Nope, no joy.
I tried this with both ${user} and ${mailbox} settings in postfix's
master.cf, reloading postfix and imapd each time.

delivery fails to virtual mailboxes
Greetings. I'm a new cyrus-imap user with delivery-to-virtual-domains
problem.
I've set up a server with cyrus-imap 2.2.12, cyrus-sasl2, Postfix, MySQL,
and virtual domains. Mail inbound to users in virtual domains isn't being
delivered. SMTP and MySQL are working OK.
Postfix says it has handed off a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Jan 26 17:59:27 petacchi postfix/pipe[858]: 2ABB75081D:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=cyrus, delay=0, status=sent (domain2.tld)
But there's nothing in maillog on the imap side.
And imtest says there's no such message:
petacchi# /usr/local/bin/imtest -m login -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost
S: * OK domain1.tld Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 server ready
C: C01 CAPABILITY

Authenticated.
Security strength factor: 0
. select INBOX
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)]
* 0 EXISTS
But if I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is also a virtual domain, but
one that happens to be the same domain as the mailserver's real domain), the
message does show up.
Searching the info-cyrus mailing lists, I found two possible issues, but I'm
not sure either explains my problem:
--cyrus-imap doesn't like usernames with '@' signs in them, and that's what
we have in the database. This may be the problem, BUT a) I don't understand
from the FAQ entry which file I'm supposed to fix and b) delivery works fine
with the virtual domain entry that's also a real domain.
--the deliver statement in Postfix's master.cf file might want ${mailbox}
instead of ${user}. I also tried changing this, but no joy.
Here is the relevant part of master.cf:
cyrus unix - n n - - pipe
user=cyrus argv=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -r ${sender} -m
${extension} ${user}
And here is imapd.conf:
configdirectory: /usr/local/imap

active='1'
sasl_sql_verbose: yes
sasl_sql_engine: mysql
sasl_mech_list: plain login
sasl_password_format: crypt
BTW, the SQL SELECT statement returns a password (encrypted) when I run it
manually. Again, the "username" entries in the database are in the form of
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Thanks in advance for any clues on how to get mail delivery working.

Mailbox doesn't exist (virtual mailboxes)
Okay... I have my virtual domains working properly. Now I'm having another problem. When checking mail from thunderbird, I am told "error from server: mailbox doesn't exist." In cyradm, 'lm' shows '[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)'. I can verify via 'imtest' that the credentials I'm using are correct. What can cause this? I haven't configured postfix yet, but I wouldn't think that is the problem. Any help would be most appreciated, as this is my first real attempt toward setting up mail on linux. I'm not a linux newbie, but I am new to linux mail systems. Thanks! --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Re: Virtual mailboxes
Hello
Talking about virtual domains or virtual mailboxes. I have a linux box with
sasl 2.1.9 and cyrus 2.1.9, Sasl was compiled with support for MySLQ like
this.
export LIBS="-lz"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-krb4 --disable-gssapi --with-dbpat
h=/etc/sasldb2 \
--with-dblib=berkeley --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib \
--with-dbd-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include --disable-otp --disable-
pwcheck \
--enable-plain --with-mysql
The configure process looks fine, and the same for make and make install
command.
After that, cyrus-imapd-2.1.9 is compiled and installed with the following
options
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-state=/var/state --with-dbdir=/usr/lo
cal/BerkeleyDB.4.1 \
--with-auth=unix --enable-sieve --enable-server --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl --
without-krb \
--disable-gssapi --with-sasl=/usr/local/lib/sasl2
make depend
make all CFLAGS=-O
make install
And here is my problem, i planning to configure imap with virtual domains
support , firts i´m trying to use the sasldb2 but i can´t (sorry, i´m a
newbie). Then, looking for some materials in internet, i found
the --with-mysql options in saslv2 and is that i trying today :).
here is my imapd.conf file
servername: xxx.net
configdirectory: /var/imap/xxx.net
partition-default: /var/spool/imap/xxx.net
admins: cyrus root
altnamespace: yes
allowanonymouslogin: no
allowplaintext: yes
#sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_mysql_user: mail
sasl_mysql_passwd: xxx
sasl_mysql_hostnames: localhost
sasl_mysql_database: mail
sasl_mysql_statement: select password from accountuser where username = '%u'
and domain_name = '%r'
sasl_mysql_verbose: yes
In mysql server i have a database named mail and i have added for it
mysql>use mysql;
mysql>insert into user (host,user,password,..) values
('localhost','mail','xxx');
mysql>use mail;
mysql>insert into accountuser (unsername,password,domain) values
('cyrus',PASSWORD('test'),'xxx.net');
That´s all that i have configure but the log look very ugly when a try to
log with cyradm.

So, you changed cyrus-imap as well as the cyrus-sasl code? -Igor

User rewriting is pretty easy, but then all users have to authenticate as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which you rewrite to the actual mailbox. If this is not an option, then you will probably have to have separate cyrus installations per domain. (The rewriter needs some information about what domain to rewrite to). We have users authenticating with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Devdas Bhagat
Virtual Mailboxes
Hello, I am looking at a prospect of integrating several customer bases into one email server (cyrus :)) while maintaining email addresses from various domain names. I would also like for the transition to be transparent to the clients' setup (Outlook, etc). The main obstacle is the duplicate usernames. Perhaps, the aggregator may help with this issue. Another solution can be a simple user rewrite module for pop/imap/sieve. This can be db, skiplist or ldap based. I was wondering if you can share your experience with a such predicament. Thanks, -Igor
