Start with the logs. What does Postfix tell you? I think on Debian the
logging goes in /var/log/mail.log - does it look like Postfix has
successfully handed off to Cyrus?

Also, since I don't use pam_mysql I'm gonna throw out another guess and

Re: ACL usage revisted (need feedback)

[Joakim Ryden]

on 02/10/2004 04:23 PM Ken Murchison said the following:

How is SMTP Auth going to help with this problem?


When the MUA authenticates to the MTA, the authid is passed along to 
lmtpd in the AUTH= keyword in the MAIL FROM command.  lmtpd then checks 
to see if this authid has posting rights on the rcpt mailbox.  Without 
the authid given by the MTA, lmtpd assumes that the authid is 
"anonymous", which means you would have to grant anyone posting rights 
on the mailbox, which is what Jason is trying to avoid.
Gotcha. No reason not to use Postfix then, which has an SMTP Auth 
implementation, unless your saying passing of the AUTH= keyword is 
Sendmail specific, that Postfix doesn't, and Exim does.

Actually I know what I'm doing and I'm quite happy with it. I do use spamd
(the wraper implements spamc) and because postfix is trying to deliver it
to a perticular user, I can easily implement per-user settings (-u on
spamc). It's also a bonus doing this at the delivery agent because I don't
have worry about not checking out bound mail (As I would have to if I did
this with a cf). Frankly any extra overhead due to it being pipe rather
than lmtp is dwarfed by SpamAssassin. It's quick n' easy, for me it's the
perfect solution ;)
And if one is happy and things are working one should stick with it of 
course. :)

I was just trying to point out that if you're handling a fairly large 
amount of e-mail and from Postfix are calling wrapper+spamc+running 
spamd+deliver chances are you wouldn't be that happy. ;)

If you have any kind of traffic I would *NOT* use this option as any 
Postfix calls to external programs will slow things down and eat far 
more resources than necessary.

Generally speaking if Cyrus is running on the same machine as Postfix 
the entry that you have is the best (mailbox_transport = 
lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp).

LMTP over tcp works well if you have a setup like... firewall -> Postfix 
server - Cyrus server, which is what I use. The Cyrus server as well as 
the Postfix are on internal IPs, Postfix server has port 25 open and 
Nat'ed from firewall, Cyrus server has IMAP and IMAP over SSL (ports 143 
& 993 NAT'ed from firewall so (hopefully) no one should even know that 
the LMTP tcp port is open on the Cyrus server. Even so I still use 
password authentication for Postfix to deliver to the Cyrus box.

this (or variations of this) has worked for me so many times in the

I can't get realm auth working with 2.2.2-BETA (and SASL 2.1.15). I add 
a user like so:

saslpasswd2 -c jryden

test it with

imtest -a jryden localhost

This user is able to log in to the IMAP server no problem.  I add 
another user:

saslpasswd2 -u test.com -c test

test it with

imtest -a test -r test.com localhost

and various variations of the imtest command. No dice:

Nov 15 04:16:32 cyrus imap[12149]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1]

there).)

The modules install pretty easily (using perl -MCPAN -e shell) provided you

This is going to save you a lot of time: don't try to run anything from 
[x]inetd and definitely read up on the installation documentation. I've never 
heard of anyone running a Cyrus installation out of [x]inetd and I don't know 
if it's even possible. If it is you have the configuration all mixed up.

The 'master' process is what binds to the IMAP/POP ports and forks off IMAP 
processes when there are incoming connections, it also creates the LMTP 
socket (in /var/imap/socket if that is where you configured it to be) for 
your MTA to deliver to. If you use Postfix to hand the messages over to Cyrus 
via LMTP the deliver program is redundant.

I really don't know because I've never compiled cyradm "standalone" like that. 
Chances are if you fix #1 you will automagically fix #2 as well.

Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 16:57:58 -0700

Hey fellas -

so I've seen some confusion about shared folders and thought I'd check
out what the fuss was all about. ;)

I've used shared folders very happily and successfully in the past, but
on slightly older installations of Cyrus (this particular installation
is 2.2.1), and obviously never in a virtual domains environment. 

Ok, so what I did was:

localhost.freebsd.se> cm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
localhost.freebsd.se> sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] anyone lrspi
localhost.freebsd.se> sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] anonymous p
localhost.freebsd.se> lam [EMAIL PROTECTED]
anonymous p
anyone lrspi

Now, using any IMAP client the folder shows up just fine and everyone
can do what they need to do to it. I cannot for the life of me figure
out how to send mail to this new "folder". The LMTP conversation between
Postfix and Cyrus goes something like (sorry for the crappy wrapping):

No, the correct way would be:

Also, user.damian is the INBOX. You don't need to create that.

No. :)  It's supposed to look that way. HasNoChildren just means you

That's why the above Postfix config uses /etc/procmailrc - that's all

As far as I have been able to understand you don't. You'll have to use
procmail (or maildrop or whatever is your preference) as your
LDA/intermediary ( IDA? :) - call SA from procmailrc the first thing you
do and call deliver the last thing you do. But I may be missing
something.

If you read LMTP_README I think the bottom line is: don't use the pipe

The pipe(8) man page is a good, short and easy read. The LMTP_README

I certainly don't mean to be rude, just wanted to point out that if you
don't know how to check if perl is working you are going to have a very
hard time installing and configuring Cyrus in general Perhaps there
is a prepackaged version of Cyrus for the system you are running?

is in the CVS.  I am using it here and it work great.
I haven't tried IMP with shared folders on a Cyrus server but on a 
courier-imap server the shared folders work great in the latest release 
versions of IMP too.

Are you saying that you think OE is standards compliant? That's a hoot.

Seriously though, can you be a little more specific about what is not
working? Error messages?

This is a complete shot in the dark... but maybe there is something with
how the spaces are treated on the command line since Red Hat now uses
utf8 by default. Try setting the LANG variable to en_US before using
cyradm and then try to add something with spaces.

I am seeing this using the latest snapshot version of Postfix and Cyrus
2.2.1. There's no reject/vacation messages involved though, just regular
lmtp delivery and it doesn't happen all the time. Does anyone know if
there is a drop_cr equivalent for Postfix?

Check out this tool:

I have used it for Exchange, cyrus, courier and whole bunch of other IMAP
migrations. It has never given me any problems at all.

I can't imagine what did back then - I know nothing does now though.

I have to chime in too of course... Check out spampd:

No need to run both a milter and spamd + it speaks lmtp! It rocks.
