Caching imap proxy
Hi all! We need something like a caching imap proxy. If an imap client accesses the proxy, instead of delegating the client to the real server, the proxy should first try to serve the request out of its cache. So that, if several clients access the proxy and ask for the contents of the same message in the same folder, it is only requested once from the original server. As far as I know, imap proxies normally does not do stuff like this. They only delegate requests to an original server. But the murder documentation sounds a little bit, like cyrus murder might be capable to do it. If cyrus murder cannot cache imap read requests, perhaps anyone has an idea, how this caching problem can be solved. Or is it only possible to cache imap request in the imap client itself?

Caching Proxy
Hi, my company receives a lot of mails with big attachments. Since the internet-link is slow, it would be desireable to store these mails on a local server. But unfortunatly, the received mail has to be accessable (read, copy, delete) for some employees, which are working at home as well. So, I was thinking of some kind of caching IMAP-proxy. At first glance, I thought, that cyrus murder might do the trick. But diving into the documentation, it looks like a front end server is only caching the Mailbox-Metadata, not the messages itself. Is it possible to build a cyrus cluster with a frontend server, that caches messages, so that a second FETCH for the same message hits on the cached copy located on the front end server, instead of fetching it again from the backend server? Or does anybody has another suggestion to deal with this problem?

Re: How to clean up database garbages?
I did 'ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.txt' and found all the mailbox names
in mboxlist.txt are valid. The old mailbox names only appear in the
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/quota command output. In this case, I guess, I just
need to do the last two steps ('rm /var/lib/imap/user/?/*username*' and
'rm /var/lib/imap/quota/?/*username*') and can do them while services
are still on, . Am I right?

Re: Renaming A User
Simon, How do you know if a user is logged in? Simon Matter wrote: Hi all I Googled it and looked over the archives and couldn't find a definitive answer, so I'm going to ask here... I have a user who got married and changed her name. On the UNIX side of things, the name change is pretty easy. I can handle this part. The part where I'm having trouble is with the name change in cyradm. I found the old documentation from the O'Reilly book. However, that's apparently extremely out of date. I tried to find an updated version of "Managing IMAP", but there is apparently not enough call for it. I have some pretty heavy lifting to do in the next few months and would like to have a good reference. On a different list, someone flippantly suggested I just rename the user in cyradm. Is this prudent? If she has a lot of sub-mailboxes, will they all make it over in the newer versions of cyrus? As I recall, this wasn't completely functional at the time the book was written. You need 'allowusermoves: yes' in /etc/imapd.conf to make renaming work. Then, when you rename, make absolutely sure the user is not logged in while renaming in cyradm.

lmtpd delivery problem: User unknown
I'm trying to set up IMAP on a Tru64 4.0G box running sendmail 8.12.7, patched. We have hundreds of users, who currently use a mix of pine, elm, and POP clients to read their mail. We want to give them the option of using IMAP clients as well. Following the steps in install-configure.html, I made a new config file for sendmail with definitions and rules for the cyrusv2 mailer. If I start up master and then switch sendmail over to the new config file, mail delivery stops working. The mail.log shows "User unknown" for all delivery attempts by cyrusv2; if there's a dead.letter, it contains a more verbose error: "Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this name or you do not have authorization to see it." The local6.log file only shows lmtp startup and shutdown messages. Master is running, and so is lmtpd. To me it looks like lmtpd can't write to our system inboxes under /var/spool/mail. Probably a permissions problem; so we reset the files in this directory to be owned by group "mail" with group RW permissions. That didn't help; we still get the User unknown complaint. What's the right way to do this? That is, to add IMAP service to our host without breaking pine et al. Is lmtpd supposed to take care of this? Can I turn up the debugging level on lmtpd to get a more detailed idea of what's actually going on?

reconstruct after deleting folders
Hi everybody, I'm not sure I fully understood the function of "reconstruct", so if anyone could give me a hint here... I'm trying to move one mailfolder for the user "dimitri", which is located in /var/spool/imap/user/dimitri: -rw---1 cyrusmail4 Sep 19 22:47 cyrus.cache -rw---1 cyrusmail 181 Sep 19 22:47 cyrus.header -rw---1 cyrusmail 56 Sep 19 22:47 cyrus.index drwx--2 cyrusroot 117 Sep 19 22:47 drafts drwx--2 cyrusroot 117 Sep 19 22:47 sent-mail drwx--2 cyrusroot 117 Sep 19 22:46 spam drwx--2 cyrusroot 117 Sep 19 22:51 trash I'm trying to move the "spam" folder below the "trash" folder (using "mv"). After this I obviously need something like reconstruct, but it gives me this: cyrus@centauri:~ > reconstruct -r user.dimitri user.dimitri user.dimitri.drafts user.dimitri.sent-mail user.dimitri.spam: System I/O error No such file or directory user.dimitri.trash So I thought, well, the "-f" option looks promising, but wait: cyrus@centauri:~ > reconstruct -rf user.dimitri user.dimitri user.dimitri.drafts user.dimitri.sent-mail user.dimitri.spam: System I/O error No such file or directory discovered user.dimitri.trash.spam user.dimitri.trash: Mailbox does not exist user.dimitri.trash.spam So it found the moved mailbox, but it didn't remove the missing one. Using "reconstruct -m" doesn't work either: "reconstructing mailboxes.db currently not supported". I'm not sure if the quota command should help, but I get some error too: cyrus@centauri:~ > quota -f __db_assert: "0" failed: file "../dist/../db/db_cam.c", line 86 Aborted Still, if I run it on a single mailbox (not the modified one), it works: cyrus@centauri:~ > quota -f user.christin Quota % UsedUsed Root 25 0 2 user.christin Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Is there any way to make imapd aware of removed folders? Any hint would be greatly appreciated. I'm quite confused. I'm using cyrus-imapd 2.0.16. Regards, Kai
