Re: cyradm freebsd ldap auth problem
What is your auth method? Ie. show us output of: grep -E ^sasl /etc/imapd.conf if you are using saslauthd, then does testsaslauthd works? And did you read and understand all installation instructions? Ondrej.

Saslauthd and 2 authentication mechanism
Hello, I want to use 2 authentication mechanisms with Saslauthd. When the first one gives no, it should try the other one. The man-page says: saslauthd supports one or more 'authentication mechanisms', but it does not work, saslauthd uses only the first mechanism.

Tunning for large number of files in INBOX
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm trying to set up cyrus-imap as a backend for an email archiving solution. I'm creating one account on the imap server for each customer domain(s) we'll be archiving mail for. I'm concerned that the number of emails that will end up in each INBOX will reach some limit (ext3 fs limit, practical limit, etc.) Is there a way I can have cyrus hash the files within the INBOX directories into sub directories? If this isn't possible does anyone have a sieve script that can sort mail into folders by date? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Sending alert through IMAP?
Hi, This question is a bit off topic, but I hope someone can sched some light on this. In rare circumstances, we need to send message to all our users. Usually we post a notice on the webmail web site, but the problem is with users which use their MUAs with IMAP4 clients. As almost all clients nicely show a popup when the user is over quota, I was wondering if we can use the same mechanism to send arbitrary messages to clients?

This enables a hash tree index for directories that supposedly improves lookups with very large directories.

configuring with postfix
Hi, I really appreciate the help that everyone has been giving me. I have gotten very far with using Cyrus IMAP and I must say it is heads above courier, the one I used to use. I have one nagging issue and all will be straight. I would like to make it easier for users posting to a shared folder. For example, bb+public.announcements, they might type announcements instead. I have tried to do this with postfix but to no avail. The message keeps getting bounced. How do I configure postfix such that it expands the alias announcements into the full name of the public folder? I apologize if I have the wrong list.
