Re: extremely poor performance with many maiboxes for 'list "" *'
I manage a single-instance server running v2.2.12 with a reasonably large number of mailboxes, using "mboxlist_db: flat": Why are you using "flat"? The flat db implementation is pretty basic/kludgy and not designed for large database files. I bet it's doing something stupid like re-reading the file from scratch for each record or something like that (I've seen it try to rewrite a file on every record when coverting from skiplist -> flat) Convert it to a skiplist and use that instead, much, much better performance with up to millions of mailboxes. http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/WhatDatabaseBackend Rob 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 2.3.x and thunderbird 2.x delete issue
Hi! I had troubles with cyrus 2.3.x and thunderbird 2.x. Thunderbird checks the ACLs now and issues a "myrights" and "getacl" command. Since thunderbird only checks RFC 2086 flags it disables "DELETE" access since cyrus 2.3.x reports the compatibility flags only with "myrights" but not with "getacl". I think RFC 4314 requires both ... "When any of the "delete" member rights is set in a list of rights, the server MUST also include the "d" right when returning the list in a MYRIGHTS or ACL response." Sample response from cyrus for "MYRIGHTS"... . myrights INBOX * MYRIGHTS INBOX lrswipkxtecda ...

ktruss only shows a bunch of stat("/var/imap/mailboxes.db") calls being
made, presumably one for every record in the database. I've no idea why
this would be useful or necessary, but regardless this doesn't explain
the massive CPU usage.
"Top" and similar system monitors show all the CPU being burned at
user-level, not much at all by the kernel.
Profiling the code would be far more useful than strace/ktrace or
similar, though those may show a pattern recognizable enough to help
identify the wasteful code.
Also I would certainly hope that the matching processing done by the
"list" command could be _far_ more efficient with CPU cycles than a
regex match over the whole mailboxes.db line would be for the same
operation. The only difference should be in the parsing that would be
necessary to change a flat mailboxes.db record into some more
efficiently stored and compared internal representation. One thought
I've had is that perhaps the whole mailboxes.db file is being re-parsed
for every record, instead of reading it all in just once and caching the
result before beginning any matching.

extremely poor performance with many maiboxes for 'list "" *'
I manage a single-instance server running v2.2.12 with a reasonably
large number of mailboxes, using "mboxlist_db: flat":
# wc -l /var/imap/mailboxes.db
40190 /var/imap/mailboxes.db
On the hardware it runs on a grep through the mailboxes file using a
non-trivial RE to match the user and ACL (in a manner I suspect is
similar to 'list "" *') will complete in less than a second of CPU time.
However imapd takes well over two minutes of CPU time to do the same
thing -- an unbelievable, impossibly, long time for what should be a
very trivial operation on so few records, relatively speaking. I would
have expected that hardware to be able to process several tens of
millions of records in two minutes of CPU time. I.e. whatever is being
done is being done with three or four orders of magnitude too many
instructions per record! This is a "flat" DB, but still!
Unfortunately some clients, despite the advice of RFC 2683 Section
3.2.1.1, e.g. pine, frequently do things like this (or seem to),
sometimes putting extraordinarily excessive load on the system when
several do so at the same time (it's only a 4-CPU system :-)).

Re: how to create MX record in remote server ?
Acording to namesevers for dedicated.hosteurope.de is there no MX. You can't tell dedicated who is MX, you must get that information to dns.hosteurope.de Send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and request creation of MX record pointing to your server. # host -t soa dedicated.hosteurope.de dedicated.hosteurope.de > SOA dns.hosteurope.de. hostmaster.hosteurope.de. 2007041602 10800 3600 360 3600 # host -a dedicated.hosteurope.de Trying "dedicated.hosteurope.de" ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19701 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;dedicated.hosteurope.de.
