    Hello everyone!
    I was trying to make some test over backing up and recovery a simple IMAP
    server inside a LAN.
    First I have uninstalled cyrus-imapd and cyrus-sasl-saslathd RPMs from my
    SuSE 10.1.

    Second I've deleted cyrus user from my system.

    I overrided the folowing directories:
    /var/spool/imap
    /var/lib/imap
    /var/lib/sieve
    with the ones of te system I would recover.

    Then I've created a plaintext backup of mailboxes.db using (as root):
    su -cyrus -c "ctl_mailboxlist -d" > mailboxlist.txt

    I've build a database from the plaintext using:
    cvt_cyrusdb mailboxlist.txt

    Now I can connect to Cyrus with:
    telnet localhost 143
    as every user listed with:
    sasldblistusers
    except as cyrus.

    I think this is the source for strange messages I find in
    /valr/log/messages like:
    lmtpunix[21679]: IOERROR: fstating sieve script
    /var/lib/sieve/u/utente/defaultbc: No such file or directory

    My server IMAP can receive mails from inside and outside the LAN.
    Anyway, it's unconfortable I receive:
    0: NO "authentication failed"

    for the command:
     testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p cyrus

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Stefano C.
