Hi, I would not discount using reiserfs (v3) by any means. It's still by far a better choice for a filesystem with Cyrus then Ext3 or Ext4. I haven't really seen anyone do any tests with Ext4, but I imagine it should be about par for the course for Ext3. as far as the NFS... NFS isn't

Hi Teresa, I've been running Cyrus 2.3.13 successfully on Gentoo (amd64/x86_64) for quite some time without any issues. It's currently linked against bdb 4.6, however I use skiplist for all my databases as I found overall that is much cleaner in the long run. However, I can honestly say I

Hi, When you deal with pop3, and migration there is typically 1 pain that is epic. 'UIDL' Output has changed, it can make duplicate emails appear because Outlook, or whatever you are using will not see the same 'results' as it had before. Example, telnet localhost pop3 user foo pass foo

Dear Stephen, SugarCRM does not use Cyrus to send emails. This would fall under Postfix I believe is what you use for an MTA. I suggest you to verify that 'localhost' or the host SugarCRM is sitting on to be configured as a relay host, or configure SugarCRM to use SMTP Authentication.

Hi Maurizo, Technically, even if you were using duplicate suppression it would not be a huge loss to store it on a local filesystem. You don't usually see duplicate id's unless someone's MTA goes bonkers; or their MUA is stupid; oh and SPAM. So yeah go for it, that'll save you a good deal

Going to toss in my 10 cents. I'm assuming the GFS is the same lun/id on both servers, and you are using GFS to read-write between 2 or more servers. You could try OCFS2 instead of GFS... Other then that the only thing I can think of is using DRBD in a read-write configuration. However

Hi, Easiest fix is to re-create the directory of the account that was deleted, with the cyrus.* files in it. Easiest thing if you can find an empty account on your server. cp -pr it to your account name, ensure the permissions are the same (owner cyrus) then you can reconstruct -r -f
