Cyrus::IMAP::Admin

Three questions about Cyrus::IMAP::Admin: I am using Cyrus::IMAP::Admin for a script to archive mailboxes. It should rename mailbox to mailbox.Archives.dateinteger. 1). How does one list mailboxes which _don't_ contain .Archives.? It's one thing to list those that _do_: my @mailboxes =

Re: Create Mailboxes on Delivery

Thank you for the suggestion, but I think autocreateinboxfolders takes as an argument a static list of sub-mailboxes to create, upon the auto-creation of an INBOX. So it doesn't enable the dynamic creation of an arbitrary mailbox, based on a delivery request. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It is essential to me to create the mailboxes for which incoming messages are intended when they don't exist. To this end, I am writing a patch. The patch is currently *very* neanderthal - but it kind of works. Unfortunately, there are problems with the mailboxes it creates. I can see them,

When I tried this patch a month or so ago, it would create INBOXs, but not other mailboxes. For instance, I tried posting a message to a nonexistent mailbox, INBOX.new-mailbox; it ended up in INBOX. Possibly I misused the patch, and possibly it now does what it didn't before. I would be glad

Thanks - point taken. After consideration, however, I don't clearly understand the increased vulnerability. Calling mboxlist_createmailbox from lmtpd takes an auth_state, which I presume must have authority to create the specified mailbox. For an attacker to flood the system with new

Thank you very much for your suggestion - I've experimented with the autocreate patch... I want to automatically create arbitrary folders on post - when they are delivered to. I think, however, that this patch will only create INBOXs - not arbitrary folders as I desire. I haven't experimented

Delivery Behavior

The [cyr]deliver manpage explains that if delivery is attempted to a mailbox, user.userid.mailbox, and ... the ACL on any such mailbox does not grant the sender the p right ... then delivers to the INBOX for the userid, regardless of the ACL on the INBOX. If delivery is attempted to any

In one area I have had trouble using Cyrus IMAPd: Delivery. After considerable effort - and help from others - I believe I've arrived at the fundamental problem: I wish for users to be able to filter mail using arbitrary user level programs, but I don't wish for users to be able to deliver mail

Automatically Rename Mailboxes

2004-04-18 Thread ms419
I would like to periodically automatically rename mailboxes. The size of some mailboxes can quickly grow out of hand. Say, once a month, I'd like INBOX.busy-list moved to INBOX.busy-list.20040418 - for instance. I thought first of a cron job, calling cyradm, but this is the limit of my

I use a script and [cyr]deliver -m to automatically sort messages. When it delivers a message to a nonexistent folder, I would like the folder to be created, instead of delivering the message to INBOX. Can [cyr]deliver create the folders to which it delivers? What techniques have others used?
