Cyrus on Panther Server
Good things to know if you have to administrate Cyrus mail services on Mac OS X Server (Panther):
- If Cyrus is acting funky, do the following:
sudo serveradmin stop mail sudo mv /var/imap /var/imap.bak sudo cp -Rp /var/spool/imap /var/spool/imap.bak sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/tools/mkimap chown -R cyrus:mail /var/imap sudo -u cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -i sudo serveradmin start mailThis will rebuild all mailboxes, and restore to original settings all queue directories, etc. NOTE: If you use IMAP, reconstruct will revert all messages to unread status.
- The system automatically runs it periodically, but if you have a bad shutdown of other problem, you can run /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb to check and restore the cyrus config database

After moving the directory, you need to make the directory–
mkdir /var/imap
Otherwise the rest of the commands don’t work.
