Re: Problems with 2.2.10 on HPUX 11i

I accept any and all suggestions, although
I've just been told to GO BACK, YOUNG WOMAN! So, I'll be reverting to 2.0.16
tonight. But the top processes are imapd and lmtpd (there are LOTS of lmtps,
like 50 or more, and 1500+ imaps)

Hi Connie,
I know this falls in the obvious category and you probably already checked
this, but what log level are you using? (/etc/syslog.conf) At
debug, we have found that at our moderate load (300 simultaneous users) on
linux, the CPU usage of syslogd is very high.
What does top or (glance if you have it) show as the processes using the
CPU?
Hope this helps, John

It sounds like it cannot find the mailbox where it wants to--in the

Re: Outlook Express/Message No Longer Available
I agree, that you cannot tell your customers which clients to use! They are usually set in their ways... Can you not put a document on your web site that tells the customers these instructions? I know that customers are usually not able to read ;-), but it is worth a try! We've put it in our knowledge base, here. c* - Original Message - From: David Hearn Cc: Cyrus Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 4:49 PM Subject: Re: Outlook Express/Message No Longer Available Thanks - I already knew that, and also you can drag the message to another folder, move it back again and then purge it from both folders and it'll be okay again. Must better than re-downloading a whole inbox again (300MB for me). Also, this only happens when you have Headers Only synchronisation. Anyway - with a company of 40 users, I don't want to have to keep manning the phones when they call up to sort this out... ;) thankfully most use POP3 - but I'd hate to think what might happen when the userbase gets into the 100's or 1,000's. And don't say "Use a non-broken IMAP client" - I can't force clients onto people sadly. Thanks though for your time.

Re: Can't delete a mailbox
Cyrus does not automatically have delete permission, you must add it with a sam command before you may delete a mailbox. c* - Original Message - From: "Gregory Chagnon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 9:39 AM Subject: Can't delete a mailbox > Hi- > I'm having a problem deleting a Cyrus mailbox.

Re: Problem with cyrus and deleting a message with a virus.
We run Interscan VirusWall--it only deleted the infected attachment, and leaves the message intact (with a note inside telling the user that the attachment was deleted). This makes for some confusion (the user still wants the attachment, thinking it is real mail, and not just a virus. That seems to be a hard concept), but leaves cyrus unaffected. Are there any viruses that infect the whole message? I cannot think of any, maybe you can modify the uvscan program to just delete the attachment, instead of the whole message? c* - Original Message - From: "Mark London" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 3:07 PM Subject: Problem with cyrus and deleting a message with a virus. > Hi - We are running uvscan, and it will delete a cyrus message file that > contains a virus.

Re: Slow LIST command
I got skiplist to work temporarily on my HP-UX 11.0 development box by commenting out the code that searches through the entire mailboxes.db file for the user you are trying to delete (having permissions on someone else's mailbox, that is). Then, the little testing I did worked great. In our school, very few people use Mulberry, which is the only client I know of that will allow you to give someone else permission to your mailbox, so taking care of the lurking permissions by hand with cyradm is much quicker and more efficient! c* - Original Message - From: "Mika Iisakkila" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 12:54 PM Subject: Re: Slow LIST command > Rob Siemborski wrote: > [skiplist] > > No, it doesn't have a specific in-core cache, it relies on the filesystem > > cache alone (it mmap()s the db file and uses that directly). > > Can you tell offhand if it does any of the mmap() stuff that's a no-no > on HP-UX platform (eg. same process mapping two overlapping areas, or accessing > the files directly while something is mmapped)? > > I had to stay with Berkeley on HP-UX since skiplist became unusably slow > with map_nommap.

Re: mmap() on HP-UX 11
11i still does not support it correctly. I've just upgraded to 11i on a dedicated rp7400 (our mail has loaded our V2600 so much, it cannot support all of the users anymore), and HP hemmed and hawed, and finally said they MAY look into it in 11.2. (We threatened to stop using HP altogether if they couldn't support our e-mail server loads). I've always had to use flatfile for the mailboxed.db with HP--Berkeley could never keep up with the load, I have about 121000 mailboxes, but when I started administering Cyrus on the V-box ~1/01, we had around 8 and it was on flatfile then, too. We tried upgrading to a cyrus that supported skiplist, but had some other problems, and had to revert to flat files. So, the bottom answer is, no, 11i still does not support cyrus' mmap. c* - Original Message - From: "Mika Iisakkila" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 10:27 AM Subject: mmap() on HP-UX 11 > Does anyone know what the current status on using mmap() on HP-UX is? > Cyrus documentation only mentions HP-UX 9 and 10 as not working (probably > because that chapter is just old) but I think 11.11 is supposed to be > greatly improved in this area. > > Cyrus 2.0.16 has been running just fine with no_mmap, though; the > reason I'm asking is that I tried getting rid of BDB (a general > nuisance) during an 2.1 upgrade, but skiplist is unusably slow > without mmap().

Re: User account - permission denied
You have to have c permission to delete the user. So, do a sam first, like this: localhost> sam user.fcuell cyrus all where cyrus is your administrator. This gives user cyrus permission to do anything he/she wants to the mailbox. Then, localhost> dm user.fcuell should work fine. c* - Original Message - From: "Felix Cuello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 4:19 PM Subject: User account - permission denied > Hello, > >I'm actually migrating my old cyrus users from a cyrus 2.0.16 to a new > cyrus 2.1.9. > >I've created an account without any permissions... just > >$ cyradm --user cyrus localhost >localhost> cm user.fcuell >localhost> quit > >And then copy all contents of: > >/var/spool/imap/user/fcuell to /var/spool/imap/user/fcuell >/var/imap/quota/user.fcuell to /var/imap/quota/f/user.fcuell > >All works fine... except when I tried to delete this mailbox... and > here you hare the stdout :\ > > [root@sinclair /]# cyradm --user cyrus localhost > IMAP Password: > localhost> lm > user.fcuell (\HasNoChildren) > localhost> dm user.fcuell > deletemailbox: Permission denied > localhost> > > > > I tried to delete all folders that contains user.fcuell information, but > when I restart cyrus user.fcuell is still alive... > > What can I do? > > thanks a lot > > Felix > > > > >

Re: Problems with IMAPS and POPS
First of all, it looks like you did not update your cyrus.conf from a 2.0 version. That is the cause of the ctl_mboxlist vs ctl_cyrusdb error message in the log.
