Moving a message into a folder would run ifile on the message. There would be a sieve extension that filed messages in the folder that ifile thought was appropriate. --- 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

RE : cyrus on vxfs
Works fine for us. Tis nice not having to worry about running out of inodes. ;-) (Using Solaris vxfs, BTW.) Hah! I've been using vxfs for so long I'd completely forgotten about having to pre-allocate indodes! Oh bugger, another thing to miss when I have to stop using UnixWare.

RE : Best way to backup cyrus system (lots of inodes!)
We're using vxfs on solaris, taking a snapshot of the applicable filesystem, backing up the filesystem, aned then deleting the snapshot. This leads to perfect consistancy, though it does require the creation of a snapshot on a live system. That's what I do with vxfs on UnixWare. What's your worry with taking a snapshot on a live system? We do 4-5 a day on two systems every day of the week. Also with a vxfs snapshot vxdump is the way to go - it's FAST, especialy for incremental backups.
RE : RE : Best way to backup cyrus system (lots of inodes!)
I'm probably misremembering something from our testing, since the load created by running gzip for a few hours is definately more than any brief load spike while a snapshot was created. How are you doing the actual backup? I cannot recommend vxdump too highly, it is rather awkward to use but *MANY* times faster than tar or find/cpio, especialy if you're doing incremental backups.
RE: Security of Cyrus IMAPd vs UofW IMAPd ...
privileges. Since all the mailboxes are owned by the Cyrus user, what would be more secure of a system that just does mail delivery woulkd be a hack to sendmail so that once it attaches to port 25 it drops root and runs as the Cyrus user. Show me a hack like that, and Cyrus wins hands down (or two thumbs up) because you can't do that with UofW. Is there any reason you can't just use ``RunAsUser'' and run as cyrus? Eurgh! Don't run as user Cyrus, make another and use LMTP for delivery. Compartmentailisation.
Re: Security of Cyrus IMAPd vs UofW IMAPd ...
Rob Tanner [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [ re cyrus vs UW imap security ] The big issue, however, is sendmail. And ny effort to hack through your mail system via your email system (i.e., through port 25) goes through sendmail before Cyrus ever sees it, and most of those attacks are designed to get sendmail to execute some program with its root privileges. Since all the mailboxes are owned by the Cyrus user, what would be more secure of a system that just does mail delivery woulkd be a hack to sendmail so that once it attaches to port 25 it drops root and runs as the Cyrus user. Show me a hack like that, and Cyrus wins hands down (or two thumbs up) So dump sendmail. And your sendmail replacement shouldn't run as user cyrus; it doesn't need to access the mailboxes directly, that's what LMTP is for. AFAIK postfix works with cyrus, maybe qmail also.

So, do people who run cyrus imapd usualy use the db_recover/db_checkpoint utilities? db_deadlock? Anyone have a nice startup/shutdown script? -- John Hughes [EMAIL PROTECTED], CalvaEDI SA.Tel: +33-1-4313-3131 66 rue du Moulin de la Pointe, Fax: +33-1-4313-3139 75013 PARIS.
