Does cyradm see the mailboxes ok?

[maccanada]

Have you tried manually typing it into /etc/hostconfig?

[maccanada]

Check the ownership of the following directories:
/var/imap
/var/spool/imap
The owner should be cyrusimap and the group should be mail

[maccanada]

Total stab in the dark, but have you tried reconstructing the corrupted mailbox before deleting it?

[maccanada]

As I said, it comes down to permissions. You have 2 options really:
1. Enable root account on the client and send the command as root – much like the SyncServices folder, I recommend you stay away from this

2. Edit the sudoers file to allow a user to execute the required command – man sudoers goes through it all in some detail, but basically something like:
helpermonkey stampy = NOPASSWD: /bin/reboot
should allow the user helpermonkey, run the reboot command on the machine stampy without putting in a password
You should use visudo to edit the file, and take a backup of it in case things don’t work out right.

I’ve never come across this probelm before, so I can’t offer much more help. I’d definitely take a backup before deleting the DB though.

cyr_expire handles deletion of expired messages or duplicate deliveries. It’s configured in imapd.conf. You can man cyr_expire for more info. Normallly it’s the client that sets the time span for expiring messages and in your case it looks like it’s trying to expire messages that no longer exist.

Is the message id always the same?

It’s not really a solution, but hopefully I’ve given you something to go on 🙂

Should work fine using reboot instead of restart…of course you’ll need appropriate permissions on the end machine to execute a reboot

[maccanada]

Hmm, well I’m sure there are better ways than this, but running iostat with a count of 30 or so on the two disks and then forcing some kind of disk activity on the RAID set will tell you which disk is being accessed.

You may just be able to copy the .cvd files into /var/amavis, but I haven’t checked…
I’d checkout the clam FAQ and wiki which covers this:

Yeah – SMB is a much better bet and I’d use AFP on a
PC as Plan B, but CA bought out Miramar, and now own PC MacLan

It’s not a necessity for the clients to have forward and reverse DNS, but if you’re using static IPs or reserved DHCP addresses it certainly wouldn’t hurt either.

[maccanada]

Your DNS setup sounded OK…more like a client resolution problem. You should look at ‘host’ and ‘dig’ to troubleshoot DNS issues.
The gui in Tiger Server will be fine for basic internal-only DNS setup.

This is getting a little OT but…
Is there any explanation as to why users are being duplicated into contacts? I can think of reasons why an account would be linked to a contact (advanced forwarding or cross-forest Exchange synchronisation), but I’ve no idea why you’d want identical entries. Contacts are pointers to email addresses for external people without Exchange mailboxes. Just curious…

[maccanada]

man mdutil
man mdimport

should point you in the right direction…I’ve not had to use them in a network home situation, but they work fine whenever I’ve needed them.
