question about sieve discard
A friend of mine had these rules (cyrus-imapd-2.2.12):
--8---
if
elsif
elsif header :contains From [EMAIL PROTECTED] {
discard;
}
if ...
(script continues)
--8---
Note how the if/elsif structure is broken and a new if statement begins
later on. That was a copypaste error (the second if should have been
elsif to continue the case-like structure).
The interesting thing is that a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
survived the discard. Is that because there should be a stop; after
the discard action? It matched some other rule down the road in the
second if structure.

Re: Sieve
Quoting Forrest Aldrich [EMAIL PROTECTED]: By and large there are far more examples and documentation of procmail out there than there are for Sieve. Procmail exists in books, online manuals and texts, etc. This is the point I was getting at (substance). One has to note, however, that procmail is many many times more complex than sieve from a user point of view. There's a lot of promise with Sieve, but I wonder with the apparent lack of documentation, etc., if it will remain only utilized by those who are able to discern the code to get it working, etc. My technical users understand the sieve language right away, specially after some examples I give them (which is tipically my sieve script, which has dozens of mailing list filters). The other users (not technically inclined) do fine with a web interface for sieve (Ingo, from the Horde project, integrates nicely into the Imp webmail). I agree that some simple examples in the webpage would help beginners a lot, specially after they realize sieve scripts are quite simple to write. --- 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

ACLs for black hole folder?
I'm trying to set up two spam related folders: one called spam and the other called nospam. Both are shared folders and the intention is that users put there mail that was incorrectly marked as spam or ham. The nospam folder in particular whould have to be a black hole: users can put messages there but not read them back or list them, because these are potentially private messages and are not spam. For now I used these ACLs: lip. Seems to work: users can post and insert new messages there, but not see them. The problem is that some mail clients (kmail and evolution so far) popup a big fat warning about not being able to read that folder, and this happens every time the user checks for new mail. It's annoying. Is there another ACLs that could be used that would prevent this from happening?

The only BDBs I use are duplicate_db and tlscache_db, so I could
simply delete $configdirectory/{deliver.db,tls_sessions.db,db/*}

deleting the DBs?
You would have to get rid of the transaction log files. Probably by
checkpointing.
According to the BDB docs, the log file format has changed.

Re: how to update BDB

The openldap developers prefer to have the admin change it. I guess subversion will also get hit by this one if DB_CONFIG is not optimal for your dataset. Not necessarily, it may set some parameters itself. Our DB_CONFIG file, though, was shipped with subversion at least.

Commit and checkout times are good. the very latest 4.2 fixes this. I *do* know the others didn't, since I've experienced the crashes myself. BDB 4.x is a complex piece of software, and it shows. It is complex indeed. I like to say it has many buttons to turn or press. It's heavily used by openldap and subversion. We, for example, have a And at least with openldap, it causes a lot of trouble. Without a properly tuned DB_CONFIG file, I agree.
