25 This module implements cyradm in Perl. It is a shell around
26 Cyrus::IMAP::Admin. Commands are provided in both Tcl-compatible forms
27 and GNU-style long option forms.
28
30 "authenticate" ["--minssf" N] ["--maxssf" N] ["--mechanisms" list]
31 ["--service" name] ["--tlskey" keyfile] ["--notls"] ["--cafile"
32 cacertfile] ["--capath" cacertdir] [user]
33 "auth" ["--minssf" N] ["--maxssf" N] ["--mechanisms" list] ["--service"
34 name] ["--tlskey" keyfile] ["--notls"] ["--cafile" cacertfile]
35 ["--capath" cacertdir] [user]
36 "login" ["--minssf" N] ["--maxssf" N] ["--mechanisms" list]
37 ["--service" name] ["--tlskey" keyfile] ["--notls"] ["--cafile"
38 cacertfile] ["--capath" cacertdir] [user]
39 Authenticate to server. You must already be connected to a server
40 and Cyrus imapd will refuse to allow you to re-authenticate once
41 you have authenticated once.
42 "chdir" directory
44 "cd" directory
45 Change directory. A "pwd" builtin is not provided, but the default
46 command action will run "pwd" from a shell if invoked.
47 "createmailbox" ["--partition" partition] ["--specialuse" specialuse]
49 mailbox
50 "create" ["--partition" partition] ["--specialuse" specialuse] mailbox
51 "create" ["--specialuse" specialuse] mailbox partition
52 "cm" ["--partition" partition] ["--specialuse" specialuse] mailbox
53 "cm" ["--specialuse" specialuse] mailbox partition
54 Create a mailbox on the default or a specified partition. Both
55 old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted (combining them will
56 produce an error). Optionally assign a special use to the mailbox.
57 "deleteaclmailbox" mailbox id [...]
59 "deleteacl" mailbox id [...]
60 "dam" mailbox id [...]
61 Remove ACLs from the specified mailbox.
62 "deletemailbox" mailbox
64 "delete" mailbox
65 "dm" mailbox
66 Delete the specified mailbox.
67 Administrators do not have implicit delete rights on mailboxes.
69 Use the setaclmailbox command to grant the "x" permission to your
70 principal if you need to delete a mailbox you do not own.
71 Note that the online help admits to an optional host argument.
73 This argument is not currently used, and will be rejected with an
74 error if specified; it is reserved for IMSP.
75 "disconnect"
77 "disc"
78 Disconnect from the current server. The prompt will revert to
79 "cyradm>".
80 "exit" [number]
82 "quit" [number]
83 Exit cyradm, optionally with a specific exit status; the exit
84 status of the last command will be used if one is not specified.
85 help [command]
87 ? [command]
88 Show help for "command" or all commands.
89 "getmetadata" [mailbox]
91 "getmd" [mailbox]
92 Display mailbox/server metadata
93 "info" [mailbox]
95 Display the mailbox/server annotations.
96 "listaclmailbox" mailbox
98 "listacl" mailbox
99 "lam" mailbox
100 List ACLs on the specified mailbox.
101 "listmailbox" ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [pattern [reference]]
103 "list" ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [pattern [reference]]
104 "lm" ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [pattern [reference]]
105 List all, or all subscribed or special-use, mailboxes matching the
106 specified pattern. The pattern may have embedded wildcards '*' or
107 '%', which match anything or anything except the separator
108 character, respectively.
109 Mailboxes returned will be relative to the specified reference if
111 one is specified. This allows a mailbox list to be limited to a
112 particular hierarchy.
113 In some cases when the '%' wildcard is used to end a pattern, it
115 may match an entry which is not a mailbox but which contains other
116 mailboxes. In this case, the entry will be parenthesized to
117 indicate that it is a root for other mailboxes, as opposed to a
118 mailbox itself.
119 "listquota" root
121 "lq" root
122 List quotas on specified root. If the specified mailbox path does
123 not have a quota assigned, an error will be raised; see
124 listquotaroot for a way to find the quota root for a mailbox.
125 "listquotaroot" mailbox
127 "lqm" mailbox
128 "lqr" mailbox?
129 show quota roots and quotas for mailbox
130 "mboxconfig" ["--private"] mailbox attribute value
132 "mboxcfg" ["--private"] mailbox attribute value
133 Set mailbox metadata, optionally set the private instead of the
134 shared version of the metadata. A value of "none" will remove the
135 attribute.
136 The currently supported attributes are:
138 "comment"
140 Sets a comment or description associated with the mailbox.
141 "expire"
143 Sets the number of days after which messages will be expired
144 from the mailbox.
145 "news2mail"
147 Sets an email address to which messages injected into the
148 server via NNTP will be sent.
149 "pop3showafter"
151 Sets a time (in RFC3501 format, for example "6-Jan-2011
152 11:45:32 +1100") which specifies a cutoff date such that POP3
153 fetching of the folder does not see messages whose internaldate
154 is before or equal to the date.
155 "sharedseen"
157 Enables the use of a shared \Seen flag on messages rather than
158 a per-user \Seen flag. The 's' right in the mailbox ACL still
159 controls whether a user can set the shared \Seen flag.
160 "sieve"
162 Indicates the name of the global sieve script that should be
163 run when a message is delivered to the shared mailbox (not used
164 for personal mailboxes).
165 "squat"
167 Indicates that the mailbox should have a squat index created
168 for it.
169 "/explicit/annotation"
171 Sets the annotation /explicit/annotation on mailbox to value.
172 "renamemailbox" ["--partition" partition] oldname newname
174 "rename" ["--partition" partition] oldname newname
175 "renm" ["--partition" partition] oldname newname
176 "renamemailbox" oldname newname [partition]
177 "rename" oldname newname [partition]
178 "renm" oldname newname [partition]
179 Rename the specified mailbox, optionally moving it to a different
180 partition. Both old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted;
181 combining them will produce an error.
182 server [--noauthenticate] [server]
184 connect [--noauthenticate] [server]
185 servername [--noauthenticate] [server]
186 With no arguments, show the current server. With an argument,
187 connect to that server. It will prompt for automatic login unless
188 the "--noauthenticate" option is specified. (This may change; in
189 particular, either automatic authentication will be removed or all
190 "authenticate" options will be added.)
191 When connected to a server, the cyradm prompt changes from
193 "cyradm>" to "servername>", where servername is the fully qualified
194 domain name of the connected server.
195 "setaclmailbox" mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
197 "setacl" mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
198 "sam" mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
199 Set ACLs on a mailbox. The ACL may be one of the special strings
200 "none", "read" ("lrs"), "post" ("lrsp"), "append" ("lrsip"),
201 "write" ("lrswipkxten"), "delete" ("lrxten"), or "all"
202 ("lrswipkxten"), or any combinations of the ACL codes:
203 l Lookup (mailbox is visible to LIST/LSUB, SUBSCRIBE mailbox)
205 r Read (SELECT/EXAMINE the mailbox, perform STATUS)
207 s Seen (set/clear \SEEN flag via STORE, also set \SEEN flag
209 during
210 APPEND/COPY/FETCH BODY[...])
211 w Write flags other than \SEEN and \DELETED
213 i Insert (APPEND, COPY destination)
215 p Post (send mail to mailbox)
217 k Create mailbox (CREATE new sub-mailboxes, parent for new
219 mailbox in RENAME)
220 x Delete mailbox (DELETE mailbox, old mailbox name in RENAME)
222 t Delete messages (set/clear \DELETED flag via STORE, also set
224 \DELETED
225 flag during APPEND/COPY)
226 e Perform EXPUNGE and expunge as part of CLOSE
228 a Administer (SETACL/DELETEACL/GETACL/LISTRIGHTS)
230 n Add, delete or modify annotations
232 "setinfo" attribute value
234 Set server metadata. A value of "none" will remove the attribute.
235 The currently supported attributes are:
236 "motd"
238 Sets a "message of the day". The message gets displayed as an
239 ALERT after authentication.
240 "comment"
242 Sets a comment or description associated with the server.
243 "admin"
245 Sets the administrator email address for the server.
246 "shutdown"
248 Sets a shutdown message. The message gets displayed as an
249 ALERT and all users are disconnected from the server
250 (subsequent logins are disallowed).
251 "expire"
253 Sets the number of days after which messages will be expired
254 from the server (unless overridden by a mailbox annotation).
255 "squat"
257 Indicates that all mailboxes should have a squat indexes
258 created for them (unless overridden by a mailbox annotation).
259 "setmetadata" [--private] mailbox [annotation] value
261 "setmd" [--private] mailbox [annotation] value
262 Set metadata on mailbox, where <annotation> is one of
263 [comment|expire|news2mail|pop3showafter|sharedseen|sieve|specialuse|
264 squat|/<explicit annotation>].
265 Note that flags with a leading backslash must be escaped with an
267 additional backslash. For example:
268 setmetadata --private Spam specialuse "\\Junk"
270 Note, too, that "private" annotations are private to the user
272 currently authenticated as, not necessarily the owner of the
273 mailbox. To set annotations for another user you must authorize as
274 that user.
275 In addition to the use of optional flag --private, one may use a
277 more explicit syntax, prefixing the annotation with '/shared/' or
278 '/private/' as in this example:
279 setmetadata Spam /private/specialuse "\\Junk"
281 "setquota" root resource value [resource value ...]
283 "sq" root resource value [resource value ...]
284 Set a quota on the specified root, which may or may not be an
285 actual mailbox. The only resource understood by Cyrus is
286 "STORAGE". The value may be the special string "none" which will
287 remove the quota.
288 "version"
290 "ver"
291 Display the version info of the current server.
292 "xfermailbox" ["--partition" partition] mailbox server
294 "xfer" ["--partition" partition] mailbox server
295 "xfermailbox" mailbox server [partition]
296 "xfer" mailbox server [partition]
297 Transfer (relocate) the specified mailbox to a different server.
298 Both old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted; combining them
299 will produce an error.
300
302 GNU-style long options must be given in their entirety; Tcl-style
303 options may be abbreviated.
304 Tcl-style options are provided as a compatibility feature. They will
306 probably go away in the future.
307 Multiple commands can be given on a line, separated by ';' characters.
309 All commands set an exit status, which at present is not useful.
311 Unknown commands are passed to a subshell for execution.
313 The Tcl version of cyradm is used for scripting as well as
315 interactively. While this is possible to a limited extent by use of
316 the "run" method, scripting would normally be done with
317 "Cyrus::IMAP::Admin", which is far more flexible than either
318 interactive "cyradm" or the Tcl scripting mechanism for Cyrus.
319 cyradm understands /bin/sh-style redirection: any command can have its
321 standard or error output redirected, with all sh-style redirections
322 (except "<>") supported. It does not currently understand pipes or
323 backgrounding.
324 If the "Term::Readline::Perl" or "Term::Readline::GNU" modules are
326 available, cyradm will use it.
327 An alias facility is implemented internally, but no access is currently
329 provided to it. This will change, if only to allow some of the
330 predefined aliases to be removed if they conflict with useful shell
331 commands.
