I am delivering mail into subfolders with plus addressing, using lmtp over Unix domain sockets. I discovered that in order to do this I needed to, e.g. (in cyradm) setacl INBOX.comp anyone p (from a message by Phil Pennock on exim-users 2006-04-22). Otherwise they end up in the main INBOX. I thought that delivery by Unix domain sockets was done as an administrator, and no additional rights would be necessary. Is my understanding of administrator rights wrong, or is something off about my setup with the sockets? The Cyrus IMAP server FAQ says This submailbox must allow the posting user the 'p' right (generally, this means 'anyone' must have the 'p' right), otherwise the message will just be filed into the user's INBOX. The Overview says Alternatively you may deliver via LMTP to a unix domain socket, and the connection will be preauthenticated as an administrative user (and access control is accomplished by controlling access to the socket). I'm using exim 4.6.13-7 and cyrus 2.2.13-10 on Debian GNU/Linux; all operations are on the same machine. Since I discoverd a few things about how to get this working, this setup info may be helpful to others with exim + cyrus. imapd.conf includes admins: cyrus exim's config includes the router imap_user: debug_print = "R: imap_user for $local_part@$domain" driver = accept local_part_suffix_optional = true local_part_suffix = +* local_parts = +imap_users transport = cyrus with transport # Deliver to local cyrus IMAP server via LMTP cyrus: debug_print = "T: cyrus for $local_part@$domain" driver = lmtp delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add rcpt_include_affixes = yes user = cyrus socket = /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp batch_max = 40 When I send a message to ross+comp@localhost the exim log shows 2007-05-14 11:32:31 1HnfLQ-0000GB-Bu => ross+comp <ross+comp@localhost> R=imap_user T=cyrus and the cyrus log shows May 14 11:24:50 corn cyrus/lmtpunix[752]: Delivered: <200705141124.48089.RossBoylan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> to mailbox: user.ross I also tried ross+INBOX.comp When I added the "anyone p" acl shown at the top of the message, this finally worked. Ross Boylan P.S. My original version of the router lacked the suffix options and the transport lacked the affixes option. It would be nice if cyradm had a feature allowing recursive setting of acls. ---- 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
