what does cyrus support through ldap?
Hi. I hoped that cyrus would be managable through ldap but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is the cyrus ldap support strictly for authentication? It's just that sasl can do that as well. I'd like to know if there are other options to managing mailboxes besides calling perl scripts. I need to come up with some kind of a graphical interface to manage mailboxes and I'm looking for the available options to interface with cyrus. thanks Martin Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
online moving mailbox to a different partition
hi. I have several hundred gigs of mail messages on a partition and I'd like to move it to a different partition but copying takes a very long time and I don't want to have such a long downtime. I was wondering if the renamemailbox command moves a whole mailbox to a different cyrus partition online including the whole mailbox hierarchy? thanks Martin Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
mbox annotations survive mbox deletion
Hi. Using perl IMAP::Admin library, annotations for the given mailbox survive mailbox deletion. Is there a way do delete all annotations for the given mailbox or do I have to set all the available annotations to "none" before I delete a mailbox? Also what other things survive mailbox deletion? thanks mk 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 message is there, I can see it on the filesystem but it doesn't show up after being read. Since I've never had any similar problems with other cyrus servers, I'm inclined to say it is something outlook did to that message but I can't figure out what. If it deleted that message, it wouldn't be on the filesystem. mk 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
email inaccessible through imap after reading
Hello. I'm having problem with emails being inaccessible through imap after reading it in outlook. The email file is still in the INBOX if I grep for it's mail id, but no imap client displays it. I've tried with mutt and pop3 but I couldn't find the email either. This server uses cyrus 2.3.14. I've never had any similar problems on any of my other servers. My guess is that outlook does something to the message to hide it from displaying but I've got no idea how to check this. Does anyone have any idea why would this happen?

Thanks. Is there some sort of documentation for such features in cyrus? I can't seem to find anything beyond basic setup and what is in manual pages. Stuff like annotations (through which I managed to delete 30GB of emails), global sieve skripts, snmp configuration etc? thanks mk 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
how to debug what happens inside mailboxes
Hello. I'm using cyrus 2.3.14 on a mailserver and a few users are complaining, that sometimes a message gets deleted from the mailbox after reading it. They are using some sort of outlook. Users are using imap to connect to their mailboxes. Is there a way to debug imap communication between outlook and cyrus imapd other then using tcpdump?

how to limit pop/imap login password attempts
Hi, I've been trying to figure out, how to limit login attempts for cyrus pop/imap daemons. I'm trying to prevent brute-force password guessing. I'm using cyrus sasl with /etc/sasldb2 user database, which also authenticates postfix users. I'd like to solve this problem through sasl so I won't have to figure the same for postfix or keep different passwords for mailboxes and smtp. Is there any mechanism to do this through sasl or do I have to try doing it through a firewall? I'm running debian etch system. If imap and pop do not allow multiple login attempts within a single session, I could try to work around this problem using iptables with the recent module but it's like scratching your left ear with your right hand around the back of your head. thanks for any pointers Martin Kraus 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
