[ADMIN] Mail server changes made
by Jason Fesler 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

To the Round Cube community. Today I've made changes to the mail server, that will hopefully enable me to continue serving as your list host. I've changed the numeric IP address used for posts being sent from this mailing list. This change *may* cause some of you to see delays, as ISPs do not yet have any reputation recorded for this new IP address. Many ISPs delay mail in this circumstance until more of a reputation is earned. If you want to catch up in the list, and you think mail to your ISP is being delayed, you can read the archives at http://lists.roundcube.net/users/ . [Stop reading here, unless you want more background info.] This change is regrettable an important one, for me to continue hosting. Until today, mail for my users (many of which have been here for 10-15 years) was sharing the same physical server and IP address as hosting the mailing lists. Most of those years, this was not a problem. However, in the last year or two, there has been increasing tension with this setup. Why the tension? People who subscribed to the list, then later complain to their ISP that the mail is spam. Pure and simple. These people build a negative reputation for my server's IP address. This in turn causes the ISPs to block *all* mail from my IP address. This affects the CRPL list, the Woodworkers list (who's now moved off), the Round Cube lists, and all the personal users on my server (including my family). Many of us use the server for contact with our families, or (in my case) for professional reasons. For example, nobody on my server can mail AT&T owned domains. This includes worldnet, pacbell, prodigy, swbell, and other related businesses. This failure mode has caused several long time users and organizations both to leave my server. All of it is directly attribution to the mailing list hosting. This tension has been so bad that I asked your list *owners*, in December, to look for a new host to move to. This has been a terrible ask - both my act of doing so; as well as the effort it takes for your list owners to find a new home. This has been quite difficult for your list owners to actually act on. I've finally come up with a solution (and had the time to implement it), to avoid moving the mailing lists to a different physical server. New posts will come from a dedicated IP address just for mailing lists; all other mail will remain on the original IP. Until the ISPs of the world stop delaying mail from this new IP, I'll ask you for your patience. With these changes, I hope that I'll be able to host the list for another 10-15 years after all. -jason list *host* . --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- The following attachments have been detached and are available for viewing. http://detached.gigo.com/rc/FF/HVKuFZRK/smime.p7s Only click these links if you trust the sender, as well as this message. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- -- List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/ BT/9b404e9e

Roundcube and openldap search hierarchy
by Sasha Kacanski 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi All, I setup a rouncube (svn current) with two cyrus imap servers and openldap/mysql. I managed to extend my ldap hierarchy to include following: ou=People,dc=xxxx,dc=org for public address book this works fine and all users are visible from the roundcube via public address - readonly book i have private address books under user uid uid=xxxx,ou=People,dc=xxxx,dc=org as ou=addressbook,uid=xxxx,ou=People,dc=xxxx,dc=org slapd.conf is modified with appropriate rules to allow users to create addditional address books and contacts everything works fine. I changed search criteria on the public address book to "one" from "sub" to avoid picking up private group names under public address group listing. However, when I create user private address book, e.a. cn=My Friends,ou=addressbook,uid=xxxx,ou=People,dc=xxxx,dc=org this private group will show under both, public and private address space in roundcube. I thought that by limiting search criteria in public address space from sub to one will prevent private address books from showing, but that did not work. What do you suggest as easiest approach to solve this issue. btw, I registered to http://www.roundcubeforum.net and I can't post email to any forum. I sent email to support folks and nothing...

My fear is that the garbage collection from one or more webmail machines is somehow stomping over active sessions On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 10:10 AM, Jernej Porenta <jernej.porenta(a)arnes.si>wrote: > > On Feb 14, 2012, at 5:19 PM, James Devine wrote: > > > I have 3 machines running identical instances of roundcube setup in a > load balanced cluster sharing an instance of mysql.

Re: [RCU] Installer can't find config files
by Advrk Aplmrkt 18 Feb '12

Progress! So looks like SELinux was the culprit after all. After I turned it off, my config files were found and read by the Roundcube installer. However, now it is telling me that the database DSN (write) failed: "(MDB2 Error: connect failed) Make sure that the configured database exists and that the user has write privileges DSN: mysql://roundcube:[password]@localhost/roundcubedb" where [password] is the password I set up for the roundcube MySQL user. Sorry to keep bugging you all, but: (1) How do I troubleshoot this database issue? (2) Is it OK to have SELinux completely off? Thanks!!

Hello, The following are my current permissions setting for Roundcube: [root@scientific-vb config]# ls -l total 84 -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 2663 Feb 13 17:05 db.inc.php -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 2662 Sep 28 06:16 db.inc.php.dist -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 33274 Feb 13 17:05 main.inc.php -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 33208 Nov 30 08:11 main.inc.php.dist -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 2450 Oct 20 2010 mimetypes.php However, the Roundcube installer keeps saying: "Unable to read file. Did you create the config files?" What am I doing wrong? Thanks! P.S. My Roundcube resides in /var/www/html/webmail/, it is connected to MySQL, and the web server user is "apache" (sans quotes).

Clustered roundcube
by James Devine 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

I have 3 machines running identical instances of roundcube setup in a load balanced cluster sharing an instance of mysql. We seem to have issues at times where people's sessions expire in the middle of using roundcube. Is the best way to fix this to set the session_lifetime to 0 and do manual cleanup of sessions? -- List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/ BT/9b404e9e

Installer can't find config files
by Advrk Aplmrkt 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hello, I managed to setup latest Roundcube on my server (w/ MySQL and Apache) up and through the config file setup. I downloaded the two config files and moved them into /var/www/html/webmail/config (webmail is my Roundcube directory), and chown'ed them to apache.apache (apache is my webserver user). However, the Roundcube installer says it can't read the config files. Am I doing anything wrong? Can someone help me troubleshoot this? Thank you very much! -- List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/ BT/9b404e9e
