lmtpd reporting faulty parse errors
Hi,
I'm using cyrus 2.1.16 on Solaris 8 with sendmail delivering to unix
sockets. I've had this experience before and more often when I was
running 2.1.14 but every now and then lmtpd starts reporting these kind
of errors with syntactically correct sieve scripts -- from my logs:
Feb 15 04:26:00 host.cwi.nl lmtpd[28106]: [ID 358100 local6.info] sieve parse
error for user: line 7: fileinto not required
Feb 15 04:26:00 host.cwi.nl lmtpd[28106]: [ID 358100 local6.info] sieve parse
error for user: line 12: fileinto not required
[...]
This goes on and on until some high line number is reached (and that's very
odd because there aren't even that many lines in the user's sieve script:
[...]
Feb 15 04:26:00 host.cwi.nl lmtpd[28106]: [ID 358100 local6.info] sieve parse
error for user: line 343: fileinto not required
The annoying part, of course, is that the filtering for that particular
user doesn't work and all mail goes to the inbox unfiltered.
Did anyone experience this before? Does anybody have any idea why this
is happening?
TIA
Henk.
P.S. I'll include the relevant setup information below.

This is not what I'm talking about. I stated earlier that the scripts are syntactically correct. In addition to that -- all requirements are in the scripts! I suspect this is a bug and it's load and/or uptime related. Question remains: did anyone experience lmtpd reporting *faulty* sieve perse errors?

I realize this is an old post but since nobody followed up here goes... The errors occur during startup, right? Put a cd $configdirectory (the configdirectory in imap.conf) in the rc script. The cd $configdirectory is a workaround. master fails to chdir() to a safe directory before changing to the cyrus UID and spawning children.

Correct IMO. I moved the tls_sessions and the duplicate delivery databases out of the way before starting cyrus after succesful recovery.

Try this in the sendmail.mc:
define(`confLOCAL_MAILER',`cyrus')dnl
define(`CYRUS_MAILER_PATH',`/path/to/bin/procmail')
define(`CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS', `A5@')dnl
define(`CYRUS_MAILER_ARGS', `procmail -p /path/to/etc/cyrus/procmail.global
CYRUSUSER=$u')
MAILER(smtp)
MAILER(cyrus)
#!EOF
And maybe this in the procmail.global:
##
## GLOBAL procmail recipes
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=/var/tmp/procmail.global.log
###
## Which rc files should we include
#INCLUDERC="/path/to/etc/rc/$CYRUSUSER-lists.rc"
#INCLUDERC="/path/to/etc/rc/$CYRUSUSER.rc"
#INCLUDERC="/path/to/etc/rc/$CYRUSUSER-default.rc"
###
## Set Cyrus IMAP Variables
DELIVER=/path/to/cyrus/bin/deliver
SPAMASS=/path/to/spamassassin/bin/spamc
:0fw
|${SPAMASS} -u cyrus
:0
|${DELIVER} -e -a $CYRUSUSER -m user.$CYRUSUSER
#!EOF
But, I would suggest kicking both procmail and deliver out and start
thinking about delivering via LMTP, use sendmail with the milter API
for spamtagging (which you didn't mention - I know - but couldn't resist ;)
Delivery with LMTP would look like this in the sendmail.mc:
define(`CYRUS_MAILER_PATH',`[IPC]')
define(`CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS', `A5@/:|SmXz')dnl
define(`CYRUS_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/run/lmtp')
Done to a unix socket (lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/lmtp" prefork=1)
in the SERVICES part in your cyrus.conf.

Yes this means you are using procmail as a local mailer.

But it *is* possible to use procmail to deliver to the imapserver.
What you need to do is put all the filtering and spamassassin stuff
before a final catch-all that does the delivery.
Here's one way to do it:
##
## GLOBAL procmail recipes
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=/var/tmp/procmail.global.log
###
## Which rc files should we include
#INCLUDERC="/usr/local/etc/cyrus/rc/$CYRUSUSER-lists.rc"

IMO it's better to kick out deliver altogether, configure sendmail to
use cyrus as your local mailer, deliver through lmtp and talk to
SA through a milter, but that's a different chapter.

Install a new vacation and see what exactly changes on the cyrus box.
Check 'sievedir' in imapd.conf and check for a 'default' softlink to
a script in that location ($sievedir/f/foo/my.script).

Are you sure there's no .forward with a unix vacation pipe in that specific
