understanding a 2.4 db directory?

[Carl Brewer]

G'day,

I have an old 2.4.17 installation, and am planning to bump it up to 3.0 
soon-ish. It's on an older NetBSD system running from a pkgsrc install.


As part of this, I am trying to understand the old directory structure, 
and in particular, the contents of the old conf directory, which in 2.4 
has a couple of directories called db, db.backup1 and db.backup2


db is pretty big :

du -sh db*
11G db
94K db.backup1
94K db.backup2


db is full if log.0xxx files, and a "skipstamp" file

The log.... files are all Berkeley DB, which is why I am concerned 
about an in-place upgrade to 3.0.


bash-4.3# file log.001340
log.001340: Berkeley DB (Log, version 16, native byte-order)

bash-4.3# file skipstamp
skipstamp: data

Can anyone tell me what they are?  As well as being Berkeley DB, can 
they be cleaned up/deleted? 11GB of "I don't know what this is?" isn't 
doing me any favours.  The doco here :

http://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/locations/configuration-state.html
doesn't seem to help much for this version of imapd.

Pointers to relevant doco much appreciated!
Thank you,
Carl

It fits because your Cyrus is configured to use BerkleyDB for some 9or
all) of the databases.

You should not have to stop Cyrus. Running this command (with proper -h
location) should show you what log files are no longer used:

db_archive -h /var/imap/db


And this command should get rid of them:

db_archive -d -h /var/imap/db


Thank you!  On my NetBSD 5 box this is db4_archive, as it's got db4 
installed.

How does that fit in with Cyrus?  Do I need to stop imapd before I use
db_archive?

thank you!

tidy up/remove imap/db/log.* files?

[Carl Brewer]

G'day,
I have a NetBSD box with a very full /var/imap/db directory.  It's full 
of these :
-rw---   1 cyrus  mail  10485760 Sep  3 08:45 log.000779


file log.000779
log.000779: Berkeley DB (Log, version 16, native byte-order)

There's 534 of them.  Roughly one a day.

What's the recommended way to tidy them up and/or get rid of them?
Cyrus imapd 2.4.17 (from NetBSD pkgsrc)

Thanks!

cyrus imapd, lmtp, postfix and case sensitivity bouncing emails

[Carl Brewer]

G'day,
I have a NetBSD (pkgsrc) box that I'm moving email from an old sendmail 
setup over to, using cyrus imapd and the new box is using postfix (from 
pkgsrc, v2.11.3).

A weird problem, it's bouncing emails if the domain name is uppercase. 
I have set
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: 1
but it doesn't seem to have helped.

my imapd.conf file is :


configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
sieveusehomedir: true
hashimapspool: false
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
altnamespace: yes
unixhierarchysep: yes
virtdomains: userid
defaultdomain: bl.echidna.id.au
allowplaintext: yes
admins: cyrus
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
tls_cert_file: /var/imap/server.pem
tls_key_file: /var/imap/server.pem
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: 1


and postfix's main.cf :

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp

Relevant versions of everything :

cyrus-sasl-2.1.26nb3 Simple Authentication and Security Layer
cyrus-imapd-2.4.17nb6 Cyrus IMAP server
cyrus-saslauthd-2.1.26nb2 Cyrus SASL plaintext authentication daemon
postfix-2.11.3  Postfix SMTP server and tools


here's an example log :

Feb 13 08:26:44  postfix/smtpd[4578]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 
unknown[175.107.182.124]: 450 4.1.1 c...@aboc.com.au: Recipient

rollcage3.bl.echidna.id.au[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox

you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in 
reply to RCPT TO command); from=c...@svr4.aboc.net.au 
to=c...@aboc.com.au proto=ESMTP helo=svr4.aboc.net.au

It's fine with lowercase domain names though ...

Feb 13 08:36:33  postfix/lmtp[8436]: CBA4A1B3D4A3: 
to=c...@aboc.com.au,

delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=2.1.5, status=deliverable (250 2.1.5 ok)


Any ideas?

Thank you

Carl

in place upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4?

[Carl Brewer]

G'day,
I'm running Cyrus imapd on NetBSD (pkgsrc), my current version is 
2.2.13, and I figure it's about time to bump it to 2.4 (.7 ATM).   Via 
pkgsrc I can build it, but am a bit reluctant to do a make update, does 
anyone have any experience with doing this in place on a current site? 
Will it 'just work' if I shut down the 2.2 processes, update cyrus and 
restart the daemons or will weird things happen?  any doco on how to do 
this?

Thanks!

 As a maintainer of pkgsrc/cyrus-imapd{23,24}, pkgsrc have no patches
 other than build fixes, so /usr/pkg/share/doc/cyrus-imapd/install-upgrade.html
 will help you.

 It is important reminder that pkgsrc have nothing to do migration of 
 configuration
 files unless you have no customization.  If so, you need to migrate by hand.

 For me (NetBSD/i386), with step-by-step update, I cannot remember what I did
 something special.  As you wrote, just stop, update package, start new cyrus.

so far so good, I haven't had to untar my backups :)

Some broken cyrus. files may be hanging new versions of thunderbird 3.0.x

[Carl Brewer]

G'day,
I'm running into a problem with Thunderbird 3 (3.0.3, but I got it with 
3.0 as well) with an account hosted on a Cyrus IMAP server running cyrus 
2.2.13 on NetBSD from NetBSD's pkgsrc system.

The symptom is that Thunderbird hangs forever saying looking for 
folders.  The cause is, I suspect, some brain damage in Thunderbird 3 
that chokes on some IMAP error messages.  I have 4 IMAP accounts running 
from the same server and the other three are ok, and the one that fails 
works ok with Squirrelmail and also older Thunderbird 2.0.x releases. 
So the other MUA's cope with whatever Cyrus is telling them, but T3 
hangs forever, I think it's trying to be too clever with indexing, but I 
can't be sure.

I've tried to use reconstruct to rebuild the account in Cyrus as one of 
the email sub folders was broken, but I can't find the 'right way' to 
reconstruct the cyrus. files in an account.  reconstruct -r doesn't 
rebuild them as far as I can tell.  Can anyone here advise me as to the 
best way to fix up a possibly slightly corrupt cyrus user directory tree 
with cyrus. files that are broken and/or missing?

Thankyou

Carl

There are several imapcopy tools around which you can use to copy messages
vi a the IMAP protocol. However one requirement is that both servers are
up and running at the same time.


I can do that, and I guess I can do that with a good (Thunderbird) MUA.

Thanks for the suggestion, it's so obvious I should have guessed it!



It also may depend on how much data you have to transfer and how many
users are affected.


It's only one user, so it's easy ...

available in sendmail.cf. Cyrus-IMAP uses such replies to signalize 
over quota situation. It is sendmail fault/deficiency but it may be 
easier (faster) to fix in cyrus-imap (smmapd.c).


So far smampd ignores map name provided in the queries. It may generate 
different format of replies based on map name


e.g.
map=cyrus   key=xxx = already existing format
map=cyrusv3 key=xxx =
   NOMATCH  : mailbox does not exist
   OK:xxx : mailbox exists and it is ready to accept message
   ERROR:D.S.N:4???/5?? text - mailbox exist but unavailable
   (e.g. over quota)

B) it would simplify sendmail configuration if cyrus-imap could provide 
list of all configured virtual domains and default domain


Yes, that would be pretty good!  I have a few sites with
3-5 virtual domains, and I have to maintain them in far
too many files.

What would also be good would be a way to map one-to-many
addresses in cyrus with virtual domains, rather than
having to map them to an /etc/aliases entry that then
expands them out (which is a really clunky hack).  I
don't think that's necessarily relevant to your work
though.  Just a wishlist item :)  Postfixes' virtual
file does this sensibly, sendmail's virtusertable
is too limiting.


P.S. Only A is necessary before making it official but I am sufferer 
of over optimalization syndrome :-)

integrating sendmail and cyrus realtime - supported with sendmail without Andrzej's patched cyrus m4 files?

[Carl Brewer]

I'm just wondering if anyone on this list knows if there's any
official support for cyrus realtime integration into sendmail?
I've been using Andrzej's patched cyrusv2.m4 files for some time
and they work well, are they going to get rolled into
sendmail proper at some point?  Has that already happened
and I just haven't noticed?!

thanks!

OT: migrating exchange mailboxes to cyrus?

[Carl Brewer]

My applogies for the off topic question, but I figure that here is
likely to be a huge pool of experience with what I'm trying to do.
I'm migrating a small business away from exchange to a cyrus imapd
mail server (one for the good guys!).  There's only one mail
account, but it's got thousands of archived emails sitting on
the exchange server - so many that I tried to import them into
Mozilla Thunderbird with the import tool, and after letting it run
for 12 hours, it had hardly moved the progress bar.  I think the PC
hasn't enough grunt to do it.  It's an old win98 box with abuot 64 MB
or so of RAM.
Can anyone here suggest another way to extract this email from the
exchange server onto my new NetBSD cyrus server, so my user can
get at his old email?
thanks!
Carl

The @rollcage2.bl.echidna.id.au is how I've got around virtusertable
being a 1:1 mapping, I hide the expanding aliases in /etc/mail/aliases
for the local server (rollcage2), which then expands them, as normal
local aliases.  It's messy, but virtusertables can't do 1:many mappings,

mailertable looks like this :
bl.echidna.id.aucyrusv2d:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
and so on for each domain
FWIW, the virthosts file I found difficult to track down in
any doco.

Hello,
Before I knock my own up, has anyone here got a recommendation
for a simple SASL password changing CGI web page that I can
integrate into a cyrus 2.2.6 server environment (on NetBSD)

I know there's a few of these about, what seems to be the
simplest (I'm not proving webmail or anything else complex)
and most secure?

Thanks for responding.  I did end up making that change, however I had 
complicated things by adding the domain to the local-host-names file to 
get rid of another error, which was obviously a no-no.  I was getting 
some relaying_denied errors until adding:

To:domain.tld RELAY
to access db
I'm afraid to do
domain.tld   RELAY
as I have a hunch that puts me at risk for being a spam relay.  If 
someone has better advice on that, please inform.
That's where the virtuserdomain file helps.  I have my virtual domains
listed in that and in access :
To:my.domainRELAY
The to directive is pretty handy :)


Thanks for the help,
Chris

Re: sendmail and virtual domains and catchalls?

[Carl Brewer]

Hello Andrzej,


I have uploaded new modified FEATURE(`mrs_cyrus')
http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/rtcyrus2.html
RTCyrus2 uses socket map to ask cyrus smmapd daemon if given mailbox is 
serviced by cyrus. RTCyrus2 requires cyrus 2.2.3 and patched 
sendmail-8.12 (to get socketmap support). Socket map support is 
available in unpatched sendmail-8.13.0.Alpha0.
I'm not familiar enough with the NetBSD ports to deal with
patching sendmail, or rolling my own port for 8.13 alpha, so
I'm going to have to wait until someone more clueful does
an 8.13 port to use your mrs stuff.
In the mean time, I can survive without a catchall, but I do
need to be able to have aliases for accounts in my
virtual domains.  eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
aliases seem to only work for 'local' delivery, not delivery
to cyrus mailboxes?  I figure that the virtusertable is the best
(only?) place that this can happen?


Do not forget to add the domains to $={VirtHost}. *.mc file:
LOCAL_CONFIG
C{VirtHost}foo.com.au bl.echidna.id.au
I've done this and it works!  I've never seen VirtHost in any
documentation though?  Is this new to 8.12?

My aliases file :

postmaster: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
root:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
carl:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
local-host-names :
rollcage2.bl.echidna.id.au
The relevant bits of imapd.conf :

unixhierarchysep: yes
virtdomains: userid
defaultdomain: bl.echidna.id.au
Everything works, except the virtusertables.  Ie: I can send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and it works fine, the aliases entries send local
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] as per the aliases
file.
I couldn't find anything on your site that seemed to offer the
same functionality as virtusertables.  Googling around seems to
suggest that sendmail does mailertables first, and doesn't look
at the virtusertables with the above setup.  I don't know if I
completely understood your localtable setup, but it appeared to
me to be more of an aliases workalike than a virtusertable workalike,
and I wasn't sure if it worked with or clashed with virtual hosting?
The only other info I've been able to find is someone else
trying to do the same thing as me (I think!) :
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg36862.html

So ... I *think* what I need to be able to do is get
sendmail to run the virtusertable, then the mailertable (and
thus pass the mail to cyrusv2d via the mailertable).  Is
this possible?  Does cyrus imapd offer any form of aliasing
within itself instead of using a virtusertable through sendmail?
Thanks again for your time!

Hello,

I'm setting up Cyrus-imapd 2.2.3 on a NetBSD 1.6.2
server, and am finding some odd behaviour.  This is
bound to be something I'm doing wrong!
I've got sendmail working, inbound mail comes in
just fine, but my imaps clients (I've tried
thunderbird 0.5 and outlook something) don't
seem to be able to move mail messages into the
Trash folder.  Outlook shows 'deleted' messages in
Inbox with a line through them, thunderbird doesn't show
them at all, and the mail files still exist in

I've used Thunderbird to delete them all (1-9) but
they don't go away.  Copies end up in Trash, and empty
Trash empties the Trash directory, but the files are
staying in the top level dir.

cyradm --user cyrus localhost

# server to repond to IMAPS or POP3S requests.  See imapd.conf(5) for
# a complete listing of tls_* options.
#
tls_cert_file: /var/imap/server.pem
tls_key_file: /var/imap/server.pem


All the folder permissions seem ok, I followed the instructions on
the Install notes faithfully.
thanks for any help anyone can provide!
