greetings check if the user info is still in the data base, stop cyrus, remove the account, remove files, start cyrus.

dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ -read Users/johndoe

serveradmin stop mail

dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ -delete Users/johndoe

rm -Rf /var/spool/imap/Users/johndoe

serveradmin start mail

using mailbfr to repair db may be useful if the folders reappear

[donovan]

try a reconstruct for those users.

serveradmin stop mail
sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -f -r user/username

enable webmail

serveradmin start mail

login via squirrel mail and check for errors. – squirell mail dos a nice job of reading the imap mailboxes and reporting any ” Real ” imap problems.

I keep getting, you must authenticate as administrator. it’s not reading the Diradmin or the local account.

Okay I got it to work. I setup a second box on the same subnet, created a test acccount in LDAP and pointed the afp home dir to the new server. Clicked create home dir and it worked.

Now,…
there seems to be a problem with the afp server off subnet (server 3).

server 1 OD master 10.1.1.1
server 2 afp connected to OD 10.1.1.2
server 3 afp connected to OD 192.168.1.1

log report from server 3

Jan 25 07:51:53 nc1-11 automount[10379]: Can’t mount svr3.foo.org:/Users on /private/Network/Servers/svr3.foo.org/Users: Authentication error (80)
Jan 25 07:51:53 nc1-11 automount[10379]: Attempt to mount /automount/Servers/svr3.foo.org/Users returned 80 (Authentication error)

i saw something silimilar yesterday.

Stop mail service and run recover on your imap database

[donovan]

i just did that. had to re-do the system. i had other problems after the security update. I’m back to a stock 10.3 server

((crossing fingers))

>the lmtpd errors should be cyrus issues. I’m assuming you’ve tried to rebuild >the database?

yes but im not sure if it has done any good

sudo -s -u cyrus
reconstruct -r

is there a better way of doing this?

as far as the postfix file. i have taken out all of the amavis entry’s from both master and main.

but no i have not tried using the default file with a reload.
I might have to do that when traffic dies out.

greetings currently your clients are bound toa netinfo database. Setup the LDAP data first then switch the clients to bind to LDAPv3.

you may want to wait a bit tho. I haven’t tried it yet. but 10.2 may not be able to do V3 yet. — list correct me if I’m wrong.

for right now,…panther can still support your netinfo data just as it did before.
you should experiment in small isolated areas first.

have maybe one lab bind to a migrated netinfo to ldap data.

you can change your settings on the clients using the directory access utility.

ok,…after a few brain bashers

I removed all the binaries and src
unpacked again
./build clean

./build osx

it still did not work. So i went to the /var/mail directory (where i had my test accounts) 2 users were there holmer and marge. Dleted them, restarted the whole damn box and Whamo!!

— friggin thingy worked. pop and imap
now,… can anyone tell me where i can get some good info on setting up imap folders for peoples. As I can see,… it assumes the entire users home folder as the place to store mail. i would like to simplify the options for storage for my clients.

tnx

[donovan]

ok check this out?

[noc-100:~] donovan% telnet 209.96.96.3 110
Trying 209.96.96.3…
Connected to mailx.beth.k12.pa.us.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
+OK POP3 mailx.beth.k12.pa.us v2003.83 server ready
user donovan
-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

I’m pretty sure i compiled without SSL. This happened the last time I did an install. i followed the instructions and I get the same results.
BTW this is osx server, not that it should make a difference.

[donovan]

greetings
sorry i know this is not helping your case but I have the same question. (sortof)

the daemon should fire up when the user logs in to get their mail.

i am following the this Article:
https://www.afp548.com/Articles/Jaguar/postfix2.html

I have just completed Step 1

xinetd has started and i have a running pid. Now,…
i guess the IMAP/POP file are already installed because i never installed them. i only upgraded pine to 4.55 ( as per the Article)

When the User trys to access the pop or imap account the username or password is not recognized. Since my user exists only in Netinfo do i have to export him to a flatfile? ( I don’t think i should have to do this ).
osx 10.2.6 server

any assistance is helpful.
