RE: cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-caldav-beta4 released

Hi Dave,

thanks. My understanding was that the other daemons hadn't changed, so I 
thought that base 2.4.17 already included the intelligence about those 
special folders. Ken, could you please clarify if that is the case or if I 
also need to replace the other binaries to be safe?

Cheers,
Sebastian

cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-caldav-beta4 released

We are pleased to announce the fourth beta release of Cyrus IMAP with 
integrated calendaring and contacts (beta3 was an internal release 
only).  This is a security and bug fix release, with only one new 
feature added.  Sites that are using or testing any of the HTTP-based 
services are urged to upgrade to this release.

This code is based on the stable Cyrus 2.4.17 release with support for 
CalDAV, CardDAV and RSS added.  All of the standard Cyrus IMAP daemons 
and utilities should be considered production quality in this release, 
but the HTTP support (CalDAV, CardDAV and RSS) is in beta status.

You can download via HTTP or FTP:

http://cyrusimap.org/releases/cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-caldav-beta4.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-caldav-beta4.tar.gz

Installation documentation will be found in doc/install-http.html in the 
distribution.

Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to any and all 
feedback.

Mailbox locked, not removed

Hello,

I am doing some tests with a complex conversion to Cyrus.

When I have the mail in Cyrus, I cannot remove the mailbox anymore.
After removing the mailbox is locked in stead of removed. Not sure
what's wrong.

This is what I do in cyradm:
---
sam user.john cyrus lrswipcda
dm user.john
---

When I remove the data by hand in /var/spool/cyrus, and I restart Cyrus,
then the mailbox is removed. But that's not a normal way.

Not sure what's wrong...

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

squatter processes locked

Hello

We have noticed that squatter sometimes hangs.  It's waiting for a lock

root <at> cyrprd6:/etc/cyrus-ugent/conf# strace -p 13858
Process 13858 attached - interrupt to quit
fcntl(13, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}

squatter 13858 cyrus   12uR  REG               0,17        0    
86832239 /run/shm/mail26/lock/domain/u/ugent.be/s/user/a^user/Sent

3223281546 /mail/mail26/imap/domain/u/ugent.be/s/user/a^user/Sent  
Messages/cyrus.index

Are people doing any housekeeping on the squatter processes?  What  
kind?  Kill?

Or is it a bug?

Thanks

Safe to delete lock files in /var/imap/lock ?

I am moving my Cyrus server to new hardware using rsync. I noticed that 
the /var/imap/lock has 2.7G worth of lock files in it. Can the files in 
/var/imap/lock be deleted once Cyrus is shutdown? If so, I will not 
bother rsyncing them to the new server at all.

Special-Use and Cyrus 2.5 git

Is anybody actually using cyrus 2.5 git in production other than FastMail?

I'm planning to do the mailboxes.db format changes before releasing 2.5, so that we don't have to support a
stupid intermediate format.  It's been on my todo list for AGES as one of the final blockers to 2.5 being
released, and I've finally got some spare cycles away from our internal search code.

But it would simplify things considerably if I don't have to write an importer that goes upstream.  I'd just
manually script a conversion of the FastMail servers, and then toss away the intermediate code.

Of course - I can't do that if a bunch of you are already using it - so speak now (in the next week or so) or forever
deal with your specialuse fields going away on upgrade.

(converting from 2.4 xlist_foo: config options is always going to be messy, but that's a given)

Bron.

Outlook 2013 IDLE broken?

Hello,

I'm currently using 2.4.17, and have run earlier versions for years 
without any major problems. Now, I have a few users who are getting 
Outlook 2013 and I am running into problems. Outlook 2010 and earlier 
versions work fine, but in Outlook 2013 IDLE seems broken. Users can 
have messages in the Inbox for hours, but if they have another folder 
selected in Outlook they never get a notification unless they click back 
in to the Inbox. Then, everything updates in Outlook.

Like I said, with Outlook 2010 and earlier message notifications pop up 
instantly. I have looked through earlier posts regarding Outlook 2013 
and checked XLIST config, deleted and recreated Outlook profiles, 
checked account settings, etc. It seems like IDLE support in Outlook 
2013 has some issues, but I thought I would ask if anybody is seeing 
this or has an answer?

Thanks.

Refuse IMAP without encryption

Hello,

Is it possible to refuse IMAP-access without encryption like TLS or SSL?
I think this would be a good idea for security.

And I would like to make an exception for localhost for the webmail. The
webmail (Sogo) can do TLS or SSL, but normally I don't do that for
localhost.

I am using Cyrus 2.4.16 from Debian 7 (Wheezy).

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

Failed authentication logging

I'm seeing a huge increase in the number of brute force attempts to
authenticate my mail server. Mostly the attempts are directed at SMTP,
and because I'm using the sql plugin the failed attempts result in a
auth.log entry like this:
Apr 19 23:10:42 mail sendmail[17780]: sql plugin doing query SELECT
pwd('ana','mail.example.com');;
Apr 19 23:10:42 dell2600 sendmail[17780]: sql plugin: no result found

and a maillog entry like this:
Apr 19 23:10:42 dell2600 sendmail[17770]: r3JMAfHF017770: nrhz.de
[85.214.92.29] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to
MTA

The problem is that the auth.log does not record the IP address of the
offender, and while the maillog does the 'did not issue' string might be
legitimate.

I'm proposing to use fail2ban on the maillog, but it would be much
cleaner to monitor auth.log.

Is there any way to get the offending IP address into auth.log?

saslauthd with openldap

Hello,

I am trying to get saslauthd working to authenticate on openLDAP with
passwords stored with a MD5 hash (base64 encoded) in the field
UserPassword. The passwords are created with smb-ldap so I think it's
normal that they are base64 encoded.

"testsaslauthd -u mailtest -p secret" gives always "authentication
failed".  In auth.log I see always: "Bind failed".

I've tried many options in saslauthd.conf, at the moment it's this:
--------
ldap_servers: ldap://192.168.28.240/
ldap_auth_method: custom
ldap_bind_dn: uid=admin,dc=domain,dc=local
ldap_bind_pw: secret
ldap_search_base: ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=local
ldap_filter: cn=%u
--------

I am using cyrus-sasl2 version 2.1.25.dfsg1-6 from Debian Wheezy.
LDAP is on an old machine (Ubuntu 8.04, slapd version 2.4.7).

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
