can't subscribe to IMAP folder after syncing it from another server

[lkolchin]

Hello 
All,
 
I've installed 
Cyrus-IMAP with users on MySQL DB on SLES 9 and everything is working fine 
except the following.
Users connecting to 
my server using several e-mail clients and external Horde IMP (it is on another 
server managed by another person).
For some users, I've 
synced their folders created by Horde IMP on another server with UW-IMAP running 
on it, with their accounts on my Cyrus-IMAP server.
I did the 
syncronization with the imapsync utility (http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/).
 
The problem is that 
I can't subscribe to these folders (synced from another server) but I can use 
them via Horde IMP web interface.
When I try to 
subscribe to these folders (folder 'mail for example) via OE (Outlook 
Express) I get "Could not show 'mail'. The server refused to show it. The 
folder might already be shown."
And the details 
show:
Subscribe: Mailbox 
does not exist
 
Configuration:   Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   
Server: mail2.myserver.com   
User name: testuser3   Protocol: IMAP   Port: 
143   Secure(SSL): 0   Code: 
800cccd2
 
But the mailbox 
exist and I can see it, this is the listing:
 
drwx--   2 cyrus mail 144 Sep 11 12:35 
Draftsdrwx--   2 cyrus mail 144 Sep 11 13:11

And its 
testuser3.sub looks like:

Itemsuser.testuser3.newuser.testuser3.new.son_of_newuser.testuser3.test.new

Below is the listing 
from another account. I've created there 'mail' folder via OE (didn't synced it 
from another server) and its permissions seems similar to permissions of 'mail' 
folder above, and I can see it in the OE:
-rw---   1 cyrus mail 849927 Sep

testuser4.sub looks like:

What is the reason for this strange behavior and how to 
solve it?

RE: Tutorial on how to backup/restore cyrus

[lkolchin]

Thank you guys for all your suggestions.

I've read this http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/Backup 
article.

I'm running SLES 9 with ReiserFS (noatime,acl,user_xattr,notail options)
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap

So lets say I convert my mailboxes.db to a text file like this:
su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -d" > /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt

But next steps are very unclear:

Now I need to do a snapshot of the /var/lib/imap and /var/spool/imap to make 
proper backup.
I have a production environment so I think stopping the master process is very 
problematic.

A) So if anyone have some scripts with the snapshot feature who can share them, 
it would be nice to see them here.
B) Also any scripts with the minimal downtime for the cyrus are welcomed.
C) Any snapshot techniques (on reiserfs) are also very interesting and I like 
to here them.



P.S.
Thank you Vittorio for your script, but you are stopping the cyrus and I think 
it's very problematic in production environment. 


Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

Hi Leon,

There is (one of many) way(s) how you can perfom a backup:

This script is only for the mailboxes (/var/spool/mail/imap in my case) and the 
files in /var/imap (for example: mailboxes.db)


#/bin/bash

#first do an unstable copy  (just to reduce the downtime of cyrus later)

tmplog=/root/backupdir/tmpimaplog

echo "start backup of imap..." >> $tmplog 2>&1

echo "rsync of /var/imap" >> $tmplog 2>&1
rsync -a --delete /var/imap /raid/mail_backup/tmpstore/varimap/ \   
>> 
$tmplog 2>&1

echo "rsync of /raid/mail/imap" >> $tmplog 2>&1
rsync -a --delete /var/spool/mail/imap \
/raid/mail_backup/tmpstore/varspoolimap/ >> $tmplog 2>&1


#now we do an rsync to "stabilize" the backup

#shut down cyrus
echo "stopping cyrus" >> $tmplog 2>&1
/usr/local/bin/cyrus stop >> $tmplog 2>&1


#sync with rsync to get a 'stable' backup

#
rsync -a --delete /var/imap /raid/mail_backup/tmpstore/varimap/ >> $tmplog 2>&1

rsync -a --delete /var/spool/mail/imap \ 
/raid/mail_backup/tmpstore/varspoolimap/ >> $tmplog 2>&1

#start cyrus
echo "starting cyrus..." >> $tmplog 2>&1 /usr/local/bin/cyrus start >> $tmplog 
2>&1



#finally we move the whole temporary backup of the disk onto a tape:
#(requires an own script)

#do the rest... (like a normal backup, but with the archived paths in imap.list

echo "starting rest of backup..." >> $tmplog 2>&1

/root/backupdir/backup_imap

echo "...done." >> $tmplog 2>&1

# clean the temporary directory
rm -Rf /raid/mail_backup/tmpstore/*




I hope you can use it... If you have questions just feel free to ask.

best regards,

Vittorio

RE: Tutorial on how to backup/restore cyrus

[lkolchin]

Hello All,
Thanks for all responses.

After reading your posts on the issue and reading some more stuff, I'll make a 
summary below:

1) I'll make a dump of all mailboxes to the text file:

su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -d" > /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt

And I can restore it with:

su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -u" < /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt

2) I will make a regular backups (in my case with DSM client) of 
/var/spool/imap/ and /var/lib/imap/, without stopping cyrus, in this case I 
endanger myself in some data inconsistency and maybe some e-mails lost (which 
were in process while backup was running).
Please correct me on the above if there are some other dangers I'm not aware 
of???

3) In case of disaster I can just copy mail directly from the backup to the 
mail store directory (/var/spool/imap/user/%username%), 
And run:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -rf user/username


4) All quotas (in /var/lib/imap/quota/%firstletter of username%/)will not be 
reconstructed, so I'll need to do it manually.

5) All subscription and seen info (in /var/lib/imap/user/%firstletter of 
username%/) will not be reconstructed, but I could restore it from the regular 
backup.

Please read my summary and tell me if the things right?
Should I be aware of other things I didn't mentioned here and what scripts to 
implement for this case?


Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

I think the point is that, short of using some of the replication stuff from 
pre-2.3 in CVS, there's no proper way of doing a hot backup.  All of the 
snapshotting techniques (whether filesystem snapshots, rsync or
otherwise) require a little bit of downtime to complete, but are employed 
*specifically* to minimize downtime.

Hi,

I would suggest to use the solution from web-cyradm list:
http://www.web-cyradm.org/pipermail/web-cyradm/2004-November/017965.html

There is very nice and multipurpose script to deal with  quotas.
It's abaut integration of quota management for MTA (postfix) + Cyrus.

Hi,

I would like to implement the quota checking within my MTA which is exim and 
not use cyrus quota

what would be the less consuming way to do it ?

- check the quota.db  and extract the current mailboxe size for a particular 
user ?
- connect with tcp on imap and read the current quota value for the user ?

if the effective quota is > of a value defined into my ldap I deny the delivery 
to cyrus-imap

Thank you for you advices

RE: SQUAT failed and loglevel issue

[lkolchin]

Hi,
This is what people say on kolab list on TSQUAT failed' issue 
http://www.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-devel/2005-August/004233.html:

QUOTE:
"It simply means that the foler is not indexed, and the logging is turned on at 
debug level, I have long sicne changed the logging to be at info level it is 
just to much noice otherwise on really busy servers.

you may also want to run squatter -s every night to handle your indexing, nut 
note i do NOT recommend this, it may not be good for your environment so you 
need to test it on testsystems first." 

So I think I need only to tell cyrus to use 'info' loglevel instead of 'debug' 
(I've already mentioned it).
Anyone know how to do it on SuSE?

Leon Kolchnsky

Hi 
Leon,
 
This is still an SQUAT 
issue.
 
SQUAT aware 
applications expect the index file and complain if they can’t find 
it.
 
I manage several large 
scale installations (500k+ msgs per mailbox, not too many 
mailboxes…).
 
I can tell you the 
SQUAT does make the difference in these large mailboxes, apparently less effect 
on smaller mailboxes.
 
It makes text search 
within the folder lightning fast, I even have a weekly cron job that runs 
it…
 
I think the best 
solution for you is just to run squatter once so there is an index file present 
where it needs to be, and the error will disappear.

Dudi

I don't understand why sasl won't find the DB. 

Another Problem is the command to connect to the Server.

When i type in the following command to the Server I get the following output:

 Hi,

Try to create /etc/postfix/sasl directory.
Create there file smtpd.conf with these lines:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

Make shure /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf looks the same (this is the SuSE location).

Restart saslauthd and cyrus and try again.

The strange thing is the "evildad saslauthd[20837]:

So many questions, Sorry.

Subject: formail not parsing folder

I'm trying to convert email from our U Wash IMAP server over to Cyrus, using 
several Perl utilities mentioned in the O'Reilly IMAP book.  One of these, 
folderxfer, uses formail to split the U Wash mbox file into separate messages.  
This is working fine, except for a couple of people's "Sent Items" folders, 
which formail doesn't seem to be able to parse into messages.  Apparently, 
"Sent Items" is created by our Horde/IMP webmail software.  Has anyone seen 
this?  Any solutions?  I've tried various combinations of formail switches, but 
nothing seems to split these folders correctly.  Thanks.

RE: formail not parsing folder

[lkolchin]

Hi,

You have to know your users passwords, but..
I've implemented web-cyradm solution(users in MySQL+Cyrus+virt. domains) and 
moved users mail and folders this way (from UW-IMAP).
1) I've changed all users passwords in shadow file to one I know.
2) I've changed all users passwords in MySQL to the same one I know, and did 
the syncronisation with imapsync.
3) Restored all passwords back.
Should work fine even with several hundred users.

Note: I've used "crypt" in user passwords so there was no problem to transfer 
DES passwords from shadow file to MySQL.

Leon Kolchinsky

Thanks, Leon.

It looks to me like either I'd need to know our users' passwords, or have them 
transfer their own mail folders, if I use imapsync.  Is this correct?  Or is 
there a way to use imapsync to transfer our users' mail folders without knowing 
their passwords?  Have you used imapsync to transfer folders for several 
hundred users?

How to make cerificate for client installation?

[lkolchin]

Hello 
All,
 
I'm using SMTP-AUTH 
with TLS wrapper with Self Signed Certificate on my system.
 
I want users to be 
able to install certificate on their computer (on OE or another mail-client) and 
not press "Yes" on the nag screen on every login.
How can I do it so 
client certificate only contain the public portion of the certificate (so it is 
secure to publish this certificate on the net)?
 
Background 
Info:
This is how I've 
created certificates:
# openssl req -new 
-x509 -sha1 -extensions v3_ca -nodes -days 999 -out cert.pem
# ls.  
..  cert.pem  privkey.pem# cat privkey.pem cert.pem > 
/etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem# mv -f privkey.pem /etc/ssl/certs/skey.pem# 
chown cyrus:mail /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem# chmod 600 
/etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem
 
In my imapd.conf 
I've added:
tls_cert_file: 
/etc/ssl/certs/cert.pemtls_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pemtls_ca_file: 
/etc/ssl/certs/cert.pemtls_ca_path: /etc/ssl/certs

RE: How to make cerificate for client installation?

[lkolchin]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

I've found this on http://www.nyetwork.org/wiki/ssl_root_ca_new

"Create a PKCS#7 format of the Root CA's public certificate:

This will allow clients to easily import it into their their PKI storage 
places, such as Outlook Express and Netscape.

cd /usr/local/ssl.ca
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile ca.crt -outform DER -out ca.pkcs7

ca.pkcs7 will only contain the public portion of the CA's certificate, so you 
can email it to whomever with instructions on how to import it, put it up for 
download, or whatever."

I used this syntax,
but it seems that I can't import it into Outlook Express certificates (I get 
'success' message but no such certificate created).

Any help?

Regsrds,
Leon Kolchinsky

  This depends on the client used and it's highly specific. And has nothing to 
do with cyrus.

> Background Info:
> This is how I've created certificates:
> # openssl req -new -x509 -sha1 -extensions v3_ca -nodes -days 999 -out

> /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem
  

 It is enough to provide the client with the certificate and import it into 
it's trust database (as I said, depends on the application).
Depending on the application you might want to convert it to DER (with openssl 
x509 -in ... -out cert.der -outform der ).
 The private part is the privkey.pem and that you should keep safe.

 For windows (OE) you have to use the mmc program, TB has a special  settings 
tab which lets you import in PEM format, I don't know about  other clients on 
windows.

SASL on CentOS4.1


Hi List
 
I recently tried to get the 
distributed rpm’s for CyrusImap, sendmail and cyrus sasl that came with 
CentOS4.1 to act as my IMAP/POP3 mail-server.
 
I’m fairly familiar with this 
combination, coming from RHEL3 with source-built cyrus and sendmail running just 
fine; however, when I saw the rpm’s that came with CentOS4.1, I thought it would 
be good to use rpm’s since yum could do the updating for 
me…
 
I got everything to work fairly 
well, except the authentication; users can successfully authenticate to collect 
mail via POP3 and IMAP, but when trying to send thru the server, the 
authentication fails with the following:

RE: How to make cerificate for client installation?

[lkolchin]

Hi Simon,

Your method is working, but this way you are sending also private key and I 
believe it's insecure.
I've found the 'easy way' of installing the certificate:
There is an easy solution to avoiding clicking 'yes' every time-
Close Outlook 
Open up Internet Explorer, go to https://mail.goober.com:995, this should be 
the same server name you entered as the mail server, and the same name the 
certificate has been generated under 
you will be challenged about the validity of the secure certificate in the same 
manner as with Outlook 
Click view certificate, add certificate, automatic, it should be now added to 
the root certificate store 
Go back to outlook, open up, away you go without any future warnings

Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

Hi Leon,

this is how I created a pfx file for Outlook users:
cat cyrus-imapd.pem postfix.pem slapd.pem webmail.pem > infile.pem openssl 
pkcs12 -in infile.pem -certfile infile.pem -export -out outfile.pfx

The pfx file can then be imported and I've been told it works.

Simon

UTF folders created via OE and SquirrelMail

[lkolchin]

Hello 
All,
 
When I create Imap 
folder in Hebrew lang. via SquirrelMail it looks O.K. in the  SquirrelMail 
interface and I can work with it.
But when I use 
Outlook Express, this folder looks like gibberish.
The same happens 
if I create Hebrew named folder in OE, it looks like gibberish in 
SquirrelMail interface.
 
My system 
is SLES 9, and it supports UTF. I can create hebrew named folders on the FS 
level. But both folders created in OE and in the SquirrelMail looks like 
gibberish on the FS level.
 
Is there a command I 
can use to instruct Cyrus to create folders in UTF?
Or may be there is 
another solution.
 
P.S.:
All packages in my 
installations are SuSE made rpms.
 
 
Best 
Regards,
 
Leon 
Kolchinsky

Thanks Sebastian and Sava,

It is a SquirrelMail problem:
$default_charset = 'utf-8'; in config.php fixed that!!!

well, at least one of them must be wrong. IMAP folder names are encoded in 
modified UTF-7, not in "regular" UTF-8.

That has nothing to do with it.

That's to be expected.

No.

Not really. At least one of the apps has a bug. Unless you can get a fixed 
version, there's nothing you can do. Mulberry (R.I.P.) does the right thing. So 
if you want to find out which app has the bug, download Mulberry and compare:

SQUATTER script and non English folders

[lkolchin]

Hello 
All,
 
I have 2 
questions:
 
1) I'm running the 
following script as a cronjob every night:
#!/bin/bashsu - 
cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter -r user/*"
 
But, it creates 
cyrus.squat file only in subfolders of the users INBOX, i.e. 
/var/spool/imap/user/username/ doesn't include cyrus.squat but 
/var/spool/imap/user/username/Drafts/ does include cyrus.squat after running the 
above script.
 
What's wrong with my 
syntax?
 
2) When I create 
Hebrew named folders via OE or web client, it's look like this in the FS : 
&BdcF0wXpBdUF6g-
but if I want to cd 
to this folder I get an error:
# cd 
&BdcF0wXpBdUF6g-[1] 14268-bash: BdcF0wXpBdUF6g-: command not 
found[1]+  
Done    
cd
Is possible to 
access these folders via command line?
 
 
Best 
Regards,
 
Leon 
Kolchinsky

Add something like the following to the EVENTS section of cyrus.conf:

squat   cmd="squatter -r user" at=0300


This will run the given command at 3am every day.

Why not run this from cyrus.conf as an EVENT?  There is no good reason that I 
can think of to not keep all Cyrus related stuff in cyrus.conf.

RE: SQUATTER script and non English folders

[lkolchin]

Hi,

/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter -r user

works fine for me, but the idea of one letter  of the alphabet at a time is 
nice.

Interesting, when I use webinterface (IMP or Squirremail) after I've finished 
to run squatter I got this message:
imap[15835]: SQUAT returned 45 messages

But after a while, when I got new messages in this account, I've got this 
message:
imap[16924]: SQUAT returned 46 messages

Does it mean that cyrus.squat file has been updated automatically, even before 
I've run "squatter -r user" again?
If so, why should I run "squatter -r user" on regular basis?

Leon Kolchinsky

Since you've looked at the code, what about:

  squatter -r 'user.a*'

What I'd like to be able to do is to squat on one letter of the alphabet at a 
time, cycling through the letters maybe once a month. Obviously not all 
messages will be squatted on, but I'm worried that if I try to squat the entire 
server every night, the I/O from that combined with backups will mean that the 
squatting never finishes in time for active business hours. So I was thinking 
that a compromise would be to keep most of the messages squatted by cycling 
through what mailboxes I squat..

(Can you imagine someone reading this out-of-context? ;-)

RE: setting up IMAP users

[lkolchin]

Hi,
 
I'm 
using cyrus on SLES9 and pretty happy with it till now :)
 
I'd 
suggest to:
 
1) Try to use web-cyradm ( www.web-cyradm.org ) - Web-cyradm is a web based software that glues topnotch 
mailing technologies like cyrus-imap and postfix together. The focus is on 
administrating small and large mailing environments.
 
Be sure also to subscribe to their list, if you 
want to use this interface.
 
2) The second option is via LDAP - Configuring a Mail Server on 
SLES (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16264.html).
 
I'm 
using the first one, so there I can help.
 
Best 
Regards,
Leon 
Kolchinsky

users
im currently a new user of cyrus, im very familiar with courier as 
thats what ive always used in the past for mail servers.  im currently 
using SLES9 and that distro uses cyrus, it doesnt seem to be automagiclly making 
the users mail folders, there is a directory under the root home folder called 
Mail which seems to have the correct folders but i cannot login to that account 
via IMAP for some reason.  And the command line tool isnt exactly user 
friendly, i tried "cyradm -auth localhost" and i get a cyrus prompt, then i type 
cm 'user' and i get "no connection to server" if i dont use the "-auth" i get a 
segment fault.  ive pretty much narrowed down the problem to cyrus and the 
mail directories not being there.  is there any help you can give me to get 
this working?  i am looking into your web admin program, hopefully that 
will work once the web server comes online.thanks for any and all 
replies.Nick

Try imapsync - http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/README

Here is an example of the syntax:

imapsync --host1 198.74.48.3 --user1 username1 --password1 secret1 --host2 
198.74.48.10 --user2 username2 --password2 secret2 --noauthmd5 --include

Subject: Formatting Messages

I've tested out several different IMAP servers in the last few years (Courier, 
DBMail, now Cyrus). All my personal mail is currently in DBMail, and I'm trying 
to migrate it to Cyrus. I've got archives of a few mailing lists that run to 
the thousands of messages. Interspersed throughout these are random messages 
that apparently have "bare newlines" or "invalid headers". When trying to move 
the entire folder, I'll get these often reported errors.

Is there a way to move the messages that do not have malformed headers, and 
leave the rest? I want to move as much as I can to Cyrus, but I really don't 
want to have to try each message seperately. 
Alternatively, is there a tool to repair the messages with errors?

I've tried having 2 IMAP accounts in Thunderbird, and moving from one to the 
other. I've tried mailutil, offlineimap, and mbsync with no luck. Any tips 
would be appreciated!

David

Problem with Subject: XXXX XXXXXX on Cyrus

[lkolchin]




Hello 
All,
 
I have very 
annoying problem since I've moved to Cyrus from 
UW-IMAP:
 
When someone sends 
e-mail from a number of servers to my users, and Subject line is in 
hebrew, the only Subject they see on their Outlook Express 
or
Horde IMP is 
Subject:  XX
 
On the other hand, 
same message sent to Exchange account looks OK on the Subject 
line.
 
Is there any 
solution to this kind of problem?
 
 
Here are the headers 
of the message I got on Cyrus account with Subject:  
XX:

RE: Problem with Subject: XXXX XXXXXX on Cyrus

[lkolchin]

Hello All,

Thanks to all who replyed.

I understand now that this are the hotmail and many other clients to blame for 
these kind of headers.
But in reality I would like to deal with this problem (not just blame the 
clients) via Cyrus (UW-IMAP and Exchange seem to deal with the problem pretty 
well).

Many users on my system now very dissapointed by this header handling :(

This munge8bit option, Andrzej wrote about is very interesting but I can't see 
this option with man imapd.conf
on my SLES9 system.
Is there more information on enabling this munge8bit option?

The patch from Igor is also interesting, if nothing else works, I'd like to try 
it.


Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

P.S.:
This is my original message for Igor (cause he missed it):

RE: Cyrus-Backup

[lkolchin]

Hi,

I'll quote myself here, I wrote it some time ago on this list:

1) I'll make a dump of all mailboxes to the text file:

su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -d" > /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt

And I can restore it with:

su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -u" < /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt

2) I will make a regular backups (in my case with DSM client) of 
/var/spool/imap/ and /var/lib/imap/, without stopping cyrus, in this case I 
endanger myself in some data inconsistency and maybe some e-mails lost (which 
were in process while backup was running).
Please correct me on the above if there are some other dangers I'm not aware 
of???

3) In case of disaster I can just copy mail directly from the backup to the 
mail store directory (/var/spool/imap/user/%username%),
And run:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -rf user/username


4) All quotas (in /var/lib/imap/quota/%firstletter of username%/)will not be 
reconstructed, so I'll need to do it manually.

5) All subscription and seen info (in /var/lib/imap/user/%firstletter of 
username%/) will not be reconstructed, but I could restore it from the regular 
backup.

Leon Kolchinsky

Does any good backup tool exist ? Or, how you backup your cyrus data ?

hi all,
i am trying to configure my cyrus-imap in order to use it with sasl,mysql,pam 
to support multi-domains mail server ..

my main question is:
i am following up a http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/ tutorail in 
order to build this mail server ..
this tutorial uses courier-imap instead of cyrus-imap ..

how can i switch to use cyrus-imap instead ?? and what changes should i apply 
in order to make my mail server works ???

i asked on postfix channel on irc and they told me that i had to tell cyrus how 
to use mysql files that i had created for my multi-domain server so can any one 
tell me how to do it ???

i am using debian-sarge as an opertaing system .

last question: does cyrus has any channel on irc ?? what is it's name and what 
is the server name that this channel is connected to??

Hi,

I would suggest to use the solution from web-cyradm list:
http://www.web-cyradm.org/pipermail/web-cyradm/2004-November/017965.html

There is very nice and multipurpose script to deal with  quotas.
It's abaut integration of quota management for MTA (postfix) + Cyrus.

Re: quota script

[lkolchin]

Hi,

You need to make sure that $CRYPT in the file config.inc.php
is set to md5.

Look here - 
http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/web-cyradm-config.html

Crypted passwords

Web-cyradm supports the storage of encrypted passwords. I strongly suggest the 
use of encryption. There are three methods supported at the moment: 
Unix-compatible (crypt), md5 and MySQL. The Unix-compatible encryption allows 
you to import encrypted passwords from an existing /etc/shadow. This is the 
preferred option. 

Unfortunately, MySQL uses a proprietary encryption method which is only 
available when using MySQL. I'm currently thinking about dropping support for 
MySQL crypt, because it only works with MySQL and makes a migration to another 
database impossible. As soon as there is a method available to re-engineer the 
MySQL crypt on PHP there will be a solution (Help needed in programming, legal 
constraints?) 

Check the variable $CRYPT in the file config.inc.php. Value »plain« means no 
encryption, »crypt« means Shadow compatible encryption, mysql means MySQL 
encryption.

Yes, mail users are shell users too.
But question is, how to migrate MD5 hash passwords from /etc/shadow to 
mysql, if I wish to use web-cyradm and sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop ?

Thanks, Mitja

Btw I found quota script, that work fine;
