lmtpdengine.c
Concerning previous msgs --- the problem was that I've modified lmtpdengine.c and changed 452 4.2.2 Over quota to 550 4.2.2 Over quota Basically, I always did that since I do not want overquota messages to stay in queue. However, 2.1.0pre didn't like this change and now in case of overquota issues both "550 4.2.2 Over quota" and then User unknown, which is treated by sendmail as User unknown. Is there anything I should change in sendmail config, is it a bug or a feature? Sincerely, Nick
RE: lmtpdengine.c
Yeah, well, the thing is that most of the users who are overquoted will never ever come back anymore. I have a system with >100k users, so you can imagine whats going on if I collect overquote e-mails. I guess hotmail.com sends them back immidetely as well.

Because you're sending back a 550 code, even the sending MTA won't retry. Cyrus 2.1 now checks the quota at the time of the RCPT TO: command, as well as after the DATA command (in case the usage changed in between). I haven't thought about the consequences of what you are trying to do with 2.1, but I'd guess that you're confusing your MTA by spitting back a permanent failure to RCPT TO: (usually unknown user) because of an over quota issue.

back to lmtpd problems
I've discussed this problem some time ago, known as forking problem. Turned
out to be db3 locking problem or whatever. Anyway, here's something I
experience right now:
Let me begin with my system description.
It's Linux RedHat 7.0 with kernel 2.4.2-0.1.28smp running at dual p3/550
with 768 mb ram and several scsi hdds. There are >10 registered users in
the system, however only half are active. Currently I am running:
1) cyrus-imapd 2.0.16
2) pam_mysql
3) libdb-3.3
4) sendmail 8.12.0
5) kaspersky avp for linux
6) poprelay
Sendmail works in queue mode, -q1m
During that minute it is queuing e-mails everything is fine -- e-mails are
checked for viruses and if everything is fine, placed in queue. At peak
time, the system receives up to 300-400 e-mails per that minute. Once it
starts to deliver the e-mails locally, the problems begin. sendmail opens
huge number of connections to localhost, which look like that:
...
sendmail: ./f8RAK8Jw015602 localhost: client DATA sta
sendmail: ./f8RAJ81C015613 localhost: client DATA sta
sendmail: ./f8RAJ8WU015726 localhost: client DATA sta
sendmail: ./f8RAJ8Vm015734 localhost: client DATA sta
sendmail: ./f8RAK372016522 localhost: client DATA sta
sendmail: ./f8RAK6pN016557 localhost: client DATA sta
sendmail: ./f8RAK6fs016567 localhost: client DATA sta
...
and the system launches approx the same number of lmtpds.
The e-mails are being delivered, but EXTREMELY slow. I don't know where the
problem is, however the system is unable to deliver more than 100-200
e-mails per minute. As you understand, while it is delivering 100-200
e-mails from queue, 300-400 new e-mails come. At next minute it opens even
more lmtpds and within 30-40 minutes it just dies with memory overflow
message.
I've tried everything, but don't know where the problem is. Here are my
config files:
cyrus.conf:

RE: back to lmtpd problems
Francesc, Thanks for the idea, however the tests show that disk speed is quite enough (and I guess there are no much faster drives I can get on the market right now :). The problem could be in db3 locking or something like that, which is linux specific. As for sendmail-->postfix change -- I might want to try that, however I am not experienced in postfix and the system is quite critical, it's not that easy. Anyway, this looks like cyrus problem -- the fact is that sendmail works FASTER than lmtpd causes the bottlenecks.

I've had no such scenario but let me guess something (that could be completely wrong). My bet is your problem is in disk speed. You have a limit of concurrent delivering caused by your drive. When it reaches that limit it gets worse. I'd try to set a max number of concurrent delivering lmtpd processes in sendmail. I'd also buy faster scsi drives. Another thing you could consider is replace sendmail and start using postfix. I've seen reports of incredible number of mails delivered and I've been using it in many servers happilly. It supports cyrus, lmtpd and avp. In the postfix mailing list I've seen people who have a lot of users like you. Maybe you should check the postfix archives or subscribe to the list.

nfs and spool hash
I am planning upgrading my system and switching to new IDE RAID 5 disks. I've read that mounting imap spool over NFS is not a good idea due to NFS locking problems, however the FAQ was pretty out-of-date. I've got several Q's: 1) Is NFS still locking on high-volume traffic? 2) If I add hashimapspool: true to my imapd.conf, then create all dirs like a/ b/ c/ and so on and move user dirs accordingly, shall it work? Is there a tool for doing that automatically? I have 5 imapspool partitions with total of ~103.000 accounts. Sincerely, Nick

RE: Many domains, one Cyrus
The idea is to bind each domain to separate ip address, set these ip addresses to single machine, set up master to listen to different ips and launch imapd, popd with -C paramters, that point to corresponding config files, which contain different spool dirs. Dig this maillist archive, it has pretty good instructions on doing this.

For example, we have a client named Chris Primus, [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have another client, Christopher Secundus, [EMAIL PROTECTED] These are obviously not the same people, and their mail should go to different mailboxes. The obvious and oft-suggested method for this is to create mailboxes named chris.client1 and chris.client2 and map, either with aliases or LDAP, [EMAIL PROTECTED]>chris.client1. This is fine and works well once you get it set up (I have). However, both Chris's have existing accounts with us, both Chris's pay us a lot of money and both Chris's are not technically savvy and will get very annoyed if I call them up and tell them that they have to change their Outlook mail settings to log in as a new, harder to remember username to check their mail.

Re: Problem with cyrus: daemon not responding - ctl_mboxlist running
Which version of cyrus are you using? And why do you say that the problem is with cyrus-sasl? ctl_mboxlist is using cyrus-imapd mailbox database. You can try to kill ctl_mboxlist, then go to /usr/cyrus/bin do su cyrus and run ./ctl_cyrusdb -r. I guess in older versions it was ctl_mboxlist -r but I am not sure. If that doesn't help, you can dump mailboxes to a text file by ./ctl_mboxlist -d -f mailboxdump.txt, then rename /var/imap/mailboxes.db to mailboxes.db.old and run ./ctl_mboxlist -u To: "info-cyrus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 18:43 Subject: Problem with cyrus: daemon not responding - ctl_mboxlist running > Hi everybody. > > We suffer a problem with Cyrus-sasl. > > Taper (backup application) completly froze the server and we need to make a hard > reboot.

moving from 2.0 to 2.1.3
We are planning to switch production server from 2.0.16 to 2.1.3/skiplist. The system has about 60 mailboxes and is quite heavily loaded (seeing alot of db lockers). Are there any hidden catches people i should avoid? Besides converting mailboxes file using cvt_cyrusdb is there anything else I should know about? How about sieve scripts? Are these compatbile? Also, is it recommended to switch to skiplist only for mailbox file or for the rest as well? Sincerely, Nick

sendmail vs postfix
Hey everyone, Finally, I have upgraded to 2.1.3. I use skiplist for mailboxes and duplicate db now. Cyrus works together with sendmail and the server is pretty heavily loaded. mailboxes.db file is over 50Mb. The system receives about 150-350 emails per minute, sendmail is set up it deliverymode=q with 1 minute interval. At peak times load average was going to 15-20, now it's a bit less in average, however sometimes goes even higher. Anyway -- isn't postfix supposed to be better for such high loads? I've tried to install postfix 1.1.7 (lmtp as mailbox_transport) however when load avg went to 50 I stopped it and returned to sendmail. I know disk speed is essential here -- well, it is fast. Any comments? Maybe Exim will be better? I guess I will have to put MTA on another machine, otherwise it keeps getting even worse. Sincerely, Nick PS. sorry, maybe the message is not for this mailing list -- i just wanna know which one works better with cyrus.

2.1.3 --> 2.1.0 sieve ?
Since I was experiencing serious performance problems with 2.1.3, particullary with lmtpd I had to downgrade to 2.1.

Sieve doens't work anymore. Any comments? Sincerely, Nick
Re: 2.1.3 --> 2.1.0 sieve ?
My fault, didn't put sendmail binary back. Anyway, what's wrong with new 2.1.3? I guess it's lmtpd that is not doing good. Now, when it's back to cyrus 2.1.0 the load is stable and is about 1. Once I switch to 2.1.3 the load is ok (also around 1) till the moment sendmail starts to deliver mails and calls lmtpd. After that point I get about 100-120 lmtpd's in memory and load avg about 10. Mail is delivered normally. After some time, if there is no new mail passing by lmtp processes die and load stabilizies again. At peak time, when there are always messages in queue, load is always around 30, which is not acceptable. I've tried latest cyrus from cvs and also tried 2.1.3 with flock() patch. No effect.

forking problem
Hi! I use cyrus 2.0.12 + pam_mysql, sendmail 8.11.0 on a dual p3/550 with 1G ram (linux redhat7, kernel 2.4.2). I've faced a very strange problem -- when the system is under heavy load (however, there is ~300Mb of free memory and free ~50% cpu) master process is not forking new processes or doing it in a very strange way. If i telnet to port 143 it just opens the connection but no cyrus' prompt... it might delay for 40-50 seconds. Meanwhile sendmail tries to deliver local mail and opens many connections to localhost that eat memory, cpu, swap and then my box dies. If I kill sendmail when there are 900 of them and then start it again after 5-10 minutes it's ok... So i suppose there are very many simultanous requests to master which it can't handle. Has anyone experienced something similar? Maybe it's a Linux problem, but I have no clue what to do. Nick Ustinov [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.videinfra.com
RE: forking problem
Basically, we are fighting that for some time already. I've set up sendmail to delivermode=q and it helped a little, since sendmail is not forking tons of lmtpds this way. Could you tell me what is the glibc version you have? btw, I've tried latest cyrus from cvs -- didn't really help.

RE: forking problem cd..
well, it seems that this problem is only experienced by redhat users. i
played with different kernels, same result. what was cyrus ver that worked
fine for you? i tried 2.0.9 - it was just like 2.0.12.

Subject: forking problem cd..
Hello fellow listmembers,
We switched to a new version of the cyrus imapd (version 2.0.12) and i think
we have encounted the 'locking problem' that is being discussed here.
What we are seeing here is that it takes a long while for the greetings to
show even after the connection has been established. A whole lot of tracing
and debugging turned up that the process is waiting to get access to the
mailboxes.db (and related files like __db* and log.*). Carefull reading and
backtracking through the sourcecodes show that the problem probably is
located in the db3 lib somewhere. Following is a piece of the strace:
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
open("/var/imap/db/log.02", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 5
fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
_llseek(5, 9426640, [9426640], SEEK_SET) = 0
write(5, "\225\326\217\0a\316\"E;\0\0\0\215\0\0\0~5\0\200\0\0\0\0"..., 59) =
59
fsync(5)= 0
After adding some debug code in the pop3d we found out that the problem has
to be somewhere in the mboxlist_open function (mboxlist.c:1707) most likely
in the DB->open call. I suspect that the select in the strace is called by
the function __os_sleep in the sleepycat DB code.
We tried several things with amounts of prespawed processen and limiting the
amount of concurrent lmtpds etc. The best effective was disabling postfix
completely. Everything ran smoothly, unfortunately it is not really an
option. Possibly the problem is related to the lmtpd code somehow. By the
way, the proposed 'singeinstancestore' solution did not change anything
here.
I hope this information is helpfull to anyone who is researching this
problem. If anyone has made any progress in solving this problem i would
greatly appreciate a posting on the list or to private email. I have to make
a descision whether we keep trying to solve this problem or downgrade to the
old mailserver again.

hardware:
Compaq DL380

RE: forking problem cd..
yep, 1.5 worked fine for me as well (except 40-minute long mailbox creation
in a 20Mb mailboxes text file ;-). I thought there is 2.x version that
works. seems there is no. so, that's db3 problem.

RE: forking problem and SleepyCat
I've recompiled 2.0.12 with the latest changes in cyrus_db3. It works much better now, no problems so far. Before when there was 60-70 lmtpds master was not forking new processes. I've seen a situation with 150 lmtpds + imapds + pop3ds today and it worked very well and was able to manage all processes. However, I still have DeliveryMode=q in my sendmail.

It's quite hard to get conclusive evidence to prove its faster or not. But most tests do show an increase in speed, on average about a 15% increase. When the server is heavily loaded we still have to wait around 6 seconds for a greeting from the pop3d. We used postal to test the performance with various settings. After a lot of calculations we found out that we have ~7 concurrent smtp sessions inbound to the mailserver (all local deliveries) and ~25 concurrent pop/imap users during normal hours. With those settings in postal we were not able to reproduce the problem to our liking. What we really need is a live test, but i can't do that here. My users would kill me ;) Maybe someone who didn't fallback to the old version (1.6.xx) can do some tests. Helmut maybe? Thanks for the quick fix anyway!

RE: forking problem and SleepyCat
I did try and had to switch it back to queue. Maybe my system is short of resources at some point, however it has 1Gig of RAM and two 550Mhz processors. Before it was not spawning new processes in case there was plenty of alive lmpds even if I had free memory/cpu. Now it was spawning well till it ran out of mem and out of swap. Then my box almost died, had to restart sendmail and kill all connections to localhost. It is obvious that it started to work much better and faster, since spawned lmtpds actually DO work, but again, lmtpd is slower than sendmail and that causes problems.

RE: renm and subfolders
Yeah, moving mailboxes is a pain :) I had the same problem when I used to run 1.5-style mailboxes and with 2.0.12. For me it was since my disks were running out of space, so I had to create new partition on a new disk and move mailboxes there. Not sure how to do that in case you are in need of "selective move". Anyway, here's what I did: 1) export to old-style mailboxes file using ctl_mboxlist -d (for 2.0x) 2) Open file in a good and fast text editor, for example UltraEdit, sort it 3) Estimate, approximately which mailboxes you want moved, lets say from letter a to m 4) Cut them out from file to another text file 5) Do some regexp replaces (if someone wants it I might have ultraedit-style regexps I used) 6) Merge files back 7) Produce shell script from the "cut" file with something like "mv user.dir /another/partition"'s using regexp's 8) Stop mail system 9) Run shell script with moves 10) Import back mailboxes file using ctl_mboxlist if needed Took me 1 hour to produce all necessary steps from scratch.
