Group usage on mailboxes...

Hello everyone. I have setup a Cyrus-Imap server for our company and we are going to be setting up bulletin boards for our individual departments. I've been able to get everything to gel together correctly; ACL's, mailboxes, etc. It works like a charm. However, as I am looking to set ACL's on

Re: Group usage on mailboxes...

If you're using the auth_unix authorization module, you should be able to use unix groups quite easily. (using group:groupname) syntax. Otherwise, you'll need to use AFS PTS groups or LDAP groups (via ptloader) or write your own ptloader module. Since im using sasldb2 as the backend, the

Some questions about cyrus-sasl (and sasldb2)

ACL usage revisted (need feedback)

Hello everyone. About a week ago, I started a thread explaining my attempts to use ACL's on shared folders and bulletin boards using Postfix. I explained in the thread that I could not get ACL's to work correctly with specfic users. It was then pointed out to me that the problem was in the MTA

Hello everyone. I wanted to post my setup here at my location, what my intentions are and the direction I am heading. Right now, im running FreeBSD 4.9, Cyrus-Imapd-2.2.3 and Cyrus-SASL-2.1.17. Everything is working smoothly, including secure authentication as SSL. I could not be any happier.

Few questions on Cyrus-2.2.3

Morning everyone. Recently, I have been working with Cyrus-2.1.16. However, I ran into a snag in regards to being able to use ACL's correctly. A suggestion given to me was to try and use NNTP instead (either that or switch from Postfix to Sendmail, which I may have to but thought i'd give this

Re: Question on ACL's

Nope, the rights that a user on Cyrus has is the union of all of the acl lines that apply to it. So the trick that I am presented with is to figure out how to get my MTA (Postfix) to authenticate to the LMTP process in order to have acl's work correctly on shared mail boxes, correct? Has

Re: Cyrus and Postfix question

Hello and Thanks for your reply. Frankly I would stay away from LMTP over TCP unless you really want annother port to firewall on you machine. I always try and keep it simple. For now, im going to use UNIX domain sockets. I figure, since both postfix and cyrus are on the same machine, only seems
