and again sql md5 passwords.
Hello there, More SASL question but anyways.. Is there any possible way nowadays to use sql stored md5 hashed passwords if only plain login is needed? have to connect cyrus imapd to existing user database. Using pam and then sql seems like overhead for about 100.000 users at this moment, or not? Also Anyone using "alwaystrue" and will this be supported in future? We need cyrus as imap mail storage only, for local comunity website. All auth & usercheck is done by website and smtp/lmtp deliveries also checked against sql backend. -- Kristaps Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Managing Cyrus partitions & managing from php?
Hello!
Have done moving & upgrading here to 2.3.8 and brand new
hardware.
Old system was managed through perl using Cyrus::IMAP::Admin
Moving user to another partition for balancing was easy:
$client->renamemailbox("user/$username","user/$username",$partition)
or warn "moveuser: " . $client->error;
Anyone can sugest how to do this from php?
And is there a way to quickly switch which partition is used
by autocreate patch "partition-default: /var/spool/imap8"
I read the patch and found function get_partition() before
creation, but how it can be used?
Else all users get partition "default".
Thank you! Any help would be nice! ;)

Any points for 2.3 vs 2.2?
Hello! Are there any benefits from using 2.3 testing release, instead of 2.2.12 stable, if we don't use murder, shared mailboxes, virtual domains, NNTP? We use it as simple mailstorage with quotas accessed only from IMAP-webmail or pop3.

Migrating Cyrus 2 Cyrus new hardware
Hya there! We are trying to make big upgrade for our Cyrus server. Now we are running 2.1.9 on single server with 4 partitions and about 200.000 users! Each partition about 70G and 1.700.000 mail files. We thought to use 2.2.12 which is installed and checked already on new boxes. Or should we go with 2.3 as we don't use any shared folder/murder features? 99.9% users are using webmail to connect to Cyrus without any advanced features. New setup is 2 boxes each with 2 partitions each ~2T. Idea was that partitions 1-2 go to server1, and 3-4 to server2. Now we created rsync server exporting all old partitons and tried rsync whole big bunch of files to new servers, that takes a WHILE :D. Any faster way? rsync wiuld be good, because then everything is tried 4 times it would not be so much to rsync. I though I will copy mailfiles and then reconstruct mailboxes.db on each server, but reconstruct -m reconstructing mailboxes.db currently not supported :(( All auth is done in sql, so no problems migrating that. Should we dump mailboxes.db file, parse with some script to split it in 2, and then reconstruct on each server? And what would be best way for quotas? All quotas will be lifted up afterwards, so I can recreate them and recound with quota tool? Any advices will be greatly apreciated. Thx. -- kristaps Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
