The only valid way to access messages under Cyrus control is via the protocols (IMAP/POP), that's stated clearly in the project description. Why don't you stop the virus before the MTA hands the infected message to Cyrus or even better before the MTA accepts it. There are several software pieces (both commercial and Open Source) that implement that kind of functionality. Btw, I would think cyrus should be able to handle the simple case of a missing single file. I should be able to delete a message for which the message file is already missing. We're not talking about a complex database file structure here. It's a single file with a single message. Ok if that's simple enough then implement this functionality or get somebody on your organization with the relevant programming skills to implement it. Send the patch to the Cyrus developers maybe they will accept and it will get included in the official distribution. If not, you can maintain a it as a local patch and update is to every new Cyrus release you deploy. - Ramiro

I am currently running Cyrus 2.1.9 under Redhat 8 using Simons
source RPM. I had no problem recompiling and installing from the
source RPM per documentation. Subsequently I have updated many
Perl Modules. When I try to rebuild the 2.1.10-3 rpm from source I
get an error during the rebuild process. The error is from this

It appears that perl-Cyrus-2.1.10-filelist is never being written
at all. If I manually run these commands after erroring out,
perl-Cyrus-2.1.10-filelist is properly written. I am not sure how
to debug an rpmbuild -rebuild so I can see what is going on. BTW,
when I try rpmbuild -rebuild on the original 2.1.9 source RPM that
I originally installed from, it errors out in the same place. When
I tried rebuilding on another Redhat 8.0 box on which the perl
modules are relatively untouched, the rpmbuild ran to conclusion.
Any ideas on what is going on or how to debug an rpmbuild -rebuild
would be appreciated.

I am thinking of writing up a how to on installing cyrus since it seems like many people are having problems with the BerkeleyDB on linux and cyrus finding the distro shipped verion of the db. Not a bad plan! Though some of the solutions I have seen for that issue on this list look a little manual and unpolished. I think this is more an issue with Cyrus IMAPd 2.1.x -- can you confirm this? With 2.0.16, rebuilding the SRPM by Ramiro Morales seems to work fine. At least until I have SSL/STARTTLS working well for me with 2.0.16 (for IMAP and SMTP), I have no real drive/need to get involved with 2.1.x -- though the altnamespace stuff would definitely be nice to have. As you probably know, there is an existing Cyrus IMAP HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP.html but it was written in 2000 and so is for 1.6.24, which is now pretty obsolete. I suggest you contact its author and perhaps work with him if you want to update it for 2.0.16. I'd suggest doing that, and then updating again for 2.1.x, that way there will be a version for each major version of cyrus-imapd (1.6.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x). My own inclination would be to work instead on packaging the new 2.1.x version as an RPM for Red Hat 7.2, fixing or working around any configure.in buglets discovered along the way, and so making the installation a lot easier for many Linux users. But I don't know if I will need/want this badly enough to make the time to do it -- maybe one of the folks who created cyrus-imapd 2.0.x RPMs will work on this before I get there. Jonathan -- Ramiro

Re: redhat 7.2

I'm testing the release 3 on the rpm packages

Peter:
I was looking at this problem during the week end.
This is what I found so far:
The problem lies with the authorization configuration
choices Cyrus makes available (beware: It is authorization
or what rights do you have once you have authenticated to
the server) they can be unix or kerberos, and this setting
dictates which names and features can be used when setting
the ACLs in the mailbox folders tree.
Until now the compilation process of both the Red Hat's RPMs
and of my RPMs was usinn by default the unix authorization
method.
The --with-kerberos switch passed to configure does not
enable nothing in this respect, this just specify the path
where the header and libs of kerberos are located.
The ./configure script of Cyrus does the following
to decide which autorization method to use:
# Check whether --with-auth or --without-auth was given.
if test ${with_auth+set} = set; then
withval=$with_auth
WITH_AUTH=$withval
else
if test -f /etc/krb.conf -o -f /etc/kerberosIV/krb.conf ; then
WITH_AUTH=krb
else
WITH_AUTH=unix
fi
fi
So the /etc/krb.conf that comes with the krbafs package in RHL
7.2 activates the Kerberos method (I observed this in my new
RHL 7.2 system).
If I create a bogus /etc/krb.conf in my RHL 6.2 system I found
myself with the same problem.
I don't know if the krb5 libs RHL ships are compatible with
the Kerberos environment Cyrus expect to find and if then
it is worth modifying the Cyrus configure tests to expect
the des_ecb_encrypt() and other stuff in the libdes4... libs
shipped with krb5. But this is another completely different
(painful?) problem :-D
I also don't know if RHL 7 and 7.1 shipped a krbafs package
(or some other) containing /etc/krb.conf
The recommended solution is to add an explicit
--with-auth=unix
switch to configure.
Even if the Kerberos stuff compiled right out the box it
would not be ncie the binary RPM packages of Cyrus to (not)
include support of Kerberos depending of what user building
the package does (not) have installed her/his system.
I think I should copy this note in the web page so it can
be read by all the people trying the packages in RHL 7.2
Good luck and thanks for your feedback.

Maybe looking at the log file/s generated when

If i changed spec file to ./configure ... --without-krb

it

here comes a report of another problem this user is encountering
...
BTW,
I also have a pristine (that is, no Red Hat official
Red Hat updates installed yet) test installation of RHL 7.2
and had no encountered the problem you report.
To avoid other potential compilation problems add --with-auth=unix
to the %configure call (it avoids errors with the configure script
screaming about a missing des function if you have the krbafs
package installed because the later provides an /etc/krb.conf
that make configure to get it all wrong).
Also, if you are going to put the dirs that used to get the
S attribute when they were in an ext2 fs (see the %post
script) in the a partition with the new ext3 filesystem type
then you can modify the script and skip the chattr stuff.

Re: cyradm error
Anderson: The problem you reports is one of the many (I do not remember exactly which of them) integration problems that are fixed by the building process of the RPM packages mantained by the people of Red Hat. Additionally I'm maintaing an indepentend set of rpm packages of Cyrus for Red Hat Linux = 6.2. Perhaps you can opt for try installing one of these rpms or at least try to mimic the building process of one of these packages (and changing the switches you pass to ./configure if you wish to adapt it to your environment) The source rpm package of Red Hat contains Cyrus version 2.0.9 and you can find it in the Powertools CD of Red Hat 7.1 or in the Powertools section of Rawhide (the WIP to RHL 7.1). BTW It's strange they have not updated it for serveral months now. The source rpm for the package set I maintain can be downloadeed from: http://rmrpms.tripod.com/cyrus-imapd/ And are of version 2.0.16 (relase of the packages is 1 and release 2 with several bugfixes is due in a couple of days).

The update is needed mainly because at 2.0.13 time in imap/imapd.c the struct sockaddr_in *imapd_remoteaddr variable was moved from global scope to the service_main() function and drac_ping() relied in the former behavior.

Re: [Re: Modified drac support patch]
Glad to apport my two cents for Cyrus. Excuse me and please tell me if I'm doing wrong posting it to the list, maybe one should sent the patches to another place. Just to point thay you may want to correct the description of the patch at the top of the file, the first reference to the configuration file to be edited refers erroneously to cyrus.conf(5) instead of imapd.conf. And as a bonus a question (for the mailling list): I'm maintaining RPM packages for Red Hat Linux of Cyrus IMAPd, and I'm giving the final retouches to the package containing version 2.0.12. Here is the situation (I hope being clear enough with my bad english): 1) Now that drac support is selectable at runtime I want to be able to make incorporating the drac patch at build time a choice for the builder (he/she should have libdrac.a available in the filesystem at this point). 2) Right now the package build process is using configure as it comes with the Cyrus IMAPd distribution. 3) the drac patch needs to rebuild configure from the patched configure.in, so it adds two (possibly three?) new packages to the list of build dependencies: (automake autoconf (and smake?) I was trying to avoid this and come to the following solution: install automake, autoconf (and smake?) on my system unpack the Cyrus IMAPd distribution to dir A unpack the Cyrus IMAPd distribution to dir B apply the drac patch to dir B run # rm -f aclocal.m4 configure ; sh SMakefile on dir B An now obtain a new drac patch by running diff -ruN A B This new drac patch is applied in the %prep section of the specfile. a diffstat -w 50 run on it gives now: acconfig.h |3 config.h.in |3 configure| 511 + configure.in | 15 imap/imapd.c | 52 ++ imap/pop3d.c | 13 man/imapd.conf.5 |7 7 files changed, 378 insertions, 226 deletions (the high change count in configure is because many "echo configure:line number" changes after insertion os some lines on it) I'm doing this because the 'expected audience' for the RPM packages is people running Red Hat Linux (as I do), 7 and even the coming 7.1 each one with potentially different versions (or none at all) of db3 and cyrus-sasl so I'm recommending people to download and rebuild the source RPM in their system rather to use the binary one made in my system. But I want to avoid, if possible, to force them to install autoconf, automake (and smake). Is it correct or I'm making some wrong assumption(s) ? TIA ! Ken Murchison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the changes. I have attached a slightly modified version of your patch for 2.0.12. I have also checked a similar patch into CVS for inclusion with future releases. My changes: - Use value of 'dracinterval' to enable/disable DRAC at runtime. - Set the default value of 'dracinterval' to 5, since I think that most people who compile Cyrus with DRAC support will tend to use it and expect it to be on. - Disable DRAC at runtime if dracd can not be contacted.

Modified drac support patch
I'm attaching a modified version of the patch to add
drac support to Cyrus imapd/pop3d daemons.
It is based in the one included in the contrib
directory of the 2.0.12 distribution.
I have modified the configuration variables
used in imapd.conf to be able to specify at runtime
if one wants to use (or not) drac even when the binary
used is compiled with drac support (before it was always
enabled).
Also the interval in minutes between submissions
to the dracd daemon made by imapd during a user's
IMAP session is now configurable (previously it was
fixed to 5 minutes). It is then now possible to
play with this setting and the -e switch parameter
passed to the dracd daemon.
The relevant imapd.conf options are
dracinterval: 0
If nonzero it enables drac support for imapd and pop3d
indicating then the amount of time in minutes
between submissions to the dracd daemon made by
imapd.
drachost: localhost
The host where the dracd daemon is running.
The instructions to apply it are the same to the
ones included with the original patch. Just
take in account the configuration file you modify
is imapd.conf and not cyrus.conf.
Excuse me for my English.

Cyrus IMAPd 2.0.11 RPM packages available
Cyrus IMAPd and Red Hat Linux users: I have uploaded the first public release (5.62.crm) of the RPM packages of Cyrus IMPAd version 2.0.11: cyrus-imapd-2.0.11-5.62.crm.i386.rpm cyrus-imapd-doc-2.0.11-5.62.crm.i386.rpm (Intel 386 binary rpms) cyrus-imapd-2.0.11-5.62.crm.src.rpm (source rpm) to http://rmrpms.tripod.com/cyrus-imapd/ The packages were prepared and tested in a Red Hat Linux 6.2 Intel system. If you are a user of Red Hat Linux 7.0 you can: - Download the source rpm and, after installing required packages to satisfy the build prerequisites, rebuild it to obtain new binaries. - If you can live with the documentation going to in /usr/doc and not in /usr/share/doc you can download the binary rpms In both cases you can verify/fix manually the cyrus initscript works in the actual location /etc/rc.d/init.d. Patches to add RHL = 7 compatibility are welcome. Now that (in Lawrence Greenfield words) "...We now consider the 2.0 line production quality code...", some 1.6.x users may want to upgrade so I have moved the documentation to a new -doc sub-package, that can be installed independently of the main one. Relevant changes: - Update to 2.0.11 - Explicit dependency of cyrus-sasl = 1.5.24-11 - Add patch from Lawrence Greenfield for bad file descriptor ordering and rlimit type portability. - Add patch from Bitt Faulk for spurious linking with libwrap in programs not needing it. - Added postinstall console message about reading install-upgrade.html for people doing an upgrade. - Added newly supported reload action to initscript. - Incorporate RedHat fixes: disable snmp support, honor CFLAGS when building the perl sieve library. - Initscript: delete debugging lines added in previous release - Many minor fixes and mods (updated set of manpages, initscript fixes and tweaks, omit unneeded files and patches, etc.) Binary rpm for other architectures are welcome. Please report bugs/send patches/etc. to rmrpms at usa dot net Regards, -- Ramiro Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1
Creating an empty mailboxes.db
Cyrus gurus:
I'm in the process of wrapping up the RPM package
of cyrus-imapd version 2.0.11.
In previous versions the package installation process
created an empty mailboxes.db file in /var/imap
(which is the value if the "configdirectory"
directive in /etc/imapd) and this didn't
caused problems.
In my tests I have found that in 2.0.11
imapd dies dumping a core file when you
connect, say with cyradm to create the
first mailbox, to the imap port.
The relevant portion of the logfiles follows:
--
master: unable to change limit of file descriptors available
master[17893]: process started
ctl_mboxlist[17895]: running mboxlist recovery
ctl_mboxlist[17895]: done running mboxlist recovery
master[17893]: no service 'pop3s' in /etc/services, disabling pop3s
master[17893]: no service 'sieve' in /etc/services, disabling sieve
master[17893]: ready for work
ctl_mboxlist[17901]: checkpointing mboxlist
PAM_pwdb[17904]: (su) session opened for user cyrus by (uid=0)
imapd[17906]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/mailboxes.db: No such file or
directory
imapd[17906]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/mailboxes.db: cyrusdb error
PAM_pwdb[17904]: (su) session closed for user cyrus
--
I think ctl_mboxlist, configured as follows
in /etc/cyrus.conf,
--
START {
# do not delete these entries!
mboxlist cmd="ctl_mboxlist -r"
...
}
EVENTS {
# this is required
checkpointcmd="ctl_mboxlist -c" period=30
...
}
--
interprets the zero-sized file as corrupt and then
deletes it.
I have modified the post-install process
so it creates an empty (0 records) mailboxes.db
in the following way:
su cyrus -c "echo -n | /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u -f
/var/imap/mailboxes.db" 2 /dev/null
Can somebody with more experience in db3/cyrus IMAPd
tell me if I'm in the good way or doing something dumb ?
PS: This approach seems to fix the
imapd-dies-right-after-the-first-connection problem
TIA, and as always excuse me for my english.

"David Fuchs" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You'll need to run `tools/mkimap' as the cyrus user to create the proper directory structure and any initial DB files. The mkimap utility will read the pathnames from your /etc/imapd.conf file. Right, the installation process ir running mkimap but I think mkimap is no supossed to create mailboxes.db, this is the reason of creating the file with the touch command in previous versions on the rpm package. I´m going home now and will take a look at it. Also, 2.0.11 has a problem with the master process's handling of file descriptors, Lawrence Greenfield has posted a patch to fix this. -David Fuchs Yes, I have applied the patch, and one from Bitt Faulk (concerning the linking of libwrap and some typos in the timsieved Makefile). I suspected the mailboxes.db problem and the limit_fds() problem fixed by LG were two different things so with the patch for the latter now applied I´m looking at the former. -- Ramiro Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1
Re: [Re: squirrelmail 1.01 and cyrus-imapd 2.0.9]
Just a correction: Squirrelmail differs from other web mail implementations in this aspect because implements its own IMAP (and SMTP) routines library in PHP. So it doesn't use the standard PHP IMAP support, so no depends on c-client. Simon Loader [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: squirral mail is PHP. I find ( personally ) that PHP and IMAP (UW cclient) sometimes tend to crash ??? I get spurous errors all other the place. (which I cant find any now :( ). Anyway , try makeing sure you have the latest version or c-client (2000a ? ) compiled in with PHP. Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1
