multipart message with pdf file gets truncated
Hi list, I'm trying to diagnose a problem with a user receiving PDF files that get truncated somehow. One of my user received a PDF file in his inbox today, and second part of the page of the attached PDF is blank. He asked the sender to resend the same email to an external mailbox on gmail, and the pdf was displaying fine (ruling out a possible problem on the sender's side). I went to the cyrus partition and copied the raw email in a local text file that I opened with thunderbird. The PDF is also truncated. (so it's not a MUA problem). I am trying to diagnose this, but I'm not sure where to start. The software stack is as follow: -Debian Squeeze-- - [openldap] smtp-+--+/ | postfix | - postgrey | | - dspam +--+ \ `-[cyrus-imap-2.2.13-19] - Sample of the email below: == [] Message-ID: 004e01cbf535$97ac62c0$c7052840$@fr MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary==_NextPart_000_004F_01CBF546.5B3532C0 X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0 Thread-Index: Acv1NZdYOJh+BtBQRUSMKv2Kl/KRlA== Content-Language: fr [] This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --=_NextPart_000_004F_01CBF546.5B3532C0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary==_NextPart_001_0050_01CBF546.5B3532C0 --=_NextPart_001_0050_01CBF546.5B3532C0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Salut [] --=_NextPart_001_0050_01CBF546.5B3532C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable html xmlns:v=3Durn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml = xmlns:o=3Durn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office = xmlns:w=3Durn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word = [] class=3DMsoNormalo:pnbsp;/o:p/p/div/body/html --=_NextPart_001_0050_01CBF546.5B3532C0-- --=_NextPart_000_004F_01CBF546.5B3532C0 Content-Type: application/pdf; name=FC 2361.pdf Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=FC 2361.pdf %PDF-1.3 %=FF=FF=FF=FF 1 0 obj=0A= =0A= /Filter /Standard=0A= /U 1ADBE3C9C640824CF6754B336A1088DEC6510A59D6C4818C90072BDCAA5E3190=0A= /O 20DF7A5FA972C424A023D59CC861F679B476BF87250F63CEAA69C43AB43F9F41=0A= /P -3852=0A= /V 1=0A= [] %%EOF=0A= --=_NextPart_000_004F_01CBF546.5B3532C0-- ==END Now, without being a MIME expert, I assume that the last NextPart line not being followed by anything is not a good thing.

The mail is held until the internal sendmail server pulls the mail (a script I wrote), then the internal hands the email to the internal cyrus for delivery. My truncation problem was happening when the internal server pulled the mail, then injected the mail into the internal sendmail. At the reinjection time there were a few messages that had a dot (.) in column one. Per the RFC a dot (.) in column one is the signal to end the SMTP input session (the data command). I needed to look for a dot (.) in column one and adjust the message before reinjection. That's an interesting scenario. I will run a tcpdump and see what happens. However, in my case, wouldn't gmail's server behave the same way and trunk the message at the dot ?

I dunno about 5.4 but I believe the postuser [assuming that is where your shared thinking comes from] is only used to allow posting [via LMTP?] directly to a shared folder. I didn't/don't think it indicates the actual namespace of non-user folders. Perhaps this relates to a RoundCube bug http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1403507? RC's bad folder management is pretty well known. Here is the roundcube's thread: http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/users/2010-12/028.html The postuser works fine. The problem seems to be purely namespace related. The RFC states the following: --- NAMESPACE Command Arguments: none Response: an untagged NAMESPACE response that contains the prefix and hierarchy delimiter to the server's Personal Namespace(s), Other Users' Namespace(s), and Shared Namespace(s) that the server wishes to expose. The response will contain a NIL for any namespace class that is not available. Namespace_Response_Extensions MAY be included in the response. Namespace_Response_Extensions which are not on the IETF standards track, MUST be prefixed with an X-. Result:OK - Command completed NO - Error: Can't complete command BAD - argument invalid --- In the namespace command I posted above, the 3rd argument (Shared Namespace(s) that the server wishes to expose) is empty. Does that mean that cyrus does name return the namespace of shared mailboxes ? Should it be fixed in the configuration (and how)? Once again, I'm not sure if it's a roundcube or cyrus problem here (it might also be a human mistake). But since I'm discovering the subject, I need some help to understand this whole NAMESPACE thing.

In this case, it appears you created a mailbox named 'shared.testshared', which falls under the shared name space in Cyrus, and in which case the 'shared.' part of the mailbox name is redundant, and may be confusing the issue. A mailbox named 'testshared' would also fall under the shared namespace. That mailbox would correctly be returned as 'shared.testshared' with altnamespace turned off, and 'Shared Folders.shared.testshared' with it turned on and 'sharedprefix' configured with 'Shared Folders', which is the default. Both cases are correct and a compliant IMAP client should handle both. In neither case should the mailbox be searched for under the personal name space, which roundcube appears to be doing. I just tried to create a mailbox without the 'shared.' prefix, as follow: --- # cyradm --user cyrus localhost Password: localhost cm shrdmailbx localhost sam shrdmailbx anyone p localhost sam shrdmailbx julien lr localhost sam shrdmailbx michel lrswipcd localhost quit --- I set altnamespace:no and restarted cyrus. The result is the same as before. I can subscribe and access the mailbox from thunderbird, but I can't from roundcube. When i set altnamespace: yes and restart cyrus, I can access the mailbox 'resgate' from roundcube. I will forward that information to the roundcube's mailing list and work with them to solve the issue.

The goal is to have a PDF library available at any time, with basic file search on document/message name, so a file share doesn't solve my problem (and I don't want any document management system, I just want access to files). If outlook does it, I suppose I could code a basic PHP upload page that create an email containing the document and stores it into the IMAP directory (and integrate that to Roundcube, since it's my webmail).

Question about 'flagged' attribute
Hello Cyrus guys, I was wondering if there were any undergoing work to extend the flagged attribute of IMAP into something more configurable ? I am thinking of some sort of labelling similar to what is implemented on gmail, for example, but also with the wirtual folders in Outlook and extended tagging in Thunderbird. AFAIK, so far these features have been implemented in the email clients. But because I consult my emails with, at least, 4 different clients (cellphone on windows mobile, laptop with kmail, webmail with roundcube, other laptop with thunderbird), I would like to have the categories (flags, labels, whatever) an email belongs to stored inside the IMAP server. I'm not really aware of the work going on around IMAP, I figured you guys might know a little more about this, and maybe be working on something specific to cyrus-imap?

It appears 2.3.x supports '\*': dwh...@thebrain:~$ imtest ... cut Authenticated. 111 select INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)] cut 111 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed 222 store 1 +flags (reallyreallyimportant) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen reallyreallyimportant) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen * reallyreallyimportant \*)] 222 OK Completed 333 search keyword reallyreallyimportant * SEARCH 1 333 OK Completed (1 msgs in 0.000 secs) 444 logout * BYE LOGOUT received 444 OK Completed Connection closed. Great ! Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into this and see if it's supported by the clients I use.

Re: Question about 'flagged' attribute
Humm I'm not sure of this but aren't annotations associated to mailboxes and not emails?

I am thinking of some sort of labelling similar to what is implemented on gmail, for example, but also with the wirtual folders in Outlook and extended tagging in Thunderbird. AFAIK, so far these features have been implemented in the email clients. But because I consult my emails with, at least, 4 different clients (cellphone on windows mobile, laptop with kmail, webmail with roundcube, other laptop with thunderbird), I would like to have the categories (flags, labels, whatever) an email belongs to stored inside the IMAP server. I'm not really aware of the work going on around IMAP, I figured you guys might know a little more about this, and maybe be working on something specific to cyrus-imap?
