Hello, I using Exim with Cyrus.
At the bottom of this email is a response from the Cryus list.
They said that this was an Exim configuration problem.
Could this be a rewrite problem ?
Here is my problem:
I created a shell account for one user.
From there I ran a sh mboxtocyrus /var/spool/mail/.
Mail for this first user works using Cyrus IMAP.
Additional users were created differently. Others do not have shell
accounts.
I used the cyradm tool:
sh cyradm -u cyrus localhost
#create mailbox/user
localhost> cm user.s
#change permissions so that cyrus can modify the folder.
localhost> sam user.s cyrus all
localhost> quit
I set their password:
% saslpasswd s
Although all users can log into the IMAP server and create folders,
only the first user with a shell account can receive email.
I thought that Cyrus does not need shell accounts.
How do I get around this ?
I am using Exim 3.34 for my MTA.
Parts of my default Exim config file that I modified:
--------------------------------------------------
qualify_domain = washmail.washcoll.edu
local_domains = localhost:washmail.washcoll.edu
relay_domains = washcoll.edu
host_lookup = *
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 :192.146.226.0/24:209.243.0.0/24
trusted_users = mail
local_delivery:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver \
${local_part}"
return_path_add
return_output
prefix = ""
user = cyrus
error from mailier :
-------------------------------
command = "/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver ${local_part}"
X-Failed-Recipients: s@???

This is an error from exim its self. you need to configure
exim not to check for local users. Unfortunately I have never
configured exim. I can tell you it is not popular on the cyrus
mailing list in general (postfix/sendmail seems to be the main
base). So you might not get too much help but it is worth posting
any answer you may find to the list.
