Hey Alex. I am working on getting Cyrus on FreeBSD myself, and I think I have some of these hurdles covered. As for Cyrus 2.0.15, watch out, they seem to be having a 'signalled to death by 11' problem of some sort. I think 2.0.16 was just released, maybe they fixed it. As for the cyrus mailer file, don't use it. Look in the build section of the cyrus-imap port (/usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imap/work/cyrus-<version>/) you will find a replacement mailer mc file called cyrusv2.mc. Put that into your /usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer file and use the following: MAILER(cyrusv2) This will contain the correct parameters. Read on for a couple other thoughts.

I think it is more sendmail specific though, and I suspect it isn't really possible - I could be wrong so don't let me stop you from asking. > 2.

The only thing I found in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README is a DOMAIN spec called LUSER_RELAY. Search on that key or DOMAIN in the file for details. > Also, sendmail starts to blame on sender addresses without domain > (for example - in cron messages), so i was forced to add > "FEATURE(always_add_domain)" in sendmail.cf. I use that too. Better to keep it. > 3. In /usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/cyrus.m4 "deliver" has "-e" option, > which dosn't defined in deliver manual. Is it 1.6.x heritage or > something important? see above. Use the cyrusv2.mc - but make sure you read the docs first. I haven't used it because of the signaling bug (I dropped back to 1.6.24 - worked for the last 2 1/2 years, so . . .) > 4. I think, that next question asked here too often, but anyway: > is it possible to route all mail for certain address to top-level > cyrus mailbox?

I know you couldn't with 1.6.x, so unless they changed the namespace design, I doubt it. There is supposed to be a namespace related release in the next few months, I think - soon anyway, but I don't know the specifics of the changes. > My own maillists & Inet searches was unsuccessful. Maybe, someone > can give me good advice or point me at suitable documentation? The cyrus website has details of support forums. Unfortunately that is pretty much limited to the mailing list: info-cyrus@andrew.cmu.edu. They also have an anonymous imap server to get the archives from. I don't remember the servername exactly, but I know you can find it at the cyrus website.
