Re: New rpms of Cyrus IMAPd 2.2.3
Ok, this makes sense, thanks Mark. I've worked through this when trying to install from source (unsuccessful as well till now). But I still can't get through the howto list. Everything seemed ok until step 7. I started saslauthd, but I don't have any file at /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and have had no occasion to write one. Does "as needed" mean I should create one, and what should it say? Then I went ahead and tried to start imap with step 11, and I get the error: "cyrus-imapd: unrecognized service". I don't mean to skip around and I want to be thorough, but it's not working for me. I would appreciate any more clarification. Thanks!

This means that on a default RedHat install where users are stored in /etc/passwd * /etc/shadow, you'll have to set a password for the cyrus unix user. Try: passwd cyrus 10) If you're using postfix, you'll have put someting like this in /etc/postfix/main.cf to let postfix deliver mail to cyrus-imapd via lmtp: mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp If you're using sendmail, I can't help you but I know people on this list know exactly how to configure it for cyrus-imapd.

Re: New rpms of Cyrus IMAPd 2.2.3
Simon,
Many thanks for the RPM!!! May I suggest putting the
RPM install command on your quick and dirty install
howto page ('rpmbuild --rebuild
cyrus-imapd-2.x.x-x.src.rpm'). I lost some time
(entirely my fault as a newbie) doing a standard rpm
install command while looking at your howto page,
missing the syntax on the homepage. Might help
another struggling newbie, I dunno.
Thanks again!!!
David

It's however > highly recommended to create backups of your data before upgrading. I found two minor problems with the new packages released yesterday: 1) On upgrade, sieve scripts are 'compiled' automagically. The problem was that sievec didn't work with some ISO-8859-1 sieve scripts that's why I included a iconv call to convert ISO-8859-1 -> UTF-8. The problem was that if the script was already UTF-8, it was again treated as ISO-8859-1 and converted to UTF-8. This bug is fixed now. 2) The new 2.2 rpm uses the mail syslog facility while the older one used local6. The default RedHat syslog configuration logs all mail.* to /var/log/maillog. On busy sites the amount of messages may be too much so changing syslog config to something like 'mail.info /var/log/maillog' may be needed. The syslog facility is now a rpm build time option and the README.RPM file does mention the change. An updated src rpm is now available.
