Hmm, this is a Script from FC/RH. I don't know what it does, when it

The FC Start/Stop scripts do as follow (only importent parts of the

Hmm, this is english and the check

cvt_cyrusdb_all is not a Cyrus-Imapd Command. I would guess, this is a
RH/FC Extension. Check what it does. It seems to fail.
You're right. The head of the file:
# This script converts all db files of a cyrus installation from their
# existing format to the format required by the current installation.
# The format of current db files is determined using the 'file' command
# with a magic file added for skiplist db, the new format is read from
# a config file usually in /usr/share/cyrus-imapd/rpm/db.cfg, which is
# created while compiling. After converting, the db.cfg file is
# copied to a cache file usually at /var/lib/imap/rpm/db.cfg.cache to
# allow bypassing this converting script if both files are identical.
# While this is a bit less secure, it may be useful on big server where
# db converting is done automatically.
#
# This script can safely be run as root, it will reexec itself as user
# cyrus if needed.

I could not imagine, why FC6 runs the script on every start up/shut down
cycle. Strange.
The reason behind it is very simple, if you do a system upgrade and
suddenly have another BDB version on your box, or you move the mailstore
from an older cyrus-imapd server to a newer one, you'll have the BDB-fun
discussed on this list very frequently (it's not only with cyrus-imapd,
just ask those openldap or subversion users...). Now, the Invoca rpm
package solved this by bringing the cyrus-imapd messagestore to a portable
state whenever it's not running - and by switching all berkeley databases
to skiplist by default, those problems are gone for most users anyway.
Another benefit is that you can stop cyrus-imapd, change the database
configurations and start it up again. All will convert automagically.
However, you are not using the Invoca rpm so I don't know exactly how it
works in your situation (the packages shipped by RedHat/Fedora are based
on older and modified versions of the Invoca rpm).

.forward and newest cyrus macro
Hi, This question may have been asked in the past, but I haven't been able to find it in the archives. I have a new installation of Cyrus (V2.2.12) on a Solaris 10 box running Sendmail 8.13. The problem I have is that .forward files in users' accounts are not being honoured. The sendmail.mc file uses as was recommended to us the cyrusv2 macro (we previously used the original cyrus macro on our old systems which honored .forward fine). The relevant lines are: define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2') define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG', `$j; $b')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=2525, Name=MTA')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MSA')dnl MAILER(`cyrusv2') MAILER(`local')dnl MAILER(`smtp')dnl I read somewhere that you need to set some mailer flags to enable .forward support, but have tried a number of permutations without success.

Apple and their new Mail Clustering in Leopard 10.5
I haven't seen any discussion on Apple's new mail clustering that they are putting into OSX Leopard server 10.5. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything on how it worked? I've actually had the opportunity to play with it. I set up my xsan, I set up the two mail servers. It has the ability to turn clustering on and then it creates a single directory that both servers access on the xsan. Under this director is a common shared imapd.conf, cyrus.conf, and an empty database directory where I'm guessing the future database will go that the two servers share. Anyways, I was wondering if apple has introduced true round robin syncing and if they have a multiple simultaneous access database? During our initial testing it was found that it seemed like if you updated the system on one side, it would sync the changes to the other system in a few seconds. It appeared to go both ways, which is very exciting. However, by setting both systems up to use the same database, we were getting database corruption, so I don't think that is resolved yet. Although it took hours instead of seconds to corrupt the database. I'm guessing they would have to probably change the database from Berkley to something that can support multiple accesses? Thanks!

Otherwise subscriptions wouldn't make any sense. You should be able to see all your folders, subscribed or not ( maybe you just need to change view filter in your MUA subscription manager ). Anyway - migrating subscriptions is another thing sucessful migration should take care of. To avoid numerous complaints about missing folders it's safer to subscribe user to all his folders than waiting for all the users subscribing themselves back to the ones they want within next months :) If you're in a middle of a big after migration f*ckup i suggest you to pick flatfile format for your subscriptions ( subscription_db: flat option in imapd.conf ) and regenerate subscription files for all the users Example: user: test subscription file: /var/imap/user/t/test.sub subscription file content: user.test.folder1 user.test.folder2 user.test.list user.test.list.cyrus user.test.list.fbsd-ports user.test.monitoring user.test.monitoring.nagios user.test.monitoring.netcool NOTE: don't forget extra tab (\t) before the end of the each line.

So far, the only tool I've found is imapsync: http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync/ Seems to be working fine. It's recursive, it's smart (subsequent runs don't download the old messages again, only the new messages), the command-line switches are a rich set that's pretty much self-explanatory. It's easy to do non-destructive tests. It's flexible enough. Downside: If you have very large messages on the source IMAP servers, you better run the script on a machine with lots of RAM. On my system it died repeatedly with out of memory when it was hitting a 32MB message (on-disk size), and the system has 1GB RAM. It's probably best to run it on a 3rd system, one that's separate from both the source and the destination IMAP servers, otherwise unpleasant things might happen if the script starts to gobble up RAM on the IMAP server. Again, this 3rd system is best if it has lots of RAM if you allow large messages on your source IMAP server. My apologies for this being off topic but I was hoping someone might be able to comment. I have 2 users left on an OLD Cyrus installation I want to get off and was hoping to use imapsync. It seemed to work just fine except dates of the messages from the old server to the new were not retained. All of the messages have the date they were imported instead. I ran imapsync on the destination host, I wouldn't think that would make a difference - does it matter? /usr/bin/imapsync --syncinternaldates --host1 source.host --user1 bob \ --noauthmd5 --passfile1 /tmp/secret1 --host2 destination.host --user2 bob \ --noauthmd5 --passfile2 /tmp/secret2 Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Jim 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

why does salspasswd2 always append a realm?
Hello, I would like to insert an admin-user without a domain/realm into an sasldb2. But saslpasswd2 always appends the hostname to the userid I provide. Example: echo test | saslpasswd2 -c admin sasldblistusers2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: userPassword How can I avoid this? I have virtdomains: userid in my /etc/imapd.conf, but I need an admin-user without realm so that I manage all accounts with it, not just accounts within the same realm.

ldap lookup with different search_base's?
Hello, for common email users, I have a path like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED],ou=users,dc=mailservices so the search base is ou=users,dc=mailservices. Using this, authentication works fine. But I would like to include the admin user into the ldap lookup as well. How can I manage this? I planned to have the admin user at cn=admin,dc=mailservices. How do I manage that saslauthd checks in both paths? What do I have to enter at admins in /etc/imapd.conf? Does anyone have a similar setup and can provide some config files or examples?

Hmm, you can use ldapdb. Then you can specify multiple authz-regexp In slapd.conf. Seperate them somehow in the Matching-Pattern. I havn't tested this, but I think it's a try worth. -- Andreas 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
Re: why does salspasswd2 always append a realm?
Hello, Use a defaultdomain (man imapd.conf). that doesn't solve the problem. As soon as an admin-user contains a realm (e.g. not just admin but [EMAIL PROTECTED]) this admin-user can only manage accounts for mydomain.com. But I need an admin-user that can create and manage users for arbitrary domains/realms on a virtual domain environment. So I really need to login without a realm.

You need a login where the realm matches the hostname of the machine, which will solve the problem for you.

Will that allow me to migrate mailboxes at my convenience? How do I prevent a port conflict between the IMAP server and the proxy on the old server? You'll have to run the frontend + mupdate master on a separate machine. Unfortunately, all the clients know the IP address of the old server, so the frontend has to run there. Of course, the old IMAP server has to run there too. Is there not a way to have the old IMAP server listen on different ports, so that only the frontend connects to it? If not, could it listen on a secondary IP address only? -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking- 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

Thanks for enlightening me :). Is this possible to be added in documentation. If I can add here because it's more about virtual users. I still don't understand is how can I create global admin user.
