Hello everyone! I was trying to make some test over backing up and recovery a simple IMAP server inside a LAN. First I have uninstalled cyrus-imapd and cyrus-sasl-saslathd RPMs from my SuSE 10.1. Second I've deleted cyrus user from my system. I overrided the folowing directories: /var/spool/imap /var/lib/imap /var/lib/sieve with the ones of te system I would recover. Then I've created a plaintext backup of mailboxes.db using (as root): su -cyrus -c "ctl_mailboxlist -d" > mailboxlist.txt I've build a database from the plaintext using: cvt_cyrusdb mailboxlist.txt Now I can connect to Cyrus with: telnet localhost 143 as every user listed with: sasldblistusers except as cyrus. I think this is the source for strange messages I find in /valr/log/messages like: lmtpunix[21679]: IOERROR: fstating sieve script /var/lib/sieve/u/utente/defaultbc: No such file or directory My server IMAP can receive mails from inside and outside the LAN. Anyway, it's unconfortable I receive: 0: NO "authentication failed" for the command: testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p cyrus Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
