intermittent mupdate failures.
We are currently working on migrating our UW servers to Cyrus. We currently have one each mupdate master, frontend, and backend. We're migrating users using a slightly modified version of the imapsync script. What we're seeing is that sometimes, a user's mailbox is not properly propagated to the front end. The update comes from the backend to the mupdate master, but never goes from the master to the frontend. This is confirmed with network snoops, additionally the mailboxes.db on the master and the backend are correct, while mailboxes.db on the frontend is missing the entries. It seems to happen about 1/3 of the time, but I don't have enough evidence to really trust that number. In cyrus.conf on the frontend we have: mupdate cmd="mupdate" listen=3905 prefork=3 and on the mupdate master, we have: mupdate cmd="mupdate -m" listen=3905 prefork=3 Now, the (possible) ~1/3 failure rate with 3 mupdate daemons seems to be an "interesting" co-incidence. If we restart mupdate on the master, then, as would be expected the "missing" mailboxes correctly get sent to the frontend machine when it reconnects. Has anyone else seen this issue? As you might imagine, it's kind of holding up our migration.

The interesting thing is that a message from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
survived the discard. Is that because there should be a "stop;" after
the discard action? It matched some other rule down the road in the
second "if" structure.
from RFC 3028:
[...]
4.5. Action discard
Syntax: discard
Discard is used to silently throw away the message. It does so by
^
simply canceling the implicit keep. If discard is used with other
^^^ ^
actions, the other actions still happen. Discard is compatible with
all other actions. (For instance fileinto+discard is equivalent to
fileinto.)
[...]
Sieve processes the script, doing the actions set there.
If at the end of the script the message was not filed into any mailbox,
it is silently filed into the primary mailbox.
And only this implicit last step (file it in the primary mailbox)
is removed by the discard command.
It does NOT have an implicit stop.

Not sure if it relates or not but beware that what MS Outlook displays as 'from' and what's in the 'From' header can (and quite often are) different. There's a FAQ somewhere in the Mailman or http://list.org/ site that documents this and I've seen it as well. Not all versions behave like this though, but it *might* factor in.

Migrate from stand-alone to murder
I have looked everywhere for documentation on this, and haven't found anything. My question is, of course, how easy is it to migrate from a standalone IMAP server to a murder cluster, and what would be involved in such a migration?

Which (for completeness of this thread) can be set using cyradm:
