You forgot the simplest one: Cyrus IMAP on a cluster with no replication, no murder, no nothing, but on a (really working) clustered FS and no BDB. Oh yeah, you still have to have some way to make the system appear to be a single system to the users. I'm probably going to use just a simple round-robin DNS, but you could use an LVS frontend or something similar, if you want real load-balancing. It really all depends upon what you need. I prefer the aforementioned solution because I think it is very simple at the application level (if not the FS level). I need to build mail system without using uncommon hardware such as shared storage connected via SCSI or fiber channel. I need "software-only" solution. Can you recommend me what kind of clustered filesystem and/or network block devices to use? GFS, DRBD-0.8, something else? What is better, reliable and more tested?

notifyd memory leak
This is somewhat of a long shot, but maybe someone has seen this problem. On all of our Cyrus backends, we've seen the memory size of the notify daemon will monotonically increase until all swap space is eventually taken up: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIMECPU COMMAND 16338 cyrus 1 590 4082M 1309M sleep 21:12 0.00% notifyd We can recover the memory, of course, by restarting cyrus master, but this is still an annoyance. We are running a rather old version of cyrus (2.1.5) so if this has been fixed in a later version that's fine; I checked the release notes and couldn't find an explicit fix for notifyd.

And you can setup an ordinary LINUX box as an iSCSI target. http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net/ http://www.cuddletech.com/articles/iscsi/index.html http://www.cs.uml.edu/~mbrown/iSCSI/ Of course I really don't understand an attitude of I-really-need-HA but an unwillingness to buy real SAN hardware. Real SANs are rigorously tested and optimized to do exactly what they do more so than what you will be able to accomplish with an ordinary host box. "What is better, reliable and more tested?" A real SAN. On the software side GFS is widely used, maybe not for Cyrus, but it is stable.

Folders containing messages and subfolders
Hi, Does Cyrus IMAP support the ability to have folders that may contain both messages and subfolders? The tdlp.org 'MS Outlook to Unix Mailbox Conversion' MINI-HOWTO suggests that no Linux IMAP server using the Mailbox format supports this feature.

Cyrus HA & LB cluster summary
Hi, the Cyrus (HA and LB) Cluster question seems to popup very often the last months. With this post I try to summarize the info of the posts of the following threads: - Cyrus IMAP and MySQL mailboxes (Building load-balancing cluster) - NFSv4, anyone? - Cyrus, clusters, GFS - HA yet again - High availability email server. - Cyrus & Lustre I found some older threads which might be of intresst, but not upto date anymore: - Cyrus 2.3 on shared filesystems - Playing with replicated murder - Using a SAN/GPFS with cyrus - high-availability again - Two Cyrus servers - Cyrus, NFS and mail spools - multiple cyruses via SAN - Cyrus/NFS/SMB - No NFS? Ok, how about GFS/GPFS If some points are incorrect please feel free to correct them. These are the setups for Cyrus in a HA and/or LB Cluster - DNS / Perdition load balancing The users are split on several Cyrus server and DNS or Perdition is used to direct the user to the correct server. This setup is only a static LB cluster and it is not possible to share mailboxes between users on different servers. But this setup is very easy and there are no problems because there are no shared filesystems. In case one server crashes the some of the users will have no access to the mails. Mails may be lost depending on the kind of crash, the storage and the backup. - Murder setup In this setup the users are split on several backends that are connected via frontendservers. This setup allows shared folders between users on different backends. This is like the DNS / Perdition setup only a LB cluster, but users can be moved easy from one backendserver to another. In case of crash this setup does not differ from the setup above. - Replication Replication can be add to the two setups above. But you need either additional servers or you have to take care to set up replication server and client on one Cyrus server/backend. Replication is only in Cyrus 2.3.x and this setup needs manual intervention i case of failure. In this case the MUPDATE master / DNS / Perdition has to be set to point to the new server. With scripts it should be possible to do this automatical. The replication is asynchron so you might lose some mails. - Shared filesystem Active/Passive This setup can add HA to a normal Cyrus server by storing the Mails and databases on a shared filesystem and monitoring the server with heartbeat. This setup should work with every shared filesystem and there should be no problems with bdb - Shared filesystem Active/Active In this setup all users are on all server. The mailboxes and databases are on a shared filesystem so that changes on one server are visible on all other servers. Cyrus depends on the file-locking of the filesystem. NFSv4, GFS, Lustre, and some other shared filesystem affirm that they have file-locking across cluster nodes. The sockets, lock- and pid-files have to stay on a local filesystem or have to be made unique across cluster nodes. BDB seems to have problems in this setup, because the changes of the lock in the mmaped files are not instantly on all clients/nodes and the use of shared memory. You have to compile Cyrus without bdb-support to get rid of the errors. This setup needs no extra servers, and all use the same configuration. In case of server crash the user use one of the other servers. The server can be replaced with an clone of one of the other servers. The storage should be too on a HA cluster to make the whole mailsystem ha. The Active/Active Shared filesystem setup is discussed controvers. This setup is not widely used and therefor not tested that mutch. But Dave McMurtrie and Scott Adkins have reported of sucsessfull installations The following shared Filesystems seem support the file-locking GFShttp://sources.redhat.com/cluster/gfs/ Lustre http://www.lustre.org/ NFSv4 http://www.nfsv4.org/ Polyserve CFS http://www.polyserve.com Veritas CFS http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/products/overview.jsp?pcid=1020&pvid=209_1 M.Menge Tel.: (49) 7071/29-70316 Universitaet Tuebingen Fax.: (49) 7071/29-5912 Zentrum fuer Datenverarbeitung mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Waechterstrasse 76 72074 Tuebingen smime.p7s Description: S/MIME krytographische Unterschrift Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

cyrus and global filtering
Dear list, I run cyrus 2.1.18 and postfix 2.1.5 on a linux debian box, 2.6.8 kernel. I use cyrdeliver as a delivery agent for postfix, procmail is not involved. I am wondering whther it is possible to use global filtering scripts with cyrus, similar to /etc/procmailrc. The reason I ask - maybe there are other ways to do this - is that I would like to filter mails tagged as spam by spamassassin into a user's "spam" folder, with a minimum of maintenance (e.g. I'd like to automatically create the folder and subscribe the user to it). I have been told and read on the web that sieve scripts only work on a per-user basis. My users use the squirrelmail "avelsieve" plugin to modify filtering rules. I have considered solving the problem using "plus addressing", e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but so far I have not been successful. Any help?

I have been told and read on the web that sieve scripts only work on a per-user basis. My users use the squirrelmail "avelsieve" plugin to modify filtering rules. I have considered solving the problem using "plus addressing", e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but so far I have not been successful. Any help? You need an "anyone p" ACL on the spam folder so that mail can be delivered to it. I have a patch for 2.3.7 that makes use of the auto create folders options to automatically add that ACL to to auto create folders that you specify. Of course you have to create and add for existing users but new users should be fine. If you want it let me know and I will send it to you. I have been meaning to clean it up and publish it, however I found a few bugs with another part of the code that I want to send in at the same time. -- Andre Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
