CYRUS MAILBOX LOOKUP FOR SENDMAIL --------------------------------- You have enabled modifications for sendmail for looking up whether a cyrus (2.2.3+) mailbox exists and is under quota before accepting any mail to be relayed to cyrus. They are based on the idea and work by Andrzej Filip, http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/rtcyrus2.html and Mike Boev, http://tric.ru/users/mike/ckuser_cyrus/ Please, use these urls to learn all configuration details (although a quick recipe is provided below) and may be to give credits to the authors. ****************************************************************** IMPORTANT: Now that the mrs_cyrus.m4 has been updated, you may need to adjust the modifications you made to your .mc file if you used the old one! See http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/rtcyrus2.html for current installation instructions. ****************************************************************** HOW TO : --------- 0. Build the `mail/sendmail' sendmail port with SENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP=yes SENDMAIL_WITH_CYRUSLOOKUP=yes This is what you've just obviously done, unless you are just browsing the ports tree. To stick with these settings, you can place something like the following in your `/etc/make.conf'. PORTSDIR?= /usr/ports .if ${.CURDIR} == ${PORTSDIR}/mail/sendmail SENDMAIL_WITH_CYRUSLOOKUP= yes SENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP= yes # possibly other sendmail knobs here too. .endif You should have also installed and configured Cyrus IMAP server, version 2.2.3 or higher. Not the worst idea is to utilize the `mail/cyrus-imapd22' port. 1. Insert the following lines to the SERVICES sections of `cyrus.conf'. By default, the port installs it to `/usr/local/etc'. # Sendmail socket map smmapd(8) smmap cmd="smmapd" listen="/var/imap/socket/smmapd" prefork=0 A SIGHUP would make the Cyrus master(8) process catch this change on-the-fly. Please, also note, that if sendmail and cyrus run on separate machines, you will obviously need to modify this line and a couple of others. 2. As per the `install-configure' from Cyrus IMAP server's documentation, in the simplest case, you added: define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')dnl MAILER(`cyrusv2')dnl to your sendmail's .mc file to make local delivery to Cyrus mailboxes. Now, simply add (somewhere near other FEATURES, before MAILER lines): FEATURE(`ckuser_cyrus')dnl for sendmail to start rejecting local addresses for nonexisting and full mailboxes. Rebuild your sendmail.cf, restart sendmail, and enjoy! If your configuration is more complicated than just defining Cyrus as your local mailer, read Andrzej's article. It covers more of the other cases. ****************************************************************** 2004, September 16th Michael O. Boev, mike@tric.ru.
