Majordomo not working for large # of people
Hello all, I installed majordomo on the cyrus server just like any other majordomo installation. However, I notcied that if there are more than say 500 people on the list, postfix never finishes delivering the stuff to cyrus via lmtp. Basically it never gets to the end of the list of recipients. Just wondering if anyone had a similar problem. -Elmo

If found this on the internet, it might be of use to someone who compiles cyrus from source: Subject: Questions about ipurge(8) From: Nicholas Brealey <[PRIVACY PROTECTION]> Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 20:36:09 +0100 Hello I have been looking at ipurge(8) for deleting e-mail older than a certain number of days from users INBOXes. 1) The purge_me function ipurge.c contains the statement: /* DON'T purge INBOX* and user.* */ if ((strncasecmp(name,"INBOX",5)==0) || (strncasecmp(name,"user.",5)==0)) return 0; Since all mailbox names are likely to start with "user." doesn't this stop ipurge from ever doing anything useful? I deleted the statement and ipurge and I think it started doing what I wanted it to do, namely: ipurge -d 30 user.fred user.fred.Sent user.alice user.alice.Sent ... (Delete essages over 30 days old in fred and alice's INBOXes and Sent folders but keep messages which they have filed in other folders). 2) Is there any reason to use EVENTs in cyrus.conf instead of using crontab? crontab looks better beacuse I can say that I want messages purged at 3:00am on Sunday mornings but with EVENTs in Cyrus I can only say that they should be purged once a week and they may end up being purged and an inconvenient time.

I tried to run ipurge but it gives me an error, it doesn't recognise the -f
option.
[cyrus@manhattan bin]$ ./ipurge -f -d 30 user.exr003.*rash
./ipurge: invalid option -- f
usage: ./ipurge [-C ] [-x] {-d days &| -b bytes|-k Kbytes|-m
Mbytes} [mboxpattern1 ... [mboxpatternN]]
there are no defaults and at least one of -d, -b, -k, -m
must be specified
if no mboxpattern is given ./ipurge works on all mailboxes
-x specifies an exact match for days or size

I tried to use that tool, but it didn't work at all under mozilla, or netscape 6.x. And it was not using the php-library calls, I noticed it was using its own set of socket commands for administrating the server. I was going to modify it, but it was pretty hairy, so I just split off. I think it was done before the imap commands were in php. It would be nice to see it updated for php4! It's pretty sexy (feature wise) though, but not very extensible or modifyable (hairy codewise). -- Best Regards, E.M.

It works great! As part of our email server in-a-box, I wrote a web interface, rhsdadm edits, adds and deletes users from an ldap enabled cyrus imap process. See the attached file for our first release. If you need to have rhsdadm edit system level users (instead of ldap) you can go ahead and modify the code. Best Regards, E.M.

I have gotten all of these components to work fine on redhat 7.2 from source. Please note that if you have sasl kerberos installed it'll screwup the ldap authentication for some reason. Anyways, if you want to see how I get cyrus to work with ldap, check out http://www.rhsd.net One of the files you can download rhems-inst has the setup.sh script that I wrote to configure your box for cyrus/postfix/sieve with ldap authentication and a web front end (shameless plug here, hehe). But anyways, there's a setup.sh that goes through all of the steps (and configuration options) for installing cyrus imap with sasl -> pam -> ldap authentication. It's pretty straight forward.

LDAP Auth HOW-TO/Install Script
I am currently working on an install script and (at least) an article for binaryfreedom/system toolbox. This will cover Redhat 7.2, Cyrus 2.0.16, Postfix 1.1.3, with local OpenLDAP authentication. The script is already complete (for an alpha-test). It creates the default users directories and configuration files based on the questions you answer. IE: dc=example,dc=com and then configures all the services. If people like it a lot, I guess I can put it on sourceforge or something Basically, it replaces the dreadful SuSE Email Server III; which we have having a whole load of headaches and difficulties with from day one. I'll be working on the web interface etc. tomorrow. If anyone wants to check out the files you can download it from (11 Mb) http://polywog.philtered.net/~erecio/RedHat-EmailServer.tar.gz Or if you already have the postfix sources, and the cyrus-imapd sources, and have already patched your SASL/OpenLDAP sources, then just download the stripped down installation scripts. (52 kb) http://polywog.philtered.net/~erecio/RedHat-EmailServer-Scripts.tar.gz (expand the cyrus/postfix sources 2.0.16 and 1.1.3 ONLY into the directory created by the tarball.) I have only tested the above with a fresh install of RedHat 7.2 (it may or may not work with other distributions). Otherwise, check out the attached shell script file. Best Regards, E. M.

There was a posting to the openldap group about Cyrus-SASL having a re-entry patch applied.

Both of those are in there. I can login via PAM just fine into the box ssh, etc, (pam is pointed at an LDAP). It's the basic install of SASL for radhat 7.2 rpm.

PAM + Cyrus
Is there a 'special' configuration option I have to give cyrus (when compiling) so that it looks at PAM for authentication? I tried the following (On RH7.2): ./configure --with-sasl=/usr/lib/sasl --with-cyrus-user=cyrus --with-cyrus-group=mail --without-krb=/usr/kerberos --with-auth=unix --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl I pointed the machine (pam) to use the ldap for authentication. This works fine for logging in to the machine (ie: telnet ssh etc.) but when I try to login via cyradm (cyradm -u cyrus localhost) it doesn't work. My imapd.conf has 'sasl_pwcheck_method: pam' but no luck authenticating under PAM. In /etc/pam.d/imap I have: #%PAM-1.0 authsufficient pam_ldap.so authrequiredpam_unix.so account sufficient pam_ldap.so account requiredpam_unix.so and I've even tried copying the /etc/pam.d/ssh to /etc/pam.d/imap (figuring that if I can ssh via PAM, then I would be able to do IMAP via pam) but no luck there either. Any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Elmo Recio Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1

what is the password which is used for cyrus authentication using cyradm. I have cyrus imapd.conf pointing to sasl_pwcheck=pam, but I did --with-auth=unix is that correct?
