Cyrus IMAP 2.2.12 threading and locking ?
Hi, I have here a murder cluster with the following setup: Cyrus Master: CPU: Pentium 3 1Ghz Memory: 1GB Distro: Debian GNU/Linux Cyrus Backend / Frontend (backend and frontend are running a separate master process): CPU: Pentium 3 1Ghz Memory: 2GB Distro: Debian GNU/Linux Cyrus Backend / Frontend (backend and frontend are running a separate master process): CPU: Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz Memory: 2GB Distro: Debian GNU/Linux All are running the cyrus packages from http://debian.speedblue.org/. On the single processor box everything goes ok. On the dual processor box I have a lot of trouble. When enabling the imap / pop3 proxies on the frontend then after a while the complete murder setup is hanging. After restarting the master everything is ok again. This only happens when I enable the imap / pop3 proxies on the dual processor box. With the lmtp frontend I don't have any problems, but that one is directly connecting to the master server. So it seems to me there is something going wrong with the mupdate communication to the master. My question: are there any patches or configuration items that are addressing this issue ? If you need more information about the configs or need to have some gdb traces please contact me.

Cyrus IMAPd 2.3.0 Released
I am pleased to announce the release of Cyrus IMAPd 2.3.0. This is an BETA-quality release, reflecting that it has significant numbers of new features that have not been tested on a wide-scale basis, although earlier versions of this code have been running at two sites for quite some time. Some of the new features include mailspool replication (based on David Carter's work), unified Murder code, separate meta-data partitions, several new IMAP and Sieve extensions, and many more visible and invisible changes. For full details, please see doc/changes.html and doc/install-upgrade.html which are included in the distribution.

mail transfer to gmail?
Hello everyone, We use cyrus-imapd-2.2.10. A user asked to transfer his mail to gmail in a batch mode. Anybody have ever done things like that? Is it even possible? If this is not an appropriate list for such a question, I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks in advance for suggestions and ideas.

Re: Outlook does not delete but displays deleted messages asstrike-trough
We've been migrating our users from UW IMAP to Cyrus, and a few of our Outlook and Outlook Express users have been having a problem regarding deletion that they never had with UW IMAP. When they open a message up in a separate window, then close it, Outlook/Outlook Express marks the message as deleted, with a strike-through. One of our Outlook users could no longer read the message at that point. One Outlook user also reported that clicking send/receive messages didn't do anything. -- Karl Boyken, system administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303A MLH, Dept. of Comp.

One of our Outlook users could no longer read the message at that point. These types of issues are created by configuration options within the MUA itself - configuration options that don't contemplate the effects on an IMAP server. Opening a message and closing it to find it deleted means that they have chosen an option to automatically move read mail to another folder which would cause it to be deleted from INBOX. That's a horrible waste of resources on an IMAP server. Best I can suggest is that Computer Sciences Department get copies of the frequently used clients so they can duplicate the client optional settings, behaviors on the IMAP server and create a set of recommended settings for the various mail client applications. You should note that Microsoft deliberately cripples the IMAP capabilities within their Outlook program - rendering it a less than ideal IMAP client. One Outlook user also reported that clicking send/receive messages didn't do anything. What was it supposed to do?

listen to a dynamic interface
Hi, I want to set /etc/cyrus.conf to start another imap[s] proccess to listen in a dynamic ip interface (ppp0). AFAIU, you have to specify the ip address of the interface in the listen option. So, how would a ppp0 interface that has a dynamic ip that needs its own proccess (that's because of the ssl certificate) be configured?

Re: listen to a dynamic interface
You could always stop/start cyrus based on the ppp interface being live. That way it'd bind to whatever address is active and then only when the link is up. I suppose you could leave it live all the time and just restart it when the ppp link state changes. It's not common to run a mail server behind a dynamic address, they generally benefit from being on stable, always-on, connections. You *can* run them otherwise but it's usually not recommended. Other ideas like using a VPN come to mind but it depends on just how complex you need it to be. -Bill Kearney - Original Message - I want to set /etc/cyrus.conf to start another imap[s] proccess to listen in a dynamic ip interface (ppp0).

Re: listen to a dynamic interface
let me explain better what I am trying to do. I have 2 certificates for tls use. One is for the internal network and the other for the Internet. Cyrus let me do this by specifing service_tls_* config in the /etc/imapd.conf and set separated services in the /etc/cyrus.conf. The problem is that (AFAIK) the cyrus.conf file only let the format of the listen option be either: listen=port (in this case imap[s]) or listen=IP:port (specific port) The problem is that the Internet IP is dynamic and I will have to changing it on every link up. So far I can think into 2 solutions: - A small perl script to be run on link up that corrects the ip address. - make it run into another port and redirect the traffic with ip tables. I am looking for a third way that only envolves cyrus (if that really exists). So, any ideas? thanks Raul Dias On Mon, 2005-12-12 at 15:30 -0500, Bill Kearney wrote: You could always stop/start cyrus based on the ppp interface being live.
