Just to add another thought here... You could use syslog-ng instead of rsyslog. Syslog-ng has more advanced filtering capabilities than rsyslog, and you can probably just drop-in replace rsyslog with syslog-ng. However, I would not discourage you from looking at ZenOSS too. Syslog-ng might be less work to implement if you do not need ZenOSS features.

Based on your advise, I have rebuilt all the mailboxes. I am monitoring the maillog entries of cyrus imap after I started the cyrus-imapd. Everything seems to be fine. Most of the log entries, I checked in this list and found them harmless and hence ignoring them like: setrlimit and IP_TOS etc. But, for this one, I did not get any proper comments in this list. In the maillog, I have too many lines with the same message, which is as below. cvt_cyrusdb: mystore: reusing txn .with some value of number. This same line repeats, at least 190+ times (including that last number). Is this a cause of worry? I have not yet released the system to users. I will be doing it only tomorrow, based on the response for this. Do I need to check something? I have rebuilt mailboxes and reconstructed mailboxes in RHEL 6.3 supplied Cyrus-IMAP 2.3.16. Please advise. Unless you really want to see all the gory details of Cyrus, turn your syslog level down from DEBUG to INFO. The message you are seeing is a DEBUG level log message.
