You said you wanted quotas stored in ldap, this will require frequent writes to ldap I'm going to chime in here if you don't mind, since several years ago I began work on LDAP quota look-ups. Unfortunately, I never completed the work, although the design discussions between Larry and me should still be in the archives. Back then we felt, and I still feel now, that you would only want to store the actual quota threshold in LDAP. There is no reason to store how much of the mailbox is actually being used in LDAP, since this is in information that is practically useless outside of Cyrus. This would result in read-only operations from the LDAP backend, unless a user's quota is to be changed (which should be an infrequent operation). Yes... I agree with you Kevin. I do not see the frequent writes in LDAP for quotas ...Especially not if it has a good design (which we of course must have). Not using your approach and updating LDAP very often about mailbox usage can of course give a performance penalty (which maybe is the approach Igor was thinking of). I do not see huge problems to store other Cyrus related data in LDAP either if the Cyrus developers want to make it possible. It will mostly be reads unless something changes which is infrequent. But let's drop this discussion now as it seems to have turned into a performance discussion which it was not in the original post. But others can continue the thread if they are interested and want to discuss performance...

But there is definitely no need to do that, because I already think Cyrus imapd is the best OpenSource product in this area. And also better than many commercial ones. I have it in some customer installations, and it works really well. The cyrusmaster project looks nice. It looks like the most powerful admin software for cyrus and great for big installations. If we start to use it, we have to wait for LDAP extension patches from the cyrusmaster project after each cyrus update. Simple LDAP extension patches for basic (well.. almost) ldap features that could already have been in the product. And believe me...

Re: virus scan on cyrus mailboxes
Yes. it works really well. If you use it through milter you can use the build in clamav-milter or the third party smtp-vilter milter connector by Marc Balmer. I prefer the smtp-vilter as it seems more stable and also have more features. For example to also connect to spamassassin spamd and Symantec antivirus through ICAP and more. If you use smtp-vilter you do not have to rip up the mail twice with spam checking and then virus scanning. It's all done when the mail is open. Enjoy clamav. I love it.

I don't want to enable quotas for the system. I can hand edit the sendmail.cf file, but that's not a very robust solution to the problem. Is there a more appropriate way to implement this constraint? Perhaps it would be better for me to add _OPTINS(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_MAX', `C=', `, ') in the appropriate location in the cyrusv2.m4 file and maintain that patch. That would certainly be simpler than hand editing the cf file every time I make a minor change.

Cyrus bug? - Strange over quota behaviour in cyrus imapd 2.2.12
Hi list My mailclient just started to show info about I am reaching 90% of my mail quota... which is false. I am using kmail in my daily work, but have tested this with evolution as well. In cyradm I have since a long time had the value of quota set to 500 (5gig). On disk a du -h /var/spool/imap/user/imapuserid/ shows 924M. When this happens cyradmin shows 14% usage of the mailbox (seems ok according to diskusage) I have tried a su -m _cyrus -c '/usr/local/libexec/cyrus-imapd/quota -f -C /etc/imapd.conf as well which also shows 14% usage. When I instead in cyradmin set the quota to 50 (5000gig) the mailclient reports a mailbox that is over quota??? When I disable the quota by not setting it for the mailbox the quota warnings go away. Is this some kind of overflow bug in cyrus ? Is this a known problem? And is there a better workaround? (my filesystem is consistent with OS quota unlimited) Thanks in advance Per-Olov Sjöholm -- GPG keyID: 4DB283CE GPG fingerprint: 45E8 3D0E DE05 B714 D549 45BC CFB4 BBE9 4DB2 83CE pgpXZnu737RUN.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thanks for the suggestion, but no they are owned by the cyrus user (I am using a kolab server, so the user is kolab-r). I have found that I cannot reconstruct even a new mailbox, is this normal? AFAIK (running 2.1.18) you need to run reconstruct (as the cyrus user) as 'reconstruct -r user.myuser' The dot (.) is the hierarchy separator. The -r is for recursively. I managed to get it right by using cyrreconstruct, instead of cyradm, not sure why this worked like this though! Thanks for the suggestions, H Make sure to do something like this in cron: -- su -m cyrususer -c '/usr/local/libexec/ctl_mboxlist -d /var/imap/mailboxes.db-dump' -- Tell me if I am wrong... but I think this mailboxes.db file is the only file that cannot be restored with any reconstruct commands. In other words... It's important to backup. This dump give it to you in text form. I think the running mailboxes.db file is in binary. And are you sure your rights etc are correct on your folder now? This as this database describes the rights on the files etc..
