Setting up Cyrus IMAPd for Sendmail (Debian) =========================================================== [This is user-contributed, unverified information] First, do *not* use the old cyrus*.m4 macros, they won't work well. The one you can use is cyrusv2.m4. There are many methods of connecting Cyrus to sendmail, and replacing the local mailer with Cyrus lmtpd is just one of them. Andrzej Filip says: http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/localNalias.html Cyrus Aliases It allows to use user@CYRUS redirections in virtusertable, aliases and .forward file e.g. I use the following ~anfi/.forward: anfi@CYRUS http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/localtab.html Local Table http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/rtcyrus2.html Real Time Cyrus Integration It allows sendmail to check presence of cyrus mailbox in real time, sendmail rejects message to non existing cyrus mailboxes in reply to "RCPT TO:" I am not sure how well these will work with sieve. The one report I have for Cyrus + sendmail with working sieve is: "cyrus/sieve vacation seems to work only if you integrate cyrus via cyrusv2.m4 into sendmail (8.12.3-4)." Sample sendmail.mc that seems to work: -------- [...] dnl define BIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES')dnl define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')dnl MAILER(`local')dnl MAILER(`smtp')dnl MAILER(`cyrusv2')dnl dnl MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`cyrus',`+w')dnl LOCAL_RULE_0 Rbb + $+ < @ $=w . > $#cyrusbb $: $1 [...] -------- Here's a sieve test script you can try. Change it as needed for your site: require "fileinto"; require "vacation"; require "envelope"; if header :contains "subject" "vactest" { vacation :days 7 :addresses ["me@home.de"] "vactest!"; } Pierre Gambarotto says: The minimum in order to make it work with sendmail is: define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2') define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS',`FILE /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp') MAILER(`cyrusv2') The CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS is the key.
