I would recommend using Cyrus’s ipurge tool.

I use it to regularly delete messages from the spam quarantine on our 10.3.9 server.

sudo -u cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ipurge -X -d 14 Quarantine/Spam

Any message older than 14 days is deleted from Quarantine/Spam (a public folder on our server) by this command. No reconstruct is necessary.

I downloaded mailbfr and it was able to repair my quota.

I’m pretty sure that the problem I was encountering was caused by me trying to repair the quota WHILE CYRUS WAS STILL RUNNING.

I’m an idiot.

Yes, the read status for each message in a shared folder on Cyrus is specific to each user that has access to the folder. Its behavior is very bulletin board-like.

As it turns out, this was just an administrative notification. I’m the administrator.

😳

Can I delete this thread? Man.

Entourage X’s Exchange functionality will work with Exchange 5.5. Entourage 2004 will not.

The easiest solution might be to simply use IMAP to connect to your Exchange server. I’ve used Entourage X, Entourage 2004, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Apple Mail to connect this way. The only tricky part is getting your username formed correctly. Here is the formula:

NT Domain Name / NT Username / Exchange Alias

For example, on our Exchange 5.5 server, my IMAP username is: CPI/jason/jason.heiser

P.S. You must change the forward slash to a backslash! I used the forward slash in my examples because the AFP548 forum software strips backslashes!

The solution:

Execute “mnthome” when you SSH into a machine where your home directory is on a network mount. The command is available on Mac OS X Server, but not the client.

“man mnthome” will tell you everything you want to know about this command.

I disliked feeling like a “Me too!” moron, so I dug in and learned a thing or two about BIND. My DNS resolutions go a lot faster now that I’m forwarding them to our ISP’s servers. You can do the same by adding a FORWARDERS option in your OPTIONS statement in /etc/named.conf.

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        recursion true;
        forwarders {209.46.63.1;209.46.63.6;};
        allow-transfer {none;};
};

I’m having the same issue with DNS running on on our G5 10.3.8 server. There’s a 3-4 second delay in resolving domain names not hosted on the box, and it’s irritating me terribly. Can the performance be tweaked?

They’re being mounted via AFP.

(Marvelous website you have here, by the way, MacTroll. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question)
