The Cyrus IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in
|
|
|
|
|
that it is generally intended to be run on sealed servers, where normal
|
|
|
|
|
users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in
|
|
|
|
|
parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All
|
|
|
|
|
user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The private mailbox database design gives the server large advantages in
|
|
|
|
|
efficiency, scalability, and administratability. Multiple concurrent
|
|
|
|
|
read/write connections to the same mailbox are permitted. The server
|
|
|
|
|
supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox
|
|
|
|
|
hierarchies.

Because of cyrus-imapd+OpenBSD mmap incompatibility, the server runs in

|
|
|
compat mode incuring a performance penalty under high load.

Following man pages have been renamed to avoid conflicts with other
|
|
|
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
|
fetchnews(8) -> cyrus-fetchnews(8) # conflict with news/leafnode
|
|
|
|
|
idled(8) -> cyrus-idled(8) # conflict with sysutils/idled
|
|
|
|
|
master(8) -> cyrus-master(8) # conflict with mail/postfix
|
|
|
|
|
imapd(8) -> cyrus-imapd(8) # conflict with mail/courier-imap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cyrus-imapd uses the LOG_LOCAL6 syslog facility for logging. This port
|
|
|
|
|
of cyrus-imapd uses idled for IMAP IDLE.
