I administer a cyrus imapd system that was designed before the advent of virtual domains. To accomodate multiple domains on one server, the mailboxes were created in the format of "user1.domainname1.com". What I'm looking for now is the ability to give "user1" a way to configure his/her POP3/IMAP mail client so that the ".domainname1.com" portion wouldn't be required. How hard would implementing something like this be?

Read-only secondary mail store?
I did some browsing in the cyrus-info mailling list archives for a feature I'm interested in and came up with nada...perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) here in the US requires that we keep a copy of all public records (which include e-mail) for 6 years. My initial thoughts on meeting this requirement for my cyrus imapd environments are: - configure cyrus imapd so all mail is stored in 2 mail stores - the first store is the normal read/write store that clients use - the second is for archival purposes; messages that are deleted or moved on the first mail store aren't deleted/moved on the 2nd store - when mailboxes / folders are created on the 1st store, they would also be created in the 2nd - rotate the 2nd / archival mail store as disk space permits - the archival mail store could be reloaded upon request and searched on using IMAP Has anybody ever done something like this before using cyrus imapd? If so, how did you do it? I'm wondering if I should be looking at the MTA level more than at the MDA or mail storage level to pull something like this off... If there is anybody out there who's had to deal with this issue and wouldn't mind weighing in, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Re: received date and reconstruct
Why not let cyrus do all the legwork for you and use ipurge? Put an event like this in your "cyrus.conf" file: purgespam cmd="/usr/local/bin/ipurge -f -d 7 user/*/spam-folder" period=1440 This would clean up any messages in each user's spam-folder that are older than 7 days. Check the ipurge manpage for more info. Lars On Thu, November 20, 2003 8:29 am, you wrote: > Strangely, I need to do something very similar.

ipurge as an event in cyrus.conf
Hello all, Wondering if anyone has had any success with using ipurge events in the cyrus.conf file... I would like to periodically purge all users Spam and Trash folders and was thinking something like this would work in cyrus.conf (vs. using cron): # purge trash every day at midnight purgetrashcmd="ipurge -f -d 1 user/*/Trash" at= period=1440 # purge spam every 3 days at 1AM purgespam cmd="ipurge -f -d 3 user/*/Spam" at=0100 period=43212 I ran the ipurge commands as user cyrus from the command line and they seemed to have worked fine. But when I stuck the above lines in my cyrus.conf file and restarted cyrus, I haven't seen any auto purging... RedHat 9 w/cyrus-imapd-2.1.13 & cyrus-sasl-2.1.13 Any ideas?

Your cyrus user account doesn't have a home directory according to your passwd
file; you can either edit the home directory field of the passwd file directly
as root (/etc/passwd on most systems), or use one of the tools that do this for
you, like usermod:
usermod -d {cyrus' home directory} cyrus

You need to add "-lpthread" to LDFLAGS (and export it to the environment) before running the configure script. I don't know who's job it should be to figure out that additional linker flag...the addition of nptl in RedHat 9 is turning out to be really problematic thus far. Lars

Are permissions on it set properly? Yes libdb-4.1.so is in the same directory I passed to configure for bdb-libdir. Permissions are same user I'm building as, and mode is 775.

Linking imapd with db-4.1.25
Hello, I've built and installed db-4.1.25 in a non-standard location on my RedHat 9.0 machine and am having trouble getting cyrus-imapd-2.1.13 to against it. It appears that the configure script does not detect it properly, even if I invoke the configure script with the --with-bdb-libdir= and --with-bdb-incdir= options set. Snippet from configure's output: <=== checking for db.h... yes checking for db_create in -ldb-4.1... no checking for db_create in -ldb4.1... no checking for db_create in -ldb41... no checking for db_create in -ldb-4.0... yes ===> When I do an ldd on the resultant imapd binary after the build finishes, I see that it been linked to the bdb libraries that came with the RedHat install (4.0.14-20). I've played around with LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to try and force the directories of my non-standard libraries and headers to be loaded first, but that didn't change a thing. I'm reluctant to remove the RedHat db4 installation because I quite certain that it would break a large amount of dependencies... Any ideas? Thanks, Lars Peterson iTech Inc.

Mailbox namespace + LMTP question
I'm running cyrus-imapd 2.1.13 w/cyrus-sasl 2.1.13 on a RedHat 9.0 system. My goal is have my mailer hand off a message to deliver with the recepient mailbox in an e-mail address format: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I'm not sure if I've violoated the mailbox namespace by trying to use names containing the "@" character...deliver refuses to deliver any messages to mailboxes I've created with this character in their name. I get the "Mailbox does not exist" error message whenever I try. I am able to deliver messages using deliver when I give it a recepient without the "@" character. If the "@" character violates the mailbox namespace, then why does cyradm let me create mailboxes that contain it? Reconstruct, ctl_mbxolist, and the other utilites / commands seem to be okay with it as well. useful lines in /etc/imapd.conf are: hashimapspool: true unixhierarchysep: yes Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this matter.
