Cyrus IMAP

for Slackware 11

cyrus-sasl needs to be recompiled:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-static \
--enable-shared \
--enable-gssapi \
--disable-krb4 \
--enable-login \
--with-dbpath=/etc/sasldb2 \
--with-dblib=berkeley \
--with-bdb-libdir=/lib \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include/db4

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-static \
--enable-shared \
--enable-gssapi \
--disable-krb4 \
--enable-login \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include/db4

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --enable-netscapehack --enable-listext \
--with-idle=idled --disable-murder --enable-nntp --without-snmp --with-auth=unix \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include/db44 --with-syslogfacility=MAIL \
--with-libd=/usr/lib

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --enable-netscapehack --enable-listext \
--with-idle=idled --disable-murder --enable-nntp --without-snmp \
--with-cyrus-prefix=/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd \
--with-service-path=/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd --with-auth=unix \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include/db44 --with-syslogfacility=MAIL \
--with-libd=/usr/lib

I had to edit a few files in cyrus-src/sieve: (might not be needed - wasn't on bender.cuit)

for i in Makefile Makefile.in test.c
do
sed -i 's/imap\/message.o/sieve\/message.o/g' $i
done

and line 38 of sieve/sieve_err.c needs to be commented out

/*    initialize_siev_error_table_r(&_et_list); */

make

checkinstall

install the tgz file

http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/install-configure.html

we need to add the user cyrus and group sieve

adduser cyrus
vi /etc/group and add sieve

we need to configure:

• imapd.conf
  • Create the file “/etc/imapd.conf”. Here is a sample “imapd.conf” with a minimal number of values defined:
    

    configdirectory: /var/imap
    partition-default: /var/spool/imap
    admins: curtj abell
    sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

• syslog.conf (need to add logging for imap and authentication, and sieve?)
  • If you do not copy the “syslog/syslog.conf” file to the “/etc” directory, be sure to add support for “local6.debug”. The file should include a line like:
    
    local6.debug /var/log/imapd.log
    
    You probably also want to log SASL messages with a line like:
    
    auth.debug /var/log/auth.log
    
    After installation and testing, you probably want to change the “.debug” component to something a little less verbose. Create the log files:
    
    touch /var/log/imapd.log /var/log/auth.log
    
    
• setup data directories (in /var/imap and /usr/sieve I think)
  • This document uses the configuration directory “/var/imap” in its examples. This directory should be owned by the cyrus user and group and should not permit access to other users.
    

       cd /var
       mkdir imap
       chown cyrus imap
       chgrp mail imap
       chmod 750 imap

  • This document uses a default partition directory of “/var/spool/imap” in the following example:
    

       cd /var/spool
       mkdir imap
       chown cyrus imap
       chgrp mail imap
       chmod 750 imap

  • If you wish to use Sieve, and you didn't configure deliver to look in home directories (see the imapd.conf man page), create the Sieve directory:
    

       cd /usr
       mkdir sieve
       chown cyrus sieve
       chgrp mail sieve
       chmod 750 sieve

  • Change to the Cyrus user and use the tool “tools/mkimap” to create the rest of the directories (subdirectories of the directories you just created).
    

       su cyrus
       tools/mkimap
       exit

• Create your ssl cert
  

  openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /var/imap/server.pem -keyout /var/imap/server.pem -days 365

  
  and make sure it is readable by the cyrus user

• Add the following lines to the “/etc/services” file if they aren't already there.
  

     pop3      110/tcp
     nntp      119/tcp
     imap      143/tcp
     imsp      406/tcp
     nntps     563/tcp
     acap      674/tcp
     imaps     993/tcp
     pop3s     995/tcp
     kpop      1109/tcp
     sieve     2000/tcp
     lmtp      2003/tcp
     fud       4201/udp

• setup the MTA, and create the certificates

cpan install IMAP::Admin
cd /your/Cyrus/source/path
cd perl
make
make install

    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
