NOT ABLE TO ADMINISTER MAIL BOXES WITH CYRUS-2.2.10

[ALD]

I do not have permanent solution but I have solved the problem as under :

I have downloaded Autocreate INBOX patch for Cyrus From  
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/
Go to your cyrus installation root directory in my case 
/usr/local/src/cyrus/
Apply patch to cyrus source with file   with   
cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-autocreate-0.1.diff 
<http://email.uoa.gr/download/cyrus/cyrus-imapd-2.2.10/>  as under

patch -p0 < cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-autocreate-0.1.diff 
<http://email.uoa.gr/download/cyrus/cyrus-imapd-2.2.10/>

The cyrus source of cyrus-imapd-2.2.10 will get patched
stop master  and saslauthd
in my case
/etc/init.d/cyrus stop

recompile cyrus

#cd cyrus-imapd-2.2.10
#./configure \
--with-sasl=/usr/local/lib \
--with-perl \
--with-auth=unix \
--with-dbdir=/usr/local/bdb \
--with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/bdb/lib \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/bdb/include \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--without-ucdsnmp \
--with-cyrus-user=cyrus \
--with-cyrus-group=mail \

#make
#make depend
#make install

Add following entries to /etc/imapd.conf

autocreateinboxfolders: sent-mail | Drafts | Templates | Trash
autosubscribeinboxfolders: sent-mail | Drafts | Templates | Trash
Also check for proper value of   autocreatequota:  in /etc/imapd.conf
autocreatequota: 10000

restart master and saslauthd

/etc/init.d/cyrus start

now you can create user and whenever the user logs in with proper 
password , the mailbox is automatically created with default quota and 
the folders mentioned in imapd.conf

This has made me possible that at lease the work is not hampered

As far as the problen of  Permission Denied is considered it appears to 
be some problem in cyrus  .
I am sure that there is no permission problem on my server as evertthing 
was working fine on cyrus 2.0.16 and I do not see in any of 
documentation / mailing list that in cyrus-2.2.10 any permissions are 
changed

There is some problem how cyrus is working with virtual domain but in 
none of the server logs the problem is trapped

I  hope some expert will definately look into this problem and help us

Regards

AJIT
