Re: number only mailboxes
Hello all, Is it possible to have number only mailboxes ? Like user.202021 Patches exist to do that with older releases, current versions don't need a patch anymore. Simon I can create the mailboxes, but when I try to access it with pop or imap I get invalid user Any help would be appreciated Regards Ing.

Re: Switch from /var/spool/imap/t/user/test to /var/spool/imap/user/test
Hi list, Hi test :) On Mac OS X server, the user mailbox is stored as /var/spool/imap/user/test, but on Federoa core 3, the user mailbox is stored as /var/spool/imap/t/user/test, How I can switch /var/spool/imap/t/user/test to /var/spool/imap/user/test on Fedora core 3? Do I need to recompile cyrus-imapd on fedora core 3 or just change some imap configuration in /etc/imapd.conf? Have a look at 'hashimapspool' option in /etc/imapd.conf. Of course you have to rehash your mailspool, check /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/rehash for this.

Re: torture continues! Another install error with cyrus imap
Well it was an issue with multiple installs of sasl on the system . By default there was an installation of SASL through the RPM, and then I installed the latest version on the server. After creating the correct symbolic links which were suggested to me on another list, the issue was sorted out. Here is what sorted out the issue link from /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/ to /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/ and /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Cyrus/ to /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Cyrus/ ldconfig again and it worked I would like to thank everyone on this list who have spend days helping me out to sort this issue. Although its not all done, but I am close to a final solution. Few issues with postfix but should be able to sort it out, otherwise I know where to go to sort this out :) Thanks again everyone.

Email case problem
I have a slight problem, and was curious what can be done to fix it. I have a Cyrus/Postfix setup. It works great; however, we often receive emails that don't match the case of the accounts on cyrus (all of them are strictly lower case). In that event, postfix receives them OK, but cyrus rejects them during LMTP negotiation. Many of our clients are sending stuff using addresses that are using all caps or title caps. These emails are being rejected by our system. I totally understand that Cyrus and Postfix, for that matter, try hard to adhere to standards (RFC, for example). However, business is business... and we have to cater to our customers. Many of these customers are on Windows systems, and don't have control (or knowledge, for that matter) of their mail systems anyway. Is there a workaround? Is there a setting for Cyrus that tells it to ignore case? I'm also going to post to the postfix list also. Any help would be most appreciated.

NO Mailbox does not exist
I have a few problematic mailboxes (out of approx 4) that I cannot access using 'SELECT INBOX' and I do not understand why that is. I have tried using 'reconstruct', and deleting/recreating these users' mailstores but the problem persists.

authorization with ptloader and authentication by sasl
Hi all With ptload we've a nice tool to connect to an ldap backend. And with ldap_filter in imapd.conf the user has the ability to do nice things.This works very well. But as I understand this is only the authorization mechanism. I always have problems with the authentication (sasl). An example. Lets say we have this user information in the ldap backend. # usermail04, people, freeweb, freeweb, ch dn: uid=usermail04, ou=people,ou=freeweb,dc=freeweb,dc=ch uid: usermail04 sn: none uidNumber: -1 gidNumber: -1 homeDirectory: /nonexistent objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: xMail cn: Testuser userPassword:: e01EaEgMEUs4gaUmRZSU9xSll0Y1FnPT0K maildrop: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can login without problem if I use the uid as username and the correct password (auth=pts). But is it not possible to use the alias value too with the same password for the login procedure? My problem is, that I've an application which is generating random uid as username. Only the alias value is human readable. Which mean I'll give the user the ability to use his alias name for the pop3/ imap authentication. Of course it should work with the uid too. Is there no configuration magic which can do that? A few months ago Igor Brezac send me an example patch. But I never figured out how it works.
