Cyrus and performance
We have about 11000 users on our mailserver and the server seems to be running out of resources ie. it seems to slow down when a lot of users (ie. 500-1000 imapd process are running in the system) are simultaneously reading their mail. The current system consists of: - Sendmail 8.11.6 - Cyrus IMAP 1.6.25 and SASL 1.5.24 - Sun Ultra Enterprise 450 with 4 cpus (400MHz), 2GB RAM and cyrus mail directories are on software raid filesystem (stripe+mirror and translog). What would you do to improve server's performance? We are considering following solutions: - moving cyrus mail files to hardware raid filesystem - Upgrade to Cyrus IMAP 2.0.16 or newer - Cyrus Murder of imap cluster - multiple Cyrus IMAP servers If multiple Cyrus IMAP servers is to be used then Cyrus Murder would seem like an ideal solutuon as users would only need to know the address of only one IMAP server. The problem seems to be that there seems to be very little of documentation about Cyrus Murder installation and/or management. Does anyone have any experience about installing and/or using Cyrus Murder? -- Leena Heino ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Which versio to upgrade to?
We are now using in Cyrus imap 1.6.25 and Cyrus SASL 1.5.24. Due to performance problems we are now considering a version upgrade. Which version would you recommend using? Cyrus IMAP 2.0.16 + Cyrus SASL 1.5.24? Cyrus IMAP 2.0.16 + Cyrus SASL 1.5.27? Cyrus IMAP 2.1pre(CVS) + Cyrus SASL 1.5.24? Cyrus IMAP 2.1pre(CVS) + Cyrus SASL 1.5.27? Cyrus IMAP 2.1pre(CVS) + Cyrus SASL 2.x? Are there plans to release an official release in the 2.0.x series after the current 2.0.16? Are there any serious bugs in 2.0.16 that are fixed in the 2.1pre versions? Are there plans to release official non beta release in the Cyrus SASL 1.5.x series after the beta version 1.5.27? Are the any serious bugs with Cyrus SASL 1.5.24 or in Cyrus SASL 1.5.27 that are fixed in Cyrus SASL 2.x versions? -- Leena Heino ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Eudora compatibility, patches
Here is a couple of patches to make Cyrus imapd 2.1.x versions
compatible with Eudora's features. They seem to work in our enviroment,
but be carefull and use at your own risk.
Patch 1 makes Cyrus imapd's STARTTLS Eudora compatible (and breaks client
side certificates).
Patch 2 to make MIME boundary handling Eudora compatible.
Patch 1:
Some 5.x Eudora versions seems to do STARTTLS with SSLv2 or SSLv3
handshake. To enable STARTTLS with, server must enable SSLv2 and
SSLv3 with STARTTLS.
Eudora version 5.2.x refuse to do STARTTLS if server ask for client side
certificates. To enable STARTTLS with these Eudora versions, do not ask
client sertificates with IMAP+STARTTLS.
Add these to imapd.conf:
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS session.
#
##tls_request_cert: 1
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS imap session.
#
tls_imap_request_cert: 0
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS pop3 session.
#
tls_pop3_request_cert: 0
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS lmtp session.
#
##tls_lmtp_request_cert: 1
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS sieve session.

Thanks Dan. You are absolutely right and the metadata upgrade process was mentioned in the doc/install-upgrade.html file. Silly me, for not noticing it. I thought I had read the document, but obviously I had missed that part. One reason could be that it was mentioned in the "Upgrading from 2.2.x or earlier" section, and I had just read the sections about the changes in the 2.3.x series. Though, I still could not find any information about delayed delete. -- Leena Heino University of Tampere / Computer Centre ( liinu at uta.fi ) ( http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/tkk ) 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

The unexpunge command was the first thing I tried and I read it's man page. But what puzzles me is that it seems that the deleted mailboxes are not shown in unexpunge commands output. The mailbox meta files and mailbox's messages are shown in the spool dir under the DELETED prefix eg. in the directory: /cyrus_spool/u/DELETED/user/foo/sent-mail/HEXSTRING/ What is the correct procedure the restore this mailbox so that user is able see the messages and access it once again. -- Leena Heino University of Tampere / Computer Centre ( liinu at uta.fi ) ( http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/tkk ) 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

I've used patch like this to patch Cyrus IMAPD:
Add to your imapd.conf:
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS session.

##tls_request_cert: 1
# Wheter to request client certificate with STARTTLS session.

You might want to add --without-des to configure command.
Cyrus SASL still includes an ancient version of libtool and with
Solaris you have to use a newer version in order to build libraries and
plugins that have correct rpaths. Try using libtool version 1.4.3.

Also make sure you do a lot of caching on the webmail side for example if the webmail is programmed with php use apc and cache mailbox listing and message headers if possible.

If your perl uses 64bit int and your cyrus imapd is compiled
with 32bit int then you might want change your perl code to something
like this:
$uint32=(2**32);
$n = 0;
foreach my $b (split(/ */, $_)) {
$n = ((($n << 3) ^ ($n >> 5)) % $uint32) ^ ord($b);
}
$h = chr(ord('A') + ($n % 23));

It could be that if you are using BerkeleyDB for deliver.db then the system is running out of locks or resources.

You should not encounter any problems with moving skiplist and plain text type databases. Also there should not be any problems moving the mailbox data (messages, cache, index etc.) There might be some problems moving the berkeleydb databases. At least earlier the only way to move berkeleydb databases is that you dump them in the old architechture/os and recreate them from the dump/restore files in the new architechture/os. -- Leena Heino University of Tampere / Computer Centre ( liinu at uta.fi ) ( http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/tkk ) Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/

I think making fulldirhash to use 64bit by default is a right thing to do. But if we want a really fast fix then maybe the fulldirhash 64bit change should be backed out.

Re: How to control the header cyrus lmtp adds to an e-mail upon delivery
Hi, The lmtp received line is defined in imap/lmtpengine.c: p += sprintf(p, " by %s", config_servername); The lmtp should use the servername setting or gethostname() if servername is unset.

Re: Trouble with Outlook 2013, especially with the upgrade from 12/8

Outlook and IMAP is just pain, it's not intended to work, otherwise who would
buy the exchange server?
1) We see this rather seldom, but sometimes mails come in after 2-10 hours,
not even a "Fetch mail" helps
2) Definitively a major problem of Outlook 2013, working with IMAP folders in
copy/rename operations is random at best
We might have had similar problems with Outlook 2013:
- Outlook would sometimes fail to create folders or recognize folders it
had created earlier
- Messages would get deleted or simply lost when they were copied between
folders
Attached is a patch that we used locally with Cyrus IMAPD 2.4.17 to
improve compatibility with Outlook 2013.

This patch changes XLIST behaviour so that it works the same as in LIST
in a special case. After this patch the output should be:

Re: Sieve vacation script?
On Sat, 26 Dec 2015, Patrick Goetz via Info-cyrus wrote:
I've been struggling with figuring out how to set up a sieve vacation reply
script. The documentation on this is pretty sparse, and the stuff I do find
doesn't work. For example,
I have a script that kind of does that. We needed in our organization a
script that would convert old $HOME/.vacation.msg files to sieve script.
The script would then install and activate the script on the mail server
using the mail server admin rights.
The script uses Cyrus::SIEVE::managesieve and blocks of code borrowed from
sieveshell.
Attached is a perl script that install two files to server: common.script
and vacation.script. The common.script is just a script that includes
vacation.script and ingo.script among others.
First question: is there step by step explanation for manually creating and
invoking a cyrus sieve script for a particular user?
I think there is no documentation to do it, but all the bits are there in
sieveshell code.
