Re: Please help: Can auth but can't select
Hi Philip
Thanks for the mail. One of my raid arrays was indeed
having a problem but was used for nothing more than
mp3 storage. I totaly discounted the idea that it
might be responcable for Cyrus's problems but it
was. If I bring the server up without that array
mounted Cyrus works like it's old self again.
Frankly I'm supprised that Cyrus had such a problem
when none of the other apps on the server even seemed
to notice. Thanks again for the push in the right
direction.

Please help: Can auth but can't select
Hello! My Cyrus imapd installation suddenly slowed to a crawl and stopped yesterday. As of now I can authenticate (very quick and responsive) but I cannot do anything after that. Very occasionally I can do a select and retrieve a message but it take a *VERY* LONG time. I have tested this with multiple clients and it's without a doubt a server problem. This is totally out of character for my Cyrus install, it's always been very fast and stable. Nothing much has changed on the server recently. Yesterday when this problem started I had a problem with a bunch of unkillable processes (mostly rsync). I ended up having to power cycle the machine and everything is back to normal except Cyrus. I have combed through the Cyrus logs but I can't find any errors, Cyrus appears to be perfectly happy. I am running Cyrus 2.2.12 on a gentoo system. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this problem, mostly because I cant figure out what it is. Any advice, pointers or links would be most appreciated. If there are any logs or additional information that would help, Im happy to supply them. Many thanks Nick ___ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo!

(SOLUTION) What happened to my db/ ?
I'm still unsure as to what caused this problem. The idea of the DBs being different was a good one but I could never proove it. Both systems DB enviroments claimed to be 4.0.14 and everything in cyrus it's self claimed to be using DB3. I could find no difference between the installs. At the end of the day I decided to rebuild my mailboxs.db and delete everything else database related in /var/imap apart from the user folder. I used ctl_mboxlist to dump to a text file and then (after the deleting) rebuild from the text file. Everything works **perfectly** now. Thanks to all for the help and perticulary 'Joe Hrbek' who helped me alot off list and 'Ken Murchison' who always seems to give me that final push when I need it ;) Nick >> Hello All, >> I recently moved my cyrus-imapd install from one machine to annother. >> The move went *quite* well, I had both servers stoped and rsynced the >> live server's data (/var/imap, /var/spool/imap) over to the new server. >> >> Everything was fine untill I started playing with SSL, at that point I >> started having problems getting cyrus running after a restart. >> >> Here is what I was seeing in my logs: >> """ >> Jan 8 17:27:11 [tls_prune] DBERROR db4: operation not permitted during >> recovery. >> Jan 8 17:27:11 [tls_prune] DBERROR: opening /var/imap/tls_sessions.db: >> Invalid argument >> Jan 8 17:27:11 [tls_prune] DBERROR: opening /var/imap/tls_sessions.db: >> cyrusdb error >> """ >> >> Somewhere I found a post from someone having the same problem.

Question on the exact nature of the DBs
Hello all... In my quest to sort out the DB errors (see the 'What happened to my db/ ?' thread) I've been having a bit of trouble figuring out exactally what all the DBs are. I was hoping that someone who could look at what I've got so far and give me a headsup on any errors and answer a few (hopefully) quick questions. 1) duplicates Configured with: --with-duplicate-db=DB Location: /var/imap/deliver.db Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the duplicate delivery database. 2) mboxlist Configured with: --with-mboxlist-db=DB Location: /var/imap/mailbox.db Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the mailbox list. (More here: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/overview.html#recoverymbox) 3) tls db Configured with: --with-tls-db=DB Location: /var/imap/tls_sessions.db Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the TLS cache. 4) seen db Configured with: --with-seen-db=DB Location: /var/imap/user/u/user-name.seen Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the seen state. 5) subscriptions db Configured with: --with-subs-db=DB Location: /var/imap/user/u/user-name.sub Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the subscriptions list. Now there are two lots of data that do not appear to be covered in the above list, db/ and the mailbox/cyrus.(header|index|cache|seen). What is db/? I can't figure out what exactally it does or what you use to configure it at compile time. I guess it's part of mailboxs.db in some way but I would love a better answer The mailbox/cyrus.* files are fairly well explained here: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/overview.html#recoverymboxdir But I can't figure out what there format is or how it's configured. is it native to cyrus? Why is the reconstruct command in the doc (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/overview.html#recoverymbox) marked as 'NOTE: CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE'? What versions does that apply to? And my final question is about the seen dbs. Each user has their own seen db and a cyrus.seen in every mailbox. Are the cyrus.seen files just a backup to reconstruct the /var/imap/user/u/user-name.seen? Many thanks for the help already given and hopefully for the answers coming ;) Nick
Re: What happened to my db/ ?
Hello All, I recently moved my cyrus-imapd install from one machine to annother. The move went *quite* well, I had both servers stoped and rsynced the live server's data (/var/imap, /var/spool/imap) over to the new server.

At first I got a bit excited becuase I have just changed from a PIII to a Athalon. Now I don't think that this is the problem. I compiled from source (I use Gentoo) so '--enable-posixmutexes' shouldn't be set. I also just tryed recompiling db4 with '--disable-posixmutexes'. AFAIK I didn't have to recompile cyrus after (please correct me if I'm wrong here).

When I search on those two terms alone I get a snow of documentation and when I add keywords like 'bug' or 'cyrus' I only find the NTPL problems. It occured to me after I posted this that I didn't give any versions of what I'm using The system is running Gentoo and I'm using the packages marked as stable in the portage

I personally have never had any problems with deliver but you and others come out quite heavily against it. So as a matter of intrest what would you recomend to replace my current script setup? I say script setup because I don't want to run multiple instances of postfix on that machine so in essance I can't really use the content filters. I also want to have per user configs. I had a bit of a look around and found things like spampd (http://www.wdg.us/Content/rd/mta/spampd/spampd.html) but they don't appear to do per user settings (Kendrick Vargas mentioned hacking it but that's a seperate issue). Is there anything around you know of that's a drop in replacement? Nick

I do use spamd (the wraper implements spamc) and because postfix is trying to deliver it to a perticular user, I can easily implement per-user settings (-u on spamc). It's also a bonus doing this at the delivery agent because I don't have worry about not checking out bound mail (As I would have to if I did this with a cf). Frankly any extra overhead due to it being pipe rather than lmtp is dwarfed by SpamAssassin. It's quick n' easy, for me it's the perfect solution ;) Nick

Frankly I would stay away from LMTP over TCP unless you really want annother port to firewall on you machine. I always try and keep it simple. > For instance, in my main.cf I have: > > mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp > > Which works, but so does: > > mailbox_transport = cyrus > > What's the difference?

Doing that gives good readability (for when you come back to this in a few years wondering what you did) and a bit more controll. By using the master.cf entry you can set delivery options and the like. Though the cyrus entry in postfix's master.cf uses cyrus's 'deliver' app and not LMTP. In my case I wrote a wrapper around deliver that filters the mail through SpamAssassin. > I'm trying to find out more information for postfix. You know that this is the cyrus list right ;) > Seeing that it may > not > do what I want, sendmail may be the other option, Eeek! If you don't find postfix to your liking then check out qmail or exim. I played with sendmail once.. ONCE. That was enough. Nick
What happened to my db/ ?

Sieveshell problems....
Hi, Like the subject says I'm having problems with sieveshell. This isn't the first time I've had trouble with sieveshell but I can't find the problem here. I've tryed googling and searching the archives but I'm stumped. Anyhow, I run the following command and get the following result.. # sieveshell -u test -a test localhost connecting to localhost Please enter your password: Please enter your password: unable to connect to server at /usr/bin/sieveshell line 174, line 2. I think timsieved is working Ok. I have cyrus configured to use LOGIN and PLAIN right now to try and tease it into working. Cyrus auths fine with either of them. "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.1.11" "SASL" "LOGIN PLAIN" "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress relational regex" "STARTTLS" OK Previously I had a funny problem where one of the libs was missing but I don't think that's the case now. # ls /usr/lib/sasl2/ libanonymous.la liblogin.la libplain.la libanonymous.so liblogin.so libplain.so libanonymous.so.2 liblogin.so.2 libplain.so.2 libanonymous.so.2.0.10 liblogin.so.2.0.10 libplain.so.2.0.10 libcrammd5.la libmysql.la libsasldb.la libcrammd5.so libmysql.so libsasldb.so libcrammd5.so.2 libmysql.so.2 libsasldb.so.2 libcrammd5.so.2.0.10libmysql.so.2.0.10 libsasldb.so.2.0.10 libdigestmd5.la libotp.la mux libdigestmd5.so libotp.so mux.accept libdigestmd5.so.2 libotp.so.2 mux.pid libdigestmd5.so.2.0.10 libotp.so.2.0.10 Any advice or hairbrained ideas welcome.

Re: Sieve isn't sieving for me - things to check
I'm still learning at this myself but I found that you had to supply a
full path to the mail box rather than a relative one.
Rather than
'INBOX/Woof'
I have to specify
'user/myusername/Woof'
Note that I'm using the '/' as a delimiter rather than the '.'. That's an
option somewhere in the setup.
Basicly the INBOX is specifyed by the full folder path, I found mine by
playing around in cyradm and listing mailboxs.
Hope that helps ;)

Re: Sieve isn't sieving for me - things to check
I went through the same thing..
There were 4 basic things to check
1) Check the location of the sasl2 libs
The default location is /usr/lib/sasl2 but apparently sometimes you need
to link that dir to /usr/lib/local/sasl2. Get and use strace to check this.
2) Incorrect permissions on the sasl2 dir
3) sasl_minimumlayer should be set low
Apparently you should set this var to 0
4) Make sure the plain lib is THERE
(This is the one that got me)
In the sasl2 dir there should be libplain.so.
I'm no expert but these were the main points that every one mentioned.
Also if your using pam with plain make sure that pam has a sieve entry.

Re: timsieved isn't listing any auth methods [Solution]
Hi,
It turns out that I didn't have libplain.so in the /usr/libs/sasl2 dir.
I never did figure out why, when I recompiled sasl it appeared. I'm now
happily sorting mail :)

timsieved isn't listing any auth methods
Hi People,
I can't get timsieve to list it's one auth method... PLAIN and thus
can't get sieveshell to work. This is the second set of posts I've made so
if this seems a little familiar that's because it is ;)
I've been working on and off on this bug for about two months now :(
The problem is that timsieved isn't listing it's auth method and I don't
know why. I'm using PLAIN as my auth method becuase I'm using pam_mysql to
authenticate against a MySQL DB. I know that Plain is insecure but I have
a firewall. I have tryed a number of things mostly revolving around the
sasl2 plugins and none have helped in the least. I am intrested in ANY
wild ideas that anyone might have about what to try next but please read
the stuff below detailing what I have already tryed.
I would also be most intrested to know if anyone managed to get PLAIN auth
against PAM to work with timsieve...
Or if anyone has timsieve working with *just* the PLAIN auth method.
The one idea I still have is that timsieve isn't reading it's config data
from /etc/imapd.conf. I have no clue as to how to check if this is a
problem any ideas most welcome.
Many thanks.
Nick
>>> Things I have already tryed
libs in the workng place or libs with the wrong permissions.
I was advised to use strace on timsieved and see if there were any file
calls that couldn't be completed. I could not find any. The permissions on
my sasl2 libs are all o+rx. The strace is attached, if your good at
reading them please give it a once over (I'm not so good).
No sieve entry in /etc/pam.d. I created a sieve file in that dir with the
correct (I think) details for how to auth against the db.
sasl_minimum_layer... On the advice of a list member I added this var to
my imapd.conf with the value '0'. This didn't appear to have any effect.

Thanks man but I saw a thread on that in the archives and already gave it
a shot. No better I'm afraid.
I'm fairly sure that the compile is correct after all my testing with
strace so I'm left thinking that this has to be a config problem. I have
to have missed something stupid.
For some reason timsieve doesn't list any auth types.
Here are all the config files that I can think of... anyone see any stupid
mistakes? Please?
Thanks

On closer inspection of the output and some jiggering around I find that's not the problem. timsieve was finding the librarys eventually so I'm back to crying on my keyboard whapping my head against this problem. Does anyone know what librarys it should be loading to get pam_mysql auth to work? Does anyone know of any docs relating to getting timsieve to use PAM auth? Failing that how do you install sieve scripts without timsieved? Nick

This is all starting to make sence. I think that timsieved was compiled wrong. It's looking for all sorts of stuff in the wrong places. I'll talk to the port's maintainer and work this out Thanx to all for the kick in the right direction! Nick
Re: sieveshell says "sasl mech list empty"

According to strace sieveshell is happily opening several of the files in /usr/lib/sasl2/ as read only. So. I'm guessing that sieveshell isn't finding the plugin it wants? I'm trying to use pam_mysql with sieve like I use with imapd but imapd appears to be happy If it would help I can send the strace output Nick
sieveshell says "sasl mech list empty"
Hello people, I'm having a problem with sieveshell. When I run 'sieveshell localhost' I get: connecting to localhost unable to connect to server: sasl mech list empty at /usr/bin/sieveshell line 175. And when I 'telnet localhost sieve' I get: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v1.1.0" "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress relational regex" OK I can get into IMAP with no problems. I'm using pam_mysql to auth and these lines are taken from my imapd.conf: allowanonymouslogin:no allowplaintext: yes sasl_pwcheck_method:saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN I looked in the archives and I found two solutions: 1) sasl plugins in the wrong place. Now I think there supposed to be in /usr/lib/sasl2 and that's where they are. I can't figure out how I would check this or what files I should have there. 2) PAM is incorrectly configured I have a sieve entry in /etc/pam.d/ Any ideas? I'm a Cyrus newbie and I'm stuck. Is is something to do with 'sasl_mech_list' in my imapd.conf? I tryed blindly playing with it but got nowhere. Nick
