Bug in 2.1.9 rename across partitions

2002-09-28 Thread JP Howard
I've been using RENAME user.name user.name newpartition to move a bunch of users to a different partition. I am using 2.1.9 under Linux 2.4.18. After the RENAME completes, the user's quota file shows them using twice the quota that they are actually using. Running the 'quota' command fixes the

Hi, I'm using Cyrus 2.0.9/Linux/LMTP delivery. Mails addressed to be.usenet@... get dropped by Cyrus. No delivery to any file. No bounce is returned. Discovered while testing subfolder delivery to be+usenet@... (works if you grant p to anyone on that subfolder). I straced -f the master

Quoting Andrew Diederich [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'd just ask that if a known bug isn't going to be fixed, it needs to be documented and put upfront, big and large, where folks will see it. Shutting off compiler warnings with gcc 3.2 is an example. It broke compile, but folks were talking about

Hi, The following story happened to me on Friday - it's posted here for amusement and edification, and also because I have a nagging feeling that the software ought to be able to do something to prevent this sort of thing, though I'll admit I'm not entirely sure what. Some background - I run a

I'm going to throw out my opinion too.. Please no flames. This isn't directed at anyone -- just my observations after using/maintaining Cyrus for 4 years (v1.5.19 still in production) First, CMU places a nice disclaimer in the docs. Cyrus is on the same order of NetNews to install --

Please upgrade to something more recent (*atleast* 2.0.16, preferably 2.1.5 or 2.1.9) and let us know if the problem is still there. Is is still there using 2.1.9. A mail to user.subfolder disappears.

That's weird... Why would you want to do that? Anyway, you might like to try this. Since the daemons pop3d and imapd can accept parameters to use different config files, you could create two config files in /etc for imapd and pop3d (ie. pop3d.conf and imapd.conf). Then in each config file,
