RE: SQUAT failed and loglevel issue
Hello Dudi, Thanks for your help. The following syntax is working for me: su - cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter -r -v user/*" Can you tell me please if this process (squatter -r)is time consuming, cause I've read on the net, that people decided not to use of this reason?

SQUAT aware applications expect the index file and complain if they can’t find it. I manage several large scale installations (500k+ msgs per mailbox, not too many mailboxes…). I can tell you the SQUAT does make the difference in these large mailboxes, apparently less effect on smaller mailboxes. It makes text search within the folder lightning fast, I even have a weekly cron job that runs it… I think the best solution for you is just to run squatter once so there is an index file present where it needs to be, and the error will disappear.

RE: Tutorial on how to backup/restore cyrus
I don't completely agree here, there are ways to do snapshots without any downtime for example in a SAN environment or using filesystem or LVM based snapshot methods. However, it does not mean your snapshots are really consistent from the aplications point of view. And that's the big question: How inconsistent can things be without shutting down cyrus? I think nobody can really tell you. There are several possible inconsistencies which depend on how you are doing snapshots or backups and what filesystem you are using. However, exactly the same inconsistencies will show up when your box crashes (kernel panic, power failure) and properly configured systems should survive this without loosing much. Of course, one has to make sure that the obvious is properly configured like for example disabling raid/disk write caches with no battery backup or making sure that the OS/filesystem really writes data out to the disk when the application thinks it has been written. It's not always an easy task and you will usually loose some performance by disabling those dangerous tuning things.

Hello, is there an *up-to-date* module for webmin, to manage cyrus mailboxes, ACL's on folders, quotas and so on? I'v found this: http://www.nwe.de/develop/ but its old (last release 2003) and buggy.

perl script for sieve filter
Hi, I need to write a perl script to activate automatically a sieve filter every time I create a new mailbox. The filter is a sieve script that I have already written and that works perfectly. I have not worked too much with the perl language and the Cyrus::SIEVE::managesieve module man does not help me either. Has someone a similar script or some perl code that can I use as guide?

You don't really need a perl script. Assuming that you have a proxyservers set in your imapd configurations. Just create a file upload-sieve that looks something like this: put sieve-file activate sieve-file and then run sieveshell --user=new-user --authname=proxyserver -exec=upload-sieve host:port after the account creation. You might have to pipe the proxyserver password to it depending on your auth mechanism. Alternatively, you can just look at how sieveshell works and write your own perl script. -- Huaqing Zheng Beer and Code Wrangler at Larg Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Re: perl script for sieve filter
I didn't know this patch although in any case it is not what I need. The sieve filter that I have to activate in the mailboxes is not for creating new folders. My filter moves certain messages to a folder in concrete. The folder always exists because is created when the mailbox is created and the user does not have privileges to erase it. I need this filter active for all the mailboxes. - ANNA - Craig White [EMAIL PROTECTED] le.comTo Ana Ribas/Upcnet 21/09/2005 18:35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc info-cyrus@lists.andrew.cmu.edu Subject Re: perl script for sieve filter On Wed, 2005-09-21 at 18:11 +0200, Ana Ribas/Upcnet wrote: Hi, I need to write a perl script to activate automatically a sieve filter every time I create a new mailbox.

plus addressing
Hello all- I'm in the process of moving from a qmail/uw-imap installation to a postfix/Cyrus-2.2 and I've one last problem to solve before I can start moving people onto the new system. We make heavy use of qmail's extension addressing, which uses a dash as the default delimiter. In Postfix this is configurable, but I've not been able to find any place in the Cyrus config files where I can change this from + to -. Is this even possible? If it's not, has anybody come up a good workaround that they can suggest?

Random deadlocks with cyrus-imapd-2.1.14
We are running cyrus-imapd-2.1.14, using db-3.1.17 for the deliver.db and tls_sessions.db. Lately, we've been getting deadlocks that stall mail delivery. When they happen, all of the lmtpd processes are blocked waiting to acquire a lock. If I try to run the db_stat utility, it also blocks. These deadlocks happen quite randomly, sometimes months apart, but sometimes only days. The server is a 4-CPU Sun 480 running Solaris 9. I haven't seen reports of anyone else having this problem. I notice that there is a db_deadlock utility that is able to break deadlocks. Should I be running this, or does Cyrus already do deadlock detection? I haven't seen any mention of this utility in the Cyrus documents. -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
