommet/traces/strace.txt

 If anyone has time, I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction...


 I suggest you run cyrus-imapd with
 strace -f -tt /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master
 ot
 ltrace -f -tt /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master
 and try to find out what and where it's going slow.

Migration Problems UW - Cyrus: Preserving Mail Flags

2004-08-03 Thread Axel Wagner

Hi,

I am currently in the process of migrating approx. 100 GByte of mail from UW IMAP to 
Cyrus IMAP.

Using the filesystem copy and reconstruct -r approach
mentioned on the Wiki, I have encountered some strange behavior.

When I use imtest(1) to connect to some user mailbox as admin user cyrus, I don't see 
any mail
flags. And in my case, even worse, I cannot set e.g. the \Seen or \Answered flag.

But when I connect as a regular user and select a mailbox using the INBOX. notation, 
I see all
the flags and can also modify them:

Session Log:

rzlimes2:~/Projects/NewMailServer/trunk/scripts# imtest -m DIGEST-MD5 -u cyrus -a cyrus

002 OK Completed
003 logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
003 OK Completed
Connection closed.



How come?

Without being able to set user flags as administrator, our migration process will not 
succeed
(user will complain having thousands of NEW emails...)

Looking forward to your help...

Thanks!

which uses anyone/anonymous in an ACL is now open to anyone/anonymous in 
ANY domain on the server.  I don't think we can assume that this is what

I think that's ok personally, since if you upgrade to virtual domains you're 
starting with everyone in the default domain anyway, it's up to you as the 
administrator to start fixing things by renaming people into the right 
domains, and fixing their appropriate ACL's as well...

Of course, if the admin sets the defaultdomain to coincide with the 
original single domain, then anyone/anonymous becomes 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED], which follows your logic. 
I'll have to think about this some more, because I think I'm forgetting 
another issue with inter-domains ACLs.
If it's just an issue of administrators having to define what they mean by 
anyone/anonymous, rather than an implementation one, I think it would be 
good to do the implementation, and then let administrators decide if they 
want to enable the ability or not...

Upgrading from 2.2.3 to 2.2.8

2004-08-03 Thread Lenny
I'm currently running 3 frontends, 2 backends and 1 mupdate server that are all
using cyrus version 2.2.3. I'd like to upgrade these boxes to version 2.2.8 but
was wondering if there's any known issues with just upgrading via rpm -Uhv with
Simon's newest rpm's?

Would there be any issues if, say, the frontends were running 2.2.8 and the
backends were running 2.2.3 for a short period of time or do they all have to
change at the same time?

Thanks.

Yes, set up another box with a new version of cyrus and spend some time
learning the different inns and out of a cyrusserver. 

Then make a script to copy over the mail via the imap-protocol. There
are a few scripts on the net the you may use.

How do you plan to do authentication? Expect sasl to be the part you
might have the greatest time configuring.

 Here are the bonnie results...

Hm, this is bonnie 1.x, which is okay, but it has 2Gb filesize limit. Your
big box has 2Gb of Ram, right? How big was your file size with bonnie? To
make this test work, boot both boxes with mem=128M as kernel parameter so
it will only use 128M of the memory. Then, run the bonnie with 'bonnie -s
1000' so the whole file will not fit in RAM!

 Hm, you said SCSI Raid - that can mean alot.
 Could you run a good old bonnie on both boxes and compare the numbers?
 One thing that comes to mind when I hear such things is a system with
 disk write cache disabled. Now, if you have a raid controller without
 battery backed cache, your vendor will hopefully disable write cache on
 the controller and also disable WCE bit on the drives. That way it will
 perform very poorly but be as secure as possible.

sieve for shared folders

2004-08-03 Thread Gil Freund
Can sieve scripts be set for Public (shared) folders? If so, where would 
one store them?

Thanks

 Also I suppose that a lot of people would like an extended autocreate
 Inbox patch with an autocreatesievescript option.
 

Coming in a little late here.  Has anyone tried to extend the autocreate
patch with this autocreatesievescript functionality?  We could
certainly use it here...

Not yet. One of the upcoming projects we will be undertaking is 
per-public (non-user) folder sieve scripts.
