The sections below detail options that can be placed in
the
/etc/imapd.conf file, and show each option's default value. Some
options have no default value, these are listed with ``<no default>''.
Some options default to the empty string, these are listed with
``<none>''.
addressbookprefix: #addressbooks
The prefix for the addressbook mailboxes hierarchies. The
hierarchy delimiter will be automatically appended. The public addressbook
hierarchy will be at the toplevel of the shared namespace. A user's personal
addressbook hierarchy will be a child of their Inbox.
admins: <empty string>
The list of userids with administrative rights. Separate
each userid with a space. Sites using Kerberos authentication may use separate
"admin" instances.
Note that accounts used by users should not be administrators.
Administrative accounts should not receive mail. That is, if user
"jbRo" is a user reading mail, he should not also be in the admins
line. Some problems may occur otherwise, most notably the ability of
administrators to create top-level mailboxes visible to users, but not
writable by users.
afspts_localrealms: <none>
The list of realms which are to be treated as local, and
thus stripped during identifier canonicalization (for the AFSPTS ptloader
module). This is different from loginrealms in that it occurs later in the
authorization process (as the user id is canonified for PTS lookup)
afspts_mycell: <none>
Cell to use for AFS PTS lookups. Defaults to the local
cell.
allowallsubscribe: 0
Allow subscription to nonexistent mailboxes. This option
is typically used on backend servers in a Murder so that users can subscribe
to mailboxes that don't reside on their "home" server. This option
can also be used as a workaround for IMAP clients which don't play well with
nonexistent or unselectable mailboxes (e.g., Microsoft Outlook).
allowanonymouslogin: 0
Permit logins by the user "anonymous" using any
password. Also allows use of the SASL ANONYMOUS mechanism.
allowapop: 1
Allow use of the POP3 APOP authentication command.
Note that this command requires that SASL is compiled with APOP
support, that the plaintext passwords are available in a SASL auxprop
backend (e.g., sasldb), and that the system can provide enough entropy
(e.g., from /dev/urandom) to create a challenge in the banner.
allownewnews: 0
Allow use of the NNTP NEWNEWS command.
Note that this is a very expensive command and should only be
enabled when absolutely necessary.
allowplaintext: 0
If enabled, allows the use of cleartext passwords on the
wire.
By default, the use of cleartext passwords requires a TLS/SSL
encryption layer to be negotiated prior to any cleartext authentication
mechanisms being advertised or allowed. To require a TLS/SSL encryption
layer to be negotiated prior to ANY authentication, see the
tls_required option.
allowusermoves: 0
Allow moving user accounts (with associated meta-data)
via RENAME or XFER.
Note that measures should be taken to make sure that the user
being moved is not logged in, and cannot login during the move. Failure to
do so may result in the user's meta-data (seen state, subscriptions, etc)
being corrupted or out of date.
altnamespace: 1
Use the alternate IMAP namespace, where personal folders
reside at the same level in the hierarchy as INBOX.
This option ONLY applies where interaction takes place with the
client/user. Currently this is limited to the IMAP protocol (imapd) and
Sieve scripts (lmtpd). This option does NOT apply to admin tools such as
cyradm (admins ONLY), reconstruct, quota, etc., NOR does it affect LMTP
delivery of messages directly to mailboxes via plus-addressing. The default
changed in 3.0 from off to on.
altprefix: Alt Folders
Alternative INBOX spellings that can't be accessed in
altnamespace otherwise go under here
annotation_db: twoskip
The cyrusdb backend to use for mailbox annotations.
Allowed values: skiplist, twoskip, lmdb
annotation_db_path: <none>
The absolute path to the annotations db file. If not
specified, will be configdirectory/annotations.db
anyoneuseracl: 1
Should non-admin users be allowed to set ACLs for the
'anyone' user on their mailboxes? In a large organization this can cause
support problems, but it's enabled by default.
annotation_allow_undefined: 0
Allow clients to store values for entries which are not
defined either by Cyrus or in the annotations_definitions file.
annotation_definitions: <none>
File containing external (third-party) annotation
definitions.
Each line of the file specifies the properties of an annotation
and has the following form:
name, scope, attrib-type,
proxy-type, attrib-names, acl
- name
- is the hierarchical name as in RFC 5257 or RFC 5464 (in the
latter case, without the leading /shared or /private). For
example, /vendor/acme/blurdybloop.
- scope
- specifies whether the annotation is for the server, a
mailbox, or a message.
- attrib-type
specifies the attribute data type, which is used only to
check the string value passed by clients when setting annotations. The
attrib-type is one of:
- string
- any value is accepted.
- content-type
- this obsolete data type, which was useful for early drafts of the
standard, is accepted but silently translated to string.
- boolean
- only the strings "true" or "false" are accepted.
Checking is case-insensitive but the value is forced to lowercase.
- int
- integers are accepted.
- uint
- non-negative integers are accepted.
- proxy-type
- specifies whether this attribute is for the backend or proxy
servers or both (proxy_and_backend)
- attrib-names
- is the space-separated list of available attributes for the annotation.
Possible attribute names are value.shared, value.priv, and
value (which permits both value.priv and
value.shared). The attribute names size, size.shared,
and size.priv are accepted but ignored; these attributes are
automatically provided by the server if the corresponding value
attribute is specified. Some obsolete attributes, which were defined early
drafts of the standard, are accepted and ignored with a warning.
- is the extra ACL permission bits required for setting this annotation, in
standard IMAP ACL permission bit string format. Note that this is in
addition to the permission bits specified in RFC 5257 and RFC
5464, so leaving this field empty is harmless. Note also that there is
no way to specify that an annotation can only be set by an admin user; in
particular the a permission bit does not achieve this.
Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.
annotation_callout: <none>
The pathname of a callout to be used to automatically add
annotations or flags to a message when it is appended to a mailbox. The path
can be either an executable (including a script), or a UNIX domain
socket.
aps_topic: <none>
Topic for Apple Push Service registration.
aps_topic_caldav: <none>
Topic for Apple Push Service registration for
CalDAV.
aps_topic_carddav: <none>
Topic for Apple Push Service registration for
CardDAV.
archive_enabled: 0
Is archiving enabled for this server. You also need to
have an archivepartition for the mailbox. Archiving allows older email to be
stored on slower, cheaper disks - even within the same mailbox, as distinct
from partitions.
archive_days: 7
The number of days after which to move messages to the
archive partition if archiving is enabled
archive_maxsize: 1024
The size in kilobytes of the largest message that won't
be archived immediately. Default is 1Mb
archive_keepflagged: 0
If set, messages with the \Flagged system flag won't be
archived, provided they are smaller than archive_maxsize.
archivepartition-name: <none>
The pathname of the archive partition name,
corresponding to spool partition partition-name. For any mailbox
residing in a directory on partition-name, the archived messages will
be stored in a corresponding directory on archivepartition-name. Note
that not every partition-name option is strictly required to have a
corresponding archivepartition-name option, but that without one
there's no benefit to enabling archiving.
auditlog: 0
Should cyrus output log entries for every action taken on
a message file or mailboxes list entry? It's noisy so disabled by default, but
can be very useful for tracking down what happened if things look
strange
auth_mech: unix
The authorization mechanism to use.
Allowed values: unix, pts, krb,
krb5
autocreateinboxfolders: <none>
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_inbox_folders.
autocreatequota: 0
Deprecated in favor of autocreate_quota.
autocreatequotamsg: -1
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_quota_messages.
autosievefolders: <none>
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_sieve_folders.
generate_compiled_sieve_script: 0
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_sieve_script_compile.
autocreate_sieve_compiled_script: <none>
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_sieve_script_compiled.
autosubscribeinboxfolders: <none>
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_subscribe_folders.
autosubscribesharedfolders: <none>
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_subscribe_sharedfolders.
autosubscribe_all_sharedfolders: 0
Deprecated in favor of
autocreate_subscribe_sharedfolders_all.
autocreate_inbox_folders: <none>
If a user does not have an INBOX already, and the INBOX
is to be created, create the list of folders in this setting as well.
autocreate_inbox_folders is a list of INBOX's subfolders separated by a
"|", that are automatically created by the server under the
following two scenarios. Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped, so
"Junk | Trash" results in two folders: "Junk" and
"Trash". See also the
xlist-flag option, for setting
special-use flags on autocreated folders.
INBOX folders are created under both the following conditions:
- 1.
- The user logins via the IMAP or the POP3 protocol. autocreate_quota
option must have a value of zero or greater.
- 2.
- A message arrives for the user through the lmtpd(8).
autocreate_post option must be enabled.
autocreate_post: 0
If enabled, when
lmtpd(8) receives an incoming
mail for an INBOX that does not exist, then the INBOX is automatically created
by
lmtpd(8) and delivery of the message continues.
autocreate_quota: -1
If set to a value of zero or higher, users have their
INBOX folders created upon a successful login event or upon
lmtpd(8)
message delivery if
autocreate_post is enabled, provided their INBOX
did not yet already exist.
The user's quota is set to the value if it is greater than zero,
otherwise the user has unlimited quota.
Note that quota is specified in kilobytes.
autocreate_quota_messages: -1
If set to a value of zero or higher, users who have their
INBOX folders created upon a successful login event (see
autocreate_quota), or upon
lmtpd(8) message delivery if
autocreate_post is enabled, receive the message quota configured in
this option.
The default of -1 disables assigning message quota.
For consistency with autocreate_quota, a value of zero is
treated as unlimited message quota, rather than a message quota of zero.
autocreate_sieve_folders: <none>
A "|" separated list of subfolders of INBOX
that will be automatically created, if requested by a sieve filter, through
the "fileinto" action. The default is to create no folders
automatically.
Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped from each folder, so a
setting of "Junk | Trash" will create two folders:
"Junk" and "Trash".
autocreate_sieve_script: <none>
The full path of a file that contains a sieve script.
This script automatically becomes a user's initial default sieve filter
script.
When this option is not defined, no default sieve filter is
created. The file must be readable by the Cyrus daemon.
autocreate_sieve_script_compile: 0
If set to yes and no compiled sieve script file exists,
the sieve script which is compiled on the fly will be saved in the file name
that autocreate_sieve_compiledscript option points to. In order a compiled
script to be generated, autocreate_sieve_script and
autocreate_sieve_compiledscript must have valid values
autocreate_sieve_script_compiled: <none>
The full path of a file that contains a compiled in
bytecode sieve script. This script automatically becomes a user's initial
default sieve filter script. If this option is not specified, or the filename
doesn't exist then the script defined by autocreate_sieve_script is compiled
on the fly and installed as the user's default sieve script
autocreate_subscribe_folders: <none>
A list of folder names, separated by "|", that
the users get automatically subscribed to, when their INBOX is created. These
folder names must have been included in the autocreateinboxfolders option of
the imapd.conf.
autocreate_subscribe_sharedfolders: <none>
A list of shared folders (bulletin boards), separated by
"|", that the users get automatically subscribed to, after their
INBOX is created. The shared folder must have been created and the user must
have the required permissions to get subscribed to it. Otherwise, subscribing
to the shared folder fails.
autocreate_subscribe_sharedfolders_all: 0
If set to yes, the user is automatically subscribed to
all shared folders, one has permission to subscribe to.
autocreate_users: anyone
A space separated list of users and/or groups that are
allowed their INBOX to be automatically created.
backuppartition-name: <none>
The pathname of the backup partition name. At
least one backup partition pathname MUST be specified if backups are in use.
Note that there is no relationship between spool partitions and backup
partitions.
backup_compact_minsize: 0
The minimum size in kilobytes of chunks in each backup.
The compact tool will try to combine adjacent chunks that are smaller than
this.
Setting this value to zero or negative disables combining of
chunks.
backup_compact_maxsize: 0
The maximum size in kilobytes of chunks in each backup.
The compact tool will try to split chunks larger than this into smaller
chunks.
Setting this value to zero or negative disables splitting of
chunks.
backup_compact_work_threshold: 1
The number of chunks that must obviously need compaction
before the compact tool will go ahead with the compaction. If set to less than
one, the value is treated as being one.
backup_staging_path: <none>
The absolute path of the backup staging area. If not
specified, will be temp_path/backup
backup_retention_days: 7
The number of days to keep content in backup after it has
been deleted from the source. If set to a negative value or zero, deleted
content will be kept indefinitely.
backup_db: twoskip
The cyrusdb backend to use for the backup locations
database.
Allowed values: skiplist, sql, twoskip,
lmdb
backup_db_path: <none>
The absolute path to the backup db file. If not
specified, will be configdirectory/backups.db
backup_keep_previous: 0
Whether the
ctl_backups compact and
ctl_backups
reindex commands should preserve the original file. The original file will
be named with a timestamped suffix. This is mostly useful for debugging.
Note that with this enabled, compacting a backup will actually
increase the disk used by it (because there will now be an extra copy: the
original version, and the compacted version).
boundary_limit: 1000
messages are parsed recursively and a deep enough MIME
structure can cause a stack overflow. Do not parse deeper than this many
layers of MIME structure. The default of 1000 is much higher than any sane
message should have.
caldav_allowattach: 1
Enable managed attachments support on the caldav
server.
caldav_allowscheduling: on
Enable calendar scheduling operations. If set to
"apple", the server will emulate Apple CalendarServer behavior as
closely as possible. Allowed values: off, on, apple
caldav_create_attach: 1
Create the 'Attachments' calendar if it doesn't already
exist
caldav_create_default: 1
Create the 'Default' calendar if it doesn't already
exist
caldav_create_sched: 1
Create the 'Inbox' and 'Outbox' calendars if they don't
already exist
caldav_maxdatetime: 20380119T031407Z
The latest date and time accepted by the server (ISO
format). This value is also used for expanding non-terminating recurrence
rules.
Note that increasing this value will require the DAV databases for
calendars to be reconstructed with the dav_reconstruct utility in
order to see its effect on serer-side time-based queries.
caldav_mindatetime: 19011213T204552Z
The earliest date and time accepted by the server (ISO
format).
caldav_realm: <none>
The realm to present for HTTP authentication of CalDAV
resources. If not set (the default), the value of the "servername"
option will be used.
calendarprefix: #calendars
The prefix for the calendar mailboxes hierarchies. The
hierarchy delimiter will be automatically appended. The public calendar
hierarchy will be at the toplevel of the shared namespace. A user's personal
calendar hierarchy will be a child of their Inbox.
calendar_user_address_set: <none>
Space-separated list of domains corresponding to calendar
user addresses for which the server is responsible. If not set (the default),
the value of the "servername" option will be used.
carddav_realm: <none>
The realm to present for HTTP authentication of CardDAV
resources. If not set (the default), the value of the "servername"
option will be used.
carddav_repair_vcard: 0
If enabled, VCARDs with invalid content are attempted to
be repaired during creation.
chatty: 0
If yes, syslog tags and commands for every IMAP command,
mailboxes for every lmtp connection, every POP3 command, etc
client_bind: 0
If enabled, a specific IP will be bound when performing a
client connection.
client_bind_name is used if it is set, otherwise
servername is used. This is useful on multi-homed servers where Cyrus
should not use other services' interfaces.
If not enabled (the default), no bind will be performed. Client
connections will use an IP chosen by the operating system.
client_bind_name: <none>
IPv4, IPv6 address or hostname to bind for client
connections when client_bind is enabled. If not set (the default),
servername will be used.
client_timeout: 10
Number of seconds to wait before returning a timeout
failure when performing a client connection (e.g., in a murder
environment)
commandmintimer: <none>
Time in seconds. Any imap command that takes longer than
this time is logged.
configdirectory: <none>
The pathname of the IMAP configuration directory. This
field is required.
createonpost: 0
Deprecated in favor of autocreate_post.
conversations: 0
Enable the XCONVERSATIONS extensions. Extract
conversation tracking information from incoming messages and track them in
per-user databases.
conversations_counted_flags: <none>
space-separated list of flags for which per-conversation
counts will be kept. Note that you need to reconstruct the conversations
database with ctl_conversationsdb if you change this option on a running
server, or the counts will be wrong.
conversations_db: skiplist
The cyrusdb backend to use for the per-user conversations
database.
Allowed values: skiplist, sql, twoskip,
lmdb
conversations_expire_days: 90
How long the conversations database keeps the message
tracking information needed for receiving new messages in existing
conversations, in days.
crossdomains: 0
Enable cross domain sharing. This works best with alt
namespace and unix hierarchy separators on, so you get Other
Users/foo@example.com/...
crossdomains_onlyother: 0
only show the domain for users in other domains than your
own (for backwards compatibility if you're already sharing
cyrus_user: <none>
The username to use as the 'cyrus' user. If not
configured, the compile time default will be used. Can be further overridden
by setting the $CYRUS_USER environment variable.
davdriveprefix: #drive
The prefix for the DAV storage mailboxes hierarchies. The
hierarchy delimiter will be automatically appended. The public storage
hierarchy will be at the toplevel of the shared namespace. A user's personal
storage hierarchy will be a child of their Inbox.
davnotificationsprefix: #notifications
The prefix for the DAV notifications hierarchy. The
hierarchy delimiter will be automatically appended. The public notifications
hierarchy will be at the toplevel of the shared namespace. A user's personal
notifications hierarchy will be a child of their Inbox.
dav_realm: <none>
The realm to present for HTTP authentication of generic
DAV resources (principals). If not set (the default), the value of the
"servername" option will be used.
debug_command: <none>
Debug command to be used by processes started with -D
option. The string is a C format string that gets 3 options: the first is the
name of the executable (without path). The second is the pid (integer) and the
third is the service ID. Example: /usr/local/bin/gdb /usr/cyrus/bin/%s
%d
defaultacl: anyone lrs
The Access Control List (ACL) placed on a newly-created
(non-user) mailbox that does not have a parent mailbox.
defaultdomain: internal
The default domain for virtual domain support
defaultpartition: <none>
The partition name used by default for new mailboxes. If
not specified, the partition with the most free space will be used for new
mailboxes.
Note that the partition specified by this option must also be
specified as partition-name, where you substitute 'name' for the
alphanumeric string you set defaultpartition to.
defaultsearchtier: <empty string>
Name of the default tier that messages will be indexed
to. Search indexes can be organized in tiers to allow index storage in
different directories and physical media. See the man page of squatter for
details. The default search tier also requires the definition of an according
searchtierpartition-name entry.
This option MUST be specified for xapian search.
defaultserver: <none>
The backend server name used by default for new
mailboxes. If not specified, the server with the most free space will be used
for new mailboxes.
deletedprefix: DELETED
With
delete_mode set to
delayed, the
deletedprefix setting defines the prefix for the hierarchy of deleted
mailboxes.
The hierarchy delimiter will be automatically appended.
delete_mode: delayed
The manner in which mailboxes are deleted. In the default
delayed mode, mailboxes that are being deleted are renamed to a special
mailbox hierarchy under the
deletedprefix, to be removed later by
cyr_expire(8).
In immediate mode, the mailbox is removed from the
filesystem immediately.
Allowed values: immediate, delayed
delete_unsubscribe: 0
Whether to also unsubscribe from mailboxes when they are
deleted. Note that this behaviour contravenes RFC 3501 section 6.3.9,
but may be useful for avoiding user/client software confusion. The default is
'no'.
deleteright: c
Deprecated - only used for backwards compatibility with
existing installations. Lists the old RFC 2086 right which was used to
grant the user the ability to delete a mailbox. If a user has this right, they
will automatically be given the new 'x' right.
disable_user_namespace: 0
Preclude list command on user namespace. If set to 'yes',
the LIST response will never include any other user's mailbox. Admin users
will always see all mailboxes. The default is 'no'
disable_shared_namespace: 0
Preclude list command on shared namespace. If set to
'yes', the LIST response will never include any non-user mailboxes. Admin
users will always see all mailboxes. The default is 'no'
disconnect_on_vanished_mailbox: 0
If enabled, IMAP/POP3/NNTP clients will be disconnected
by the server if the currently selected mailbox is (re)moved by another
session. Otherwise, the missing mailbox is treated as empty while in use by
the client.
ischedule_dkim_domain: <none>
The domain to be reported as doing iSchedule DKIM
signing.
ischedule_dkim_key_file: <none>
File containing the private key for iSchedule DKIM
signing.
ischedule_dkim_selector: <none>
Name of the selector subdividing the domain namespace.
This specifies the actual key used for iSchedule DKIM signing within the
domain.
duplicate_db: twoskip
The cyrusdb backend to use for the duplicate delivery
suppression and sieve. Allowed values: skiplist, sql,
twoskip, lmdb
duplicate_db_path: <none>
The absolute path to the duplicate db file. If not
specified, will be configdirectory/deliver.db
duplicatesuppression: 1
If enabled, lmtpd will suppress delivery of a message to
a mailbox if a message with the same message-id (or resent-message-id) is
recorded as having already been delivered to the mailbox. Records the mailbox
and message-id/resent-message-id of all successful deliveries.
event_content_inclusion_mode: standard
The mode in which message content may be included with
MessageAppend and MessageNew. "standard" mode is the default
behavior in which message is included up to a size with the notification. In
"message" mode, the message is included and may be truncated to a
size. In "header" mode, it includes headers truncated to a size. In
"body" mode, it includes body truncated to a size. In
"headerbody" mode, it includes full headers and body truncated to a
size Allowed values: standard, message, header,
body, headerbody
event_content_size: 0
Truncate the message content that may be included with
MessageAppend and MessageNew. Set 0 to include the entire message itself
event_exclude_flags: <none>
Don't send event notification for given IMAP
flag(s)
event_exclude_specialuse: \Junk
Don't send event notification for folder with given
special-use attributes. Set ALL for any folder
event_extra_params: timestamp
Space-separated list of extra parameters to add to any
appropriated event.
Allowed values: bodyStructure, clientAddress,
diskUsed, flagNames, messageContent,
messageSize, messages, modseq, service,
timestamp, uidnext, vnd.cmu.midset,
vnd.cmu.unseenMessages, vnd.cmu.envelope,
vnd.cmu.sessionId, vnd.cmu.mailboxACL, vnd.cmu.mbtype,
vnd.cmu.davFilename, vnd.cmu.davUid,
vnd.fastmail.clientId, vnd.fastmail.sessionId,
vnd.fastmail.convExists, vnd.fastmail.convUnseen,
vnd.fastmail.cid, vnd.fastmail.counters
event_groups: message mailbox
Space-separated list of groups of related events to turn
on notification
Allowed values: message, quota, flags,
access, mailbox, subscription, calendar,
applepushservice
event_notifier: <none>
Notifyd(8) method to use for "EVENT"
notifications which are based on the
RFC 5423. If not set,
"EVENT" notifications are disabled.
expunge_mode: delayed
The mode in which messages (and their corresponding cache
entries) are expunged. "default" mode is the old behavior in which
the message files are purged at the time of the EXPUNGE, but index and cache
records are retained to facilitate QRESYNC. (Note that this behaviour is no
longer the default, but is so named for historical reasons.) In
"delayed" mode, which is the default since Cyrus 2.5.0, the message
files are also retained, allowing unexpunge to rescue them. In
"immediate" mode, both the message files and the index records are
removed as soon as possible. In all cases, nothing will be finally purged
until all other processes have closed the mailbox to ensure they never see
data disappear under them. In "default" or "delayed" mode,
a later run of "cyr_expire" will clean out the retained records (and
possibly message files). This reduces the amount of I/O that takes place at
the time of EXPUNGE and should result in greater responsiveness for the
client, especially when expunging a large number of messages. Allowed values:
default, immediate, delayed
failedloginpause: 3
Number of seconds to pause after a failed login.
flushseenstate: 1
Deprecated. No longer used
foolstupidclients: 0
If enabled, only list the personal namespace when a LIST
"*" is performed (it changes the request to a LIST
"INBOX*").
force_sasl_client_mech: <none>
Force preference of a given SASL mechanism for client
side operations (e.g., murder environments). This is separate from (and
overridden by) the ability to use the <host shortname>_mechs option to
set preferred mechanisms for a specific host
fulldirhash: 0
If enabled, uses an improved directory hashing scheme
which hashes on the entire username instead of using just the first letter as
the hash. This changes hash algorithm used for quota and user directories and
if
hashimapspool is enabled, the entire mail spool.
Note that this option CANNOT be changed on a live system. The
server must be quiesced and then the directories moved with the
rehash utility.
hashimapspool: 0
If enabled, the partitions will also be hashed, in
addition to the hashing done on configuration directories. This is recommended
if one partition has a very bushy mailbox tree.
debug: 0
If enabled, allow syslog() to pass LOG_DEBUG
messages.
hostname_mechs: <none>
Force a particular list of SASL mechanisms to be used
when authenticating to the backend server hostname (where hostname is the
short hostname of the server in question). If it is not specified it will
query the server for available mechanisms and pick one to use. - Cyrus
Murder
hostname_password: <none>
The password to use for authentication to the backend
server hostname (where hostname is the short hostname of the server) - Cyrus
Murder
httpallowcompress: 1
If enabled, the server will compress response payloads if
the client indicates that it can accept them. Note that the compressed data
will appear in telemetry logs, leaving only the response headers as
human-readable.
httpallowcors: <none>
A wildmat pattern specifying a list of origin URIs (
scheme "://" host [ ":" port ] ) that are allowed to make
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) requests on the server. By default, CORS
requests are disabled.
Note that the scheme and host should both be lowercase, the port
should be omitted if using the default for the scheme (80 for http, 443 for
https), and there should be no trailing '/' (e.g.:
"http://www.example.com:8080",
"https://example.org").
httpallowtrace: 0
Allow use of the TRACE method.
Note that sensitive data might be disclosed by the response.
httpallowedurls: <none>
Space-separated list of relative URLs (paths) rooted at
"httpdocroot" (see below) to be served by httpd. If set, this option
will limit served static content to only those paths specified (returning
"404 Not Found" to any other client requested URLs). Otherwise,
httpd will serve any content found in "httpdocroot".
Note that any path specified by "rss_feedlist_template"
is an exception to this rule.
httpcontentmd5: 0
If enabled, HTTP responses will include a Content-MD5
header for the purpose of providing an end-to-end message integrity check
(MIC) of the payload body. Note that enabling this option will use additional
CPU to generate the MD5 digest, which may be ignored by clients anyways.
httpdocroot: <none>

(html/text/jpeg/gif files, etc) rooted at this directory. Otherwise, httpd
will not serve any static content.
httpkeepalive: 20
Set the length of the HTTP server's keepalive heartbeat
in seconds. The default is 20. The minimum value is 0, which will disable the
keepalive heartbeat. When enabled, if a request takes longer than
httpkeepalive seconds to process, the server will send the client
provisional responses every httpkeepalive seconds until the final
response can be sent
httpmodules: <empty string>
Space-separated list of HTTP modules that will be enabled
in
httpd(8). This option has no effect on modules that are disabled at compile
time due to missing dependencies (e.g. libical).
Note that "domainkey" depends on "ischedule"
being enabled, and that both "freebusy" and "ischedule"
depend on "caldav" being enabled. Allowed values: admin,
caldav, carddav, domainkey, freebusy,
ischedule, rss, tzdist, webdav
httpprettytelemetry: 0
If enabled, HTTP response payloads including
server-generated markup languages (HTML, XML) will utilize line breaks and
indentation to promote better human-readability in telemetry logs. Note that
enabling this option will increase the amount of data sent across the
wire.

Set the length of the HTTP server's inactivity autologout
timer, in minutes. The default is 5. The minimum value is 0, which will
disable persistent connections.
idlesocket: {configdirectory}/socket/idle
Unix domain socket that idled listens on.
ignorereference: 0
For backwards compatibility with Cyrus 1.5.10 and earlier
-- ignore the reference argument in LIST or LSUB commands.
imapidlepoll: 60
The interval (in seconds) for polling for mailbox changes
and ALERTs while running the IDLE command. This option is used when idled is
not enabled or cannot be contacted. The minimum value is 1. A value of 0 will
disable IDLE.

If enabled, the server responds to an ID command with a
parameter list containing: version, vendor, support-url, os, os-version,
command, arguments, environment. Otherwise the server returns NIL.

The implicit Access Control List (ACL) for the owner of a
mailbox.
@include: <none>
Directive which includes the specified file as part of
the configuration. If the path to the file is not absolute, CYRUS_PATH is
prepended.
improved_mboxlist_sort: 0
If enabled, a special comparator will be used which will
correctly sort mailbox names that contain characters such as ' ' and '-'.
Note that this option SHOULD NOT be changed on a live system. The
mailboxes database should be dumped (ctl_mboxlist) before the option is
changed, removed, and then undumped after changing the option. When not
using flat files for the subscriptions databases the same has to be done
(cyr_dbtool) for each subscription database See
improved_mboxlist_sort.html.
internaldate_heuristic: standard
Mechanism to determine email internaldates on
delivery/reconstruct. "standard" uses time() when delivering a
message, mtime on reconstruct. "receivedheader" looks at the top

if enabled, CAPABILITIES will reply with LITERAL- rather
than LITERAL+ (RFC 7888). Doesn't actually size-restrict uploads
though
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: 1
If enabled, lmtpd will convert the recipient addresses to
lowercase (up to a '+' character, if present).
lmtp_fuzzy_mailbox_match: 0
If enabled, and the mailbox specified in the detail part
of the recipient (everything after the '+') does not exist, lmtpd will try to
find the closest match (ignoring case, ignoring whitespace, falling back to
parent) to the specified mailbox name.
lmtp_over_quota_perm_failure: 0
If enabled, lmtpd returns a permanent failure code when a
user's mailbox is over quota. By default, the failure is temporary, causing
the MTA to queue the message and retry later.
lmtp_strict_quota: 0
If enabled, lmtpd returns a failure code when the
incoming message will cause the user's mailbox to exceed its quota. By
default, the failure won't occur until the mailbox is already over
quota.
lmtp_strict_rfc2821: 1
By default, lmtpd will be strict (per RFC 2821)
with regards to which envelope addresses are allowed. If this option is set to
false, 8bit characters in the local-part of envelope addresses are changed to
'X' instead. This is useful to avoid generating backscatter with certain MTAs
like Postfix or Exim which accept such messages.
lmtpsocket: {configdirectory}/socket/lmtp
Unix domain socket that lmtpd listens on, used by
deliver(8). This should match the path specified in
cyrus.conf(5).
lmtptxn_timeout: 300
Timeout (in seconds) used during a lmtp transaction to a
remote backend (e.g. in a murder environment). Can be used to prevent hung
lmtpds on proxy hosts when a backend server becomes unresponsive during a lmtp
transaction. The default is 300 - change to zero for infinite.
loginrealms: <empty string>
The list of remote realms whose users may authenticate
using cross-realm authentication identifiers. Separate each realm name by a
space. (A cross-realm identity is considered any identity returned by SASL
with an "@" in it.).

If enabled, any authentication identity which has
a rights on a user's INBOX may log in as that user.
logtimestamps: 0
Include notations in the protocol telemetry logs
indicating the number of seconds since the last command or response.
mailbox_default_options: 0
Default "options" field for the mailbox on
create. You'll want to know what you're doing before setting this, but it can
apply some default annotations like duplicate supression
mailbox_initial_flags: <none>
space-separated list of permanent flags which will be
pre-set in every newly created mailbox. If you know you will require
particular flag names then this avoids a possible race condition against a
client that fills the entire 128 available slots. Default is NULL, which is no
flags. Example: $Label1 $Label2 $Label3 NotSpam Spam
mailnotifier: <none>
Notifyd(8) method to use for "MAIL"
notifications. If not set, "MAIL" notifications are disabled.
maxheaderlines: 1000
Maximum number of lines of header that will be processed
into cache records. Default 1000. If set to zero, it is unlimited. If a
message hits the limit, an error will be logged and the rest of the lines in
the header will be skipped. This is to avoid malformed messages causing giant
cache records
maxlogins_per_host: 0
Maximum number of logged in sessions allowed per host,
zero means no limit
maxlogins_per_user: 0
Maximum number of logged in sessions allowed per user,
zero means no limit
maxmessagesize: 0
Maximum incoming LMTP message size. If non-zero, lmtpd
will reject messages larger than maxmessagesize bytes. If set to 0,
this will allow messages of any size (the default).
maxquoted: 131072
Maximum size of a single quoted string for the parser.
Default 128k
maxword: 131072
Maximum size of a single word for the parser. Default

Space-separated list of metadata files to be stored on a
metapartition rather than in the mailbox directory on a spool
partition. Allowed values: header, index, cache,
expunge, squat, annotations, lock, dav,
archivecache
metapartition-name: <none>
The pathname of the metadata partition name,
corresponding to spool partition partition-name. For any mailbox
residing in a directory on partition-name, the metadata files listed in
metapartition_files will be stored in a corresponding directory on
metapartition-name. Note that not every partition-name option is
required to have a corresponding metapartition-name option, so that you
can selectively choose which spool partitions will have separate metadata
partitions.
mupdate_authname: <none>
The SASL username (Authentication Name) to use when
authenticating to the mupdate server (if needed).
mupdate_config: standard
The configuration of the mupdate servers in the Cyrus
Murder. The "standard" config is one in which there are discreet

which a server can be both a frontend and backend. The "replicated"
config is one in which multiple backend servers all share the same mailspool,
but each have their own "replicated" copy of mailboxes.db. Allowed
values: standard, unified, replicated
munge8bit: 1
If enabled, lmtpd munges messages with 8-bit characters
in the headers. The 8-bit characters are changed to `X'. If reject8bit
is enabled, setting munge8bit has no effect. (A proper solution to
non-ASCII characters in headers is offered by RFC 2047 and its
predecessors.)
mupdate_connections_max: 128
The max number of connections that a mupdate process will
allow, this is related to the number of file descriptors in the mupdate
process. Beyond this number connections will be immediately issued a BYE
response.

If enabled at compile time, this specifies a URL to reply
when Netscape asks the server where the mail administration HTTP server is.
Administrators should set this to a local resource.
newsaddheaders: to
Space-separated list of headers to be added to incoming
usenet articles. Added
To: headers will contain email delivery
addresses corresponding to each newsgroup in the
Newsgroups: header.
Added
Reply-To: headers will contain email delivery addresses
corresponding to each newsgroup in the
Followup-To: or
Newsgroups: header. If the specified header(s) already exist in an
article, the email delivery addresses will be appended to the original header
body(s).
This option applies if and only if the newspostuser option
is set. Allowed values: to, replyto
newsgroups: *
A wildmat pattern specifying which mailbox hierarchies
should be treated as newsgroups. Only mailboxes matching the wildmat will
accept and/or serve articles via NNTP. If not set, a default wildmat of
"*" (ALL shared mailboxes) will be used. If the newsprefix
option is also set, the default wildmat will be translated to
"<newsprefix>.*"
newsmaster: news
Userid that is used for checking access controls when
executing Usenet control messages. For instance, to allow articles to be
automatically deleted by cancel messages, give the "news" user the
'd' right on the desired mailboxes. To allow newsgroups to be automatically
created, deleted and renamed by the corresponding control messages, give the
"news" user the 'c' right on the desired mailbox hierarchies.
newspeer: <none>
A list of whitespace-separated news server specifications
to which articles should be fed. Each server specification is a string of the
form [user[:pass]@]host[:port][/wildmat] where 'host' is the fully qualified
hostname of the server, 'port' is the port on which the server is listening,
'user' and 'pass' are the authentication credentials and 'wildmat' is a
pattern that specifies which groups should be fed. If no 'port' is specified,
port 119 is used. If no 'wildmat' is specified, all groups are fed. If 'user'
is specified (even if empty), then the NNTP POST command will be used to feed
the article to the server, otherwise the IHAVE command will be used.
A '@' may be used in place of '!' in the wildmat to prevent
feeding articles cross-posted to the given group, otherwise cross-posted
articles are fed if any part of the wildmat matches. For example, the string
"peer.example.com:*,!control.*,@local.*" would feed all groups
except control messages and local groups to peer.example.com. In the case of
cross-posting to local groups, these articles would not be fed.
newspostuser: <none>
Userid used to deliver usenet articles to newsgroup
folders (usually via lmtp2nntp). For example, if set to "post",
email sent to "post+comp.mail.imap" would be delivered to the
"comp.mail.imap" folder.
When set, the Cyrus NNTP server will add the header(s) specified
in the newsaddheaders option to each incoming usenet article. The
added header(s) will contain email delivery addresses corresponding to each
relevent newsgroup. If not set, no headers are added to usenet articles.
newsprefix: <none>
Prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make the
corresponding IMAP mailbox names.
newsrc_db_path: <none>
The absolute path to the newsrc db file. If not
specified, will be configdirectory/fetchnews.db
nntptimeout: 3
Set the length of the NNTP server's inactivity autologout
timer, in minutes. The minimum value is 3, the default.

used to store * Apple-style Notes. Default is blank (disabled)
notifysocket: {configdirectory}/socket/notify
Unix domain socket that the mail notification daemon
listens on.
notify_external: <none>
Path to the external program that
notifyd(8) will call to
send mail notifications.
The external program will be called with the following command
line options:
And the notification message will be available on
stdin.
partition-name: <none>
The pathname of the partition name. At least one
partition pathname MUST be specified. If the defaultpartition option is
used, then its pathname MUST be specified. For example, if the value of the
defaultpartion option is part1, then the partition-part1
field is required.
outbox_sendlater: 0
If enabled, any message with a Draft flag will be sent at
the time of its INTERNALDATE
partition_select_mode: freespace-most
Partition selection mode.
- random
- (pseudo-)random selection
- freespace-most
- partition with the most free space (KiB)
- freespace-percent-most
- partition with the most free space (%)
- freespace-percent-weighted
- each partition is weighted according to its free space (%); the more free
space the partition has, the more chances it has to be selected
- freespace-percent-weighted-delta
- each partition is weighted according to its difference of free space (%)
compared to the most used partition; the more the partition is lagging
behind the most used partition, the more chances it has to be selected
Note that actually even the most used partition has a few
chances to be selected, and those chances increase when other partitions
get closer
Allowed values: random, freespace-most,
freespace-percent-most, freespace-percent-weighted,
freespace-percent-weighted-delta
partition_select_exclude: <none>
List of partitions to exclude from selection mode.
partition_select_usage_reinit: 0
For a given session, number of operations (e.g.
partition selection) for which partitions usage data are cached.
partition_select_soft_usage_limit: 0
Limit of partition usage (%): if a partition is over that
limit, it is automatically excluded from selection mode.
If all partitions are over that limit, this feature is not used
anymore.
plaintextloginpause: 0
Number of seconds to pause after a successful plaintext
login. For systems that support strong authentication, this permits users to
perceive a cost of using plaintext passwords. (This does not affect the use of
PLAIN in SASL authentications.)
plaintextloginalert: <none>
Message to send to client after a successful plaintext
login.
popexpiretime: -1
The number of days advertised as being the minimum a
message may be left on the POP server before it is deleted (via the CAPA
command, defined in the POP3 Extension Mechanism, which some clients may
support). "NEVER", the default, may be specified with a negative
number. The Cyrus POP3 server never deletes mail, no matter what the value of
this parameter is. However, if a site implements a less liberal policy, it
needs to change this parameter accordingly.
popminpoll: 0
Set the minimum amount of time the server forces users to
wait between successive POP logins, in minutes.
popsubfolders: 0
Allow access to subfolders of INBOX via POP3 by using
userid+subfolder syntax as the authentication/authorization id.
poppollpadding: 1
Create a softer minimum poll restriction. Allows
poppollpadding connections before the minpoll restriction is triggered.
Additionally, one padding entry is recovered every
popminpoll minutes.
This allows for the occasional polling rate faster than popminpoll, (i.e., for
clients that require a send/receive to send mail) but still enforces the rate
long-term. Default is 1 (disabled).
The easiest way to think of it is a queue of past connections,
with one slot being filled for every connection, and one slot being cleared
every popminpoll minutes. When the queue is full, the user will not
be able to check mail again until a slot is cleared. If the user waits a
sufficient amount of time, they will get back many or all of the slots.
poptimeout: 10
Set the length of the POP server's inactivity autologout
timer, in minutes. The minimum value is 10, the default.
popuseacl: 0
Enforce IMAP ACLs in the pop server. Due to the nature of
the POP3 protocol, the only rights which are used by the pop server are 'r',
't', and 's' for the owner of the mailbox. The 'r' right allows the user to
open the mailbox and list/retrieve messages. The 't' right allows the user to
delete messages. The 's' right allows messages retrieved by the user to have
the \Seen flag set (only if popuseimapflags is also enabled).
popuseimapflags: 0
If enabled, the pop server will set and obey IMAP flags.
Messages having the \Deleted flag are ignored as if they do not exist.
Messages that are retrieved by the client will have the \Seen flag set. All
messages will have the \Recent flag unset.
postmaster: postmaster
Username that is used as the 'From' address in rejection
MDNs produced by sieve.
postuser: <empty string>
Userid used to deliver messages to shared folders. For
example, if set to "bb", email sent to "bb+shared.blah"
would be delivered to the "shared.blah" folder. By default, an email
address of "+shared.blah" would be used.
proc_path: <none>
Path to proc directory. Default is NULL - must be an
absolute path if specified. If not specified, the path $configdirectory/proc/
will be used.
proxy_authname: proxy
The authentication name to use when authenticating to a
backend server in the Cyrus Murder.
proxy_compress: 0
Try to enable protocol-specific compression when
performing a client connection to a backend server in the Cyrus Murder.
Note that this should only be necessary over slow network
connections. Also note that currently only IMAP and MUPDATE support
compression.
proxy_password: <none>
The default password to use when authenticating to a
backend server in the Cyrus Murder. May be overridden on a host-specific basis
using the hostname_password option.
proxy_realm: <none>
The authentication realm to use when authenticating to a
backend server in the Cyrus Murder
proxyd_allow_status_referral: 0
Set to true to allow proxyd to issue referrals to clients
that support it when answering the STATUS command. This is disabled by default
since some clients issue many STATUS commands in a row, and do not cache the
connections that these referrals would cause, thus resulting in a higher
authentication load on the respective backend server.
proxyd_disable_mailbox_referrals: 0
Set to true to disable the use of mailbox-referrals on
the proxy servers.
proxyservers: <none>
A list of users and groups that are allowed to proxy for
other users, separated by spaces. Any user listed in this will be allowed to
login for any other user: use with caution. In a standard murder this option
should ONLY be set on backends. DO NOT SET on frontends or things won't work
properly.
pts_module: afskrb

canonicalization, do the final 524 conversion to get a n AFS style name (using
'.' instead of '/', and using short names
ptskrb5_strip_default_realm: 1
When using the AFSKRB ptloader module with Kerberos 5
canonicalization, strip the default realm from the userid (this does not
affect the stripping of realms specified by the afspts_localrealms
option)

authenticating to an IMAP/sync server.
reverseacls: 0
At startup time, ctl_cyrusdb -r will check this value and
it will either add or remove reverse ACL pointers from mailboxes.db
rfc2046_strict: 0
If enabled, imapd will be strict (per RFC 2046)
when matching MIME boundary strings. This means that boundaries containing
other boundaries as substrings will be treated as identical. Since enabling
this option will break some messages created by Eudora 5.1 (and earlier), it
is recommended that it be left disabled unless there is good reason to do
otherwise.
rfc2047_utf8: 0
If enabled, imapd will parse any non-encoded character
sequence in MIME header values as UTF8. This is useful for installations that
either advertise the UTF8SMTP (RFC 5335) extension or receive mails
with improperly escaped UTF-8 byte sequences. It is recommended that this
option is left disabled unless there is good reason to do otherwise.
rfc3028_strict: 1
If enabled, Sieve will be strict (per RFC 3028)
with regards to which headers are allowed to be used in address and envelope
tests. This means that only those headers which are defined to contain
addresses will be allowed in address tests and only "to" and
"from" will be allowed in envelope tests. When disabled, ANY
grammatically correct header will be allowed.
rss_feedlist_template: <none>
File containing HTML that will be used as a template for
displaying the list of available RSS feeds. A single instance of the variable
%RSS_FEEDLIST% should appear in the file, which will be replaced by a nested
unordered list of feeds. The toplevel unordered list will be tagged with an id
of "feed" (<ul id='feed'>) which can be used by stylesheet(s)
in your template. The dynamically created list of feeds based on the HTML
template will be accessible at the "/rss" URL on the server.
rss_feeds: *
A wildmat pattern specifying which mailbox hierarchies
should be treated as RSS feeds. Only mailboxes matching the wildmat will have
their messages available via RSS. If not set, a default wildmat of
"*" (ALL mailboxes) will be used.
rss_maxage: 0
Maximum age (in days) of items to display in an RSS
channel. If non-zero, httpd will only display items received within the last
rss_maxage days. If set to 0, all available items will be displayed
(the default).
rss_maxitems: 0
Maximum number of items to display in an RSS channel. If
non-zero, httpd will display no more than the rss_maxitems most recent
items. If set to 0, all available items will be displayed (the default).
rss_maxsynopsis: 0
Maximum RSS item synopsis length. If non-zero, httpd will
display no more than the first rss_maxsynopsis characters of an item's
synopsis. If set to 0, the entire synopsis will be displayed (the
default).
rss_realm: <none>
The realm to present for HTTP authentication of RSS
feeds. If not set (the default), the value of the "servername"
option will be used.

If enabled, the SASL library will automatically create
authentication secrets when given a plaintext password. See the SASL
documentation.
sasl_maximum_layer: 256
Maximum SSF (security strength factor) that the server
will allow a client to negotiate.
sasl_minimum_layer: 0
The minimum SSF that the server will allow a client to
negotiate. A value of 1 requires integrity protection; any higher value
requires some amount of encryption.
sasl_option: 0
Any SASL option can be set by preceding it with
sasl_. This file overrides the SASL configuration file.
sasl_pwcheck_method: <none>
The mechanism used by the server to verify plaintext
passwords. Possible values include "auxprop", "saslauthd",
and "pwcheck".

(default 20). Note that long batches may delay user commands or mail
delivery.
search_normalisation_max: 1000
A resource bound for the combinatorial explosion of
search expression tree complexity caused by normalising expressions with many
OR nodes. These can use more CPU time to optimise than they save IO time in
scanning folders.
search_engine: none
The indexing engine used to speed up searching.
Allowed values: none, squat, sphinx,
xapian
search_fuzzy_always: 0
Whether to enable RFC 6203 FUZZY search for all
IMAP SEARCH. If turned on, search attributes will be searched using FUZZY
search by default. If turned off, clients have to explicitly use the FUZZY
search key to enable fuzzy search for regular SEARCH commands.
search_index_headers: 1
Whether to index headers other than From, To, Cc, Bcc,
and Subject. Experiment shows that some headers such as Received and
DKIM-Signature can contribute up to 2/3rds of the index size but almost
nothing to the utility of searching. Note that is header indexing is disabled,
headers can still be searched, the searches will just be slower.
search_indexed_db: twoskip
The cyrusdb backend to use for the search latest indexed
uid state.
Allowed values: flat, skiplist, twoskip,
lmdb
search_maxtime: <none>
The maximum number of seconds to run a search for before
aborting. Default of no value means search "forever" until other
timeouts.
search_skipdiacrit: 1
When searching, should diacriticals be stripped from the
search terms. The default is "true", a search for "hav"
will match "Håvard". This is not RFC 5051 complient,
but it backwards compatible, and may be preferred by some sites.
search_skiphtml: 0
If enabled, HTML parts of messages are skipped, i.e. not
indexed and not searchable. Otherwise, they're indexed.
search_whitespace: merge
When searching, how whitespace should be handled. Options
are: "skip" (default in 2.3 and earlier series) - where a search for
"equi" would match "the quick brown fox".
"merge" - the default, where "he qu" would match "the
quick brownfox", and "keep", where whitespace must match
exactly. The default of "merge" is recommended for most cases - it's
a good compromise which keeps words separate. Allowed values: skip,
merge, keep
search_snippet_length: 255
The maximum byte length of a snippet generated by the
XSNIPPETS command. Only supported by the Xapian search backend, which attempts
to always fill search_snippet_length bytes in the generated snippet.
search_stopword_path: <none>
The absolute base path to the search stopword lists. If
not specified, no stopwords will be taken into account during search indexing.
Currently, the only supported and default stop word file is
english.list.
searchpartition-name: <none>
The pathname where to store the xapian search indexes of
searchtier for mailboxes of partition
name. This must be
configured for the
defaultsearchtier and any additional search tier
(see squatter for details).
For example: if defaultpartition is defined as part1 and
defaultsearchtier as tier1 then the configuration must contain an
entry tier1searchpartition-part1 that defines the path where to store
this tier1's search index for the part1 partition.
This option MUST be specified for xapian search.
seenstate_db: twoskip
The cyrusdb backend to use for the seen state.
Allowed values: flat, skiplist, twoskip,
lmdb

- same as for partition selection, comparing the free space (%) of the least
used partition of each backend
- freespace-percent-weighted-delta
- same as for partition selection, comparing the free space (%) of the least
used partition of each backend.
Allowed values: random, freespace-most,

freespace-percent-weighted-delta
serverlist_select_usage_reinit: 0
For a given session, number of operations (e.g.
backend selection) for which backend usage data are cached.
serverlist_select_soft_usage_limit: 0
Limit of backend usage (%): if a backend is over that
limit, it is automatically excluded from selection mode.
If all backends are over that limit, this feature is not used
anymore.
servername: <none>
This is the hostname visible in the greeting messages of
the POP, IMAP and LMTP daemons. If it is unset, then the result returned from
gethostname(2) is used. This is also the value used by murder clusters to
identify the host name. It should be resolvable by DNS to the correct host,
and unique within an active cluster. If you are using low level replication
(e.g. drbd) then it should be the same on each copy and the DNS name should
also be moved to the new master on failover.
serverinfo: on
The server information to display in the greeting and
capability responses. Information is displayed as follows:
"off" = no server information in the greeting
or capabilities
"min" = servername in the greeting; no server
information in the capabilities

greeting; product version in the capabilities
Allowed values: off, min, on
sharedprefix: Shared Folders
If using the alternate IMAP namespace, the prefix for the
shared namespace. The hierarchy delimiter will be automatically
appended.
sieve_allowreferrals: 1

imapflags notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy date index
imap4flags mailbox mboxmetadata servermetadata variables
Space-separated list of Sieve extensions allowed to be
used in sieve scripts, enforced at submission by
timsieved(8). Any previously
installed script will be unaffected by this option and will continue to
execute regardless of the extensions used. This option has no effect on
options that are disabled at compile time (e.g., "regex"). Allowed
values:
fileinto,
reject,
vacation,
vacation-seconds,

Notifyd(8) method to use for "SIEVE"
notifications. If not set, "SIEVE" notifications are disabled.
This method is only used when no method is specified in the
script.
sieveusehomedir: 0
If enabled, lmtpd will look for Sieve scripts in user's
home directories: ~user/.sieve.
anysievefolder: 0
It must be "yes" in order to permit the
autocreation of any INBOX subfolder requested by a sieve filter, through the
"fileinto" action. (default = no)
singleinstancestore: 1
If enabled, imapd, lmtpd and nntpd attempt to only write
one copy of a message per partition and create hard links, resulting in a
potentially large disk savings.
skiplist_always_checkpoint: 1
If enabled, this option forces the skiplist cyrusdb
backend to always checkpoint when doing a recovery. This causes slightly more
IO, but on the other hand leads to more efficient databases, and the entire
file is already "hot".
skiplist_unsafe: 0
If enabled, this option forces the skiplist cyrusdb
backend to not sync writes to the disk. Enabling this option is NOT
RECOMMENDED.
soft_noauth: 1
If enabled, lmtpd returns temporary failures if the
client does not successfully authenticate. Otherwise lmtpd returns permanent
failures (causing the mail to bounce immediately).

(currently only used for xconvmultisort) Allowed values: skiplist,
twoskip, lmdb
specialuse_extra: <none>

that can be set on a mailbox. RFC 6154 currently lists what special-use
attributes can be set. This allows extending that list in the future or adding
your own if needed.
specialusealways: 0
If enabled, this option causes LIST and LSUB output to
always include the XLIST "special-use" flags
sphinx_text_excludes_odd_headers: 0
If enabled, Sphinx will perform a TEXT search as if it
matches FROM, TO, CC, BCC or SUBJECT but not any other headers. This is
contrary to the RFC but a more useful behaviour for most users. Default:
disabled.
sphinx_socket: {configdirectory}/socket/sphinx
Unix domain socket that the Sphinx searchd daemons
listens on.
sphinx_pidfile: /var/run/sphinx.pid
File where the Sphinx searchd daemon writes its

allowing chaining of replicas. Use this on 'B' for A => B => C
replication layout
sync_log_channels: <none>
If specified, log all events to multiple log files in
directories specified by each "channel". Each channel can then be
processed separately, such as by multiple
sync_client(8)s in a mesh
replication scheme, or by
squatter(8) for rolling search index updates.
You can use "" (the two-character string U+22 U+22) to
mean the default sync channel.
sync_log_unsuppressable_channels: squatter
If specified, the named channels are exempt from the
effect of setting sync_log_chain:off, i.e. they are always logged to by the
sync_server process. This is only really useful to allow rolling search
indexing on a replica.
sync_password: <none>
The default password to use when authenticating to a sync
server. Prefix with a channel name to only apply for that channel
sync_port: <none>
Name of the service (or port number) of the replication
service on replica host. Prefix with a channel name to only apply for that
channel. If not specified, and if sync_try_imap is set to "yes" (the

The authentication realm to use when authenticating to a
sync server. Prefix with a channel name to only apply for that channel
sync_repeat_interval: 1

If using the alternate IMAP namespace, the prefix for the
other users namespace. The hierarchy delimiter will be automatically
appended.
unix_group_enable: 1
Should we look up groups when using auth_unix (disable

behavior. Admissible values are: "warning", "notice",
"info", "debug", "trace", "quiet". The
default verbosity is "warning". Set to "notice" for a few
lines on a per-client basis. Set to "info" for a few lines on a
per-request basis. Set to "debug" Set to "trace" to
activate the underlying libcurl debug output. Enabling a verbosity higher to
equal than "debug" requires the cyrus to be set in debug mode. The
special "quiet" value disables all kinds of logging at the GLib
level.
caringo_hostname: <none>
The Caringo hostname used to store archived email
messages. A hostname identifies the physical platform cyrus must contact. This
directive is used by the Caringo's SDK (CastorSDK: Caringo Simple Content
