By reading the source, I determined that the mupdate master maintains the same mailboxes database that's used for local mailboxes. That's why it can't be run on a unified server or on a backend server. Giving the mupdate master its own mailboxes database would solve this problem. In that case, each unified or frontend server would require a mupdate slave to synchronize its mailboxes file to the master copy. > I got around this problem by running the mupdate master under a > separate instance of Cyrus master, with its own imapd.conf file.

By reading the source, I determined that only the mupdate slave is able to synchronize a local mailboxes database with the master copy. So, I moved the mupdate master to the backend server, again running it under a separate instance of Cyrus master, with its own imapd.conf file. Now everything works. The mailboxes database on the unified server now contains both local and remote mailboxes. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking- ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
