Yes, I've tried this but it didn't work...
btw I'm using FreeBSD-6.1-STABLE
and for me is /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual
and in this file I have all accounts like this:

=================================
user1 <at> domain user1 <at> domain
user2 <at> domain user2 <at> domain
user3 <at> domain user3 <at> domain

How to remove IOERROR sieve log lines?

Hi all.

I have noticed these log lines and I'd like to get rid of them:

Sep  1 00:27:24 mail lmtpunix[737]: IOERROR: fstating sieve script
/var/lib/sieve/v/v^gogoljev/defaultbc: No such file or directory
Sep  1 00:46:24 mail lmtpunix[910]: IOERROR: fstating sieve script
/var/lib/sieve/v/v^gogoljev/defaultbc: No such file or directory

I know what they are, the user has no sieve scripts and consequently no default script. Can this be turned
off? Most of my users do not have Sieve scripts.

Nix.

To list admins: Reply-to address

Hello admins.

Could you do something about the Reply-to address? The way things are now, when I hit "Reply" button, I am
sending mail to the original author of the message. What I subconsciously expect, is to send to the list, instead.

Is this a desired "modus operandi" or it's something that can be fixed?

Nix.

Re: Berkeley DB upgrade - 2nd try

Hi everyone,

Another follow-up to my monologue thread - I've had a few helpful 
replies off-list though, and comments (on or off list) are very much 
appreciated.

The above procedure is not the correct way to go about, I've found.

There will only be connections from localhost (as You can see in my
config, sieve only listens to localhost) since if there will ever be a
websieve or the like, it's going to run on the same machine.

> In you first post I can't see information about "sasl" and/or "STARTTLS"

You are absolutely right, I do not get any sasl-methods and/or STARTTLS.
I did use to get STARTTLS until I disabled it via the certificate-line.

SQL Storage for fast retrieval from archives

Hi,
  I am trying to use cyrus for my mail archives ( typically 1GB-10GB per
user ) for say 100 users 

What is the best way of storing mails. There will not be much of
add/delete from these archives but retrieval has to be fast on header or
body search. 

Cyrus with the current storage ( one mail per file ) is good enough for
header search , but fails on body search. 

Does cyrus have an option to store in MySQL etc. I think body search
will be much faster with SQL

Thanks
Ram

don't hit the reply button, hit the "reply to list" button.

yes, this is desired.  read

Most people these days deliver with LMTP from their MTA; see lmtpd(8).
And they use Sieve for filtering, instead of procmail.
