Fastmail on Slashdot

2009-10-04 Thread John Thomas
This may increase the load on the Cyrus download servers.  Hopefully it 
increases the cash flow to Fastmail so they can keep up their awesome work.

List to Spam Harvest

2009-02-27 Thread John Thomas
I know little, so please forgive if this is wrong.
The following link seems to be crawled by Google and exposes our email 
addresses to spam harvesters.  I wonder if it makes sense and is 
possible to not do this or obfuscate the addresses?

 appears to be really current.

Perhaps rebuilding Simon's rpm will ease your pain:

imapd:Loading hard-coded DH parameters

2007-11-03 Thread John Thomas
Am attempting to get secure imap connection working optimally.  I do not 
need server verification.

I am getting these in my logs.  Do you know what it means or, more 
importantly, if I need to worry?

Nov  3 08:51:43 srv imaps[9301]: imapd:Loading hard-coded DH parameters
Nov  3 08:52:33 srv sieve[9260]: imapd:Loading hard-coded DH parameters

In my imapd.conf, I have

tls_cert_file: /etc/cyrus-ssl/my.crt
tls_key_file: /etc/cyrus-ssl/my.key
tls_ca_file: /etc/cyrus-ssl/cacert.crt

The key has been signed by www.cacert.org

Sieve - Reject - Backscatter worries

2007-01-06 Thread John Thomas
I would like (for convenience) to use Sieve to reject certain messages, 
but do not want to send backscatter.  I followed

http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/
but am using Simon's latest Cyrus RPM.  I only have a few users.

If I reject with sieve, will I send backscatter or will the sending 
server get the slap in the face?

Use discard instead.


That is a good suggestion, thank you.

I am still curios if Postfix has accepted the message prior to or after 
the execution of the sieve script.

Re: Win Thunderbird doesn't use SQUAT index

 Unfortunately this only works with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 from Linux
 client, trying the same from Windows XP SP2 client (also TB 1.5.0.4)
 search takes ages and SQUAT index is obviously not used.
 
 Any hint for making Win TB use SQUAT index would be greatly appreciated!
 

I have been using Win TB since before 1.5 all the way up to and
including 1.5.0.4 and it has always completed near instantaneous
searches, which I presume to mean is using the Squat Index.  I have the
Squat Index built every night for me with this in the events section of
cyrus.conf   squatter cmd=squatter -s -r user at=0100

Simon's RPM Upgrade Repo

2006-05-20 Thread John Thomas
This is a hobby for me.  I have a back up, but with my skills it would
take me a long time to restore so I am a bit worried and your guidance
is appreciated.

I am running Cent OS 4.3 with Cyrus 2.2.12 configured as suggested here:
http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/
except I have added the following to my imapd.conf:
   unixhierarchysep: yes
   duplicate_db: skiplist
   tlscache_db: skiplist

I would like to upgrade to Simon's RPM.  Is it safe to download his rpm
and run yum update cyrus-imapd-2.3.3-6.src.rpm?

Also, is there a repo that has stable Simon's rpms so I can
automatically stay updated with his rpms that have shown reasonable
stability.
