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 "disconnect"
73 "disc"
74 Disconnect from the current server. The prompt will revert to
75 "cyradm>".
76 "exit" [number]
78 "quit" [number]
79 Exit cyradm, optionally with a specific exit status; the exit
80 status of the last command will be used if one is not specified.
81 help [command]
83 ? [command]
84 Show help for "command" or all commands.
85 "getmetadata" [mailbox]
87 "getmd" [mailbox]
88 Display mailbox/server metadata
89 "info" [mailbox]
91 Display the mailbox/server annotations.
92 "listaclmailbox" mailbox
94 "listacl" mailbox
95 "lam" mailbox
96 List ACLs on the specified mailbox.
97 "listmailbox" ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [pattern [reference]]
99 "list" ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [pattern [reference]]
100 "lm" ["--subscribed"] ["--specialuse"] [pattern [reference]]
101 List all, or all subscribed or special-use, mailboxes matching the
102 specified pattern. The pattern may have embedded wildcards '*' or
103 '%', which match anything or anything except the separator
104 character, respectively.
105 Mailboxes returned will be relative to the specified reference if
107 one is specified. This allows a mailbox list to be limited to a
108 particular hierarchy.
109 In some cases when the '%' wildcard is used to end a pattern, it
111 may match an entry which is not a mailbox but which contains other
112 mailboxes. In this case, the entry will be parenthesized to
113 indicate that it is a root for other mailboxes, as opposed to a
114 mailbox itself.
115 "listquota" root
117 "lq" root
118 List quotas on specified root. If the specified mailbox path does
119 not have a quota assigned, an error will be raised; see
120 listquotaroot for a way to find the quota root for a mailbox.
121 "listquotaroot" mailbox
123 "lqm" mailbox
124 "lqr" mailbox?
125 show quota roots and quotas for mailbox
126 "mboxconfig" ["--private"] mailbox attribute value
128 "mboxcfg" ["--private"] mailbox attribute value
129 Set mailbox metadata, optionally set the private instead of the
130 shared version of the metadata. A value of "none" will remove the
131 attribute.
132 The currently supported attributes are:
134 "comment"
136 Sets a comment or description associated with the mailbox.
137 "expire"
139 Sets the number of days after which messages will be expired
140 from the mailbox.
141 "news2mail"
143 Sets an email address to which messages injected into the
144 server via NNTP will be sent.
145 "pop3showafter"
147 Sets a time (in RFC3501 format, for example "6-Jan-2011
148 11:45:32 +1100") which specifies a cutoff date such that POP3
149 fetching of the folder does not see messages whose internaldate
150 is before or equal to the date.
151 "sharedseen"
153 Enables the use of a shared \Seen flag on messages rather than
154 a per-user \Seen flag. The 's' right in the mailbox ACL still
155 controls whether a user can set the shared \Seen flag.
156 "sieve"
158 Indicates the name of the global sieve script that should be
159 run when a message is delivered to the shared mailbox (not used
160 for personal mailboxes).
161 "squat"
163 Indicates that the mailbox should have a squat index created
164 for it.
165 "/explicit/annotation"
167 Sets the annotation /explicit/annotation on mailbox to value.
168 "renamemailbox" ["--partition" partition] oldname newname
170 "rename" ["--partition" partition] oldname newname
171 "renm" ["--partition" partition] oldname newname
172 "renamemailbox" oldname newname [partition]
173 "rename" oldname newname [partition]
174 "renm" oldname newname [partition]
175 Rename the specified mailbox, optionally moving it to a different
176 partition. Both old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted;
177 combining them will produce an error.
178 server [--noauthenticate] [server]
180 connect [--noauthenticate] [server]
181 servername [--noauthenticate] [server]
182 With no arguments, show the current server. With an argument,
183 connect to that server. It will prompt for automatic login unless
184 the "--noauthenticate" option is specified. (This may change; in
185 particular, either automatic authentication will be removed or all
186 "authenticate" options will be added.)
187 When connected to a server, the cyradm prompt changes from
189 "cyradm>" to "servername>", where servername is the fully qualified
190 domain name of the connected server.
191 "setaclmailbox" mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
193 "setacl" mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
194 "sam" mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
195 Set ACLs on a mailbox. The ACL may be one of the special strings
196 "none", "read" ("lrs"), "post" ("lrsp"), "append" ("lrsip"),
197 "write" ("lrswipkxten"), "delete" ("lrxten"), or "all"
198 ("lrswipkxten"), or any combinations of the ACL codes:
199 l Lookup (mailbox is visible to LIST/LSUB, SUBSCRIBE mailbox)
201 r Read (SELECT/EXAMINE the mailbox, perform STATUS)
203 s Seen (set/clear \SEEN flag via STORE, also set \SEEN flag
205 during
206 APPEND/COPY/FETCH BODY[...])
207 w Write flags other than \SEEN and \DELETED
209 i Insert (APPEND, COPY destination)
211 p Post (send mail to mailbox)
213 k Create mailbox (CREATE new sub-mailboxes, parent for new
215 mailbox in RENAME)
216 x Delete mailbox (DELETE mailbox, old mailbox name in RENAME)
218 t Delete messages (set/clear \DELETED flag via STORE, also set
220 \DELETED
221 flag during APPEND/COPY)
222 e Perform EXPUNGE and expunge as part of CLOSE
224 a Administer (SETACL/DELETEACL/GETACL/LISTRIGHTS)
226 n Add, delete or modify annotations
228 "setinfo" attribute value
230 Set server metadata. A value of "none" will remove the attribute.
231 The currently supported attributes are:
232 "motd"
234 Sets a "message of the day". The message gets displayed as an
235 ALERT after authentication.
236 "comment"
238 Sets a comment or description associated with the server.
239 "admin"
241 Sets the administrator email address for the server.
242 "shutdown"
244 Sets a shutdown message. The message gets displayed as an
245 ALERT and all users are disconnected from the server
246 (subsequent logins are disallowed).
247 "expire"
249 Sets the number of days after which messages will be expired
250 from the server (unless overridden by a mailbox annotation).
251 "squat"
253 Indicates that all mailboxes should have a squat indexes
254 created for them (unless overridden by a mailbox annotation).
255 "setmetadata" [--private] mailbox [annotation] value
257 "setmd" [--private] mailbox [annotation] value
258 Set metadata on mailbox, where <annotation> is one of
259 [comment|expire|news2mail|pop3showafter|sharedseen|sieve|specialuse|
260 squat|/<explicit annotation>].
261 Note that flags with a leading backslash must be escaped with an
263 additional backslash. For example:
264 setmetadata --private Spam specialuse "\\Junk"
266 Note, too, that "private" annotations are private to the user
268 currently authenticated as, not necessarily the owner of the
269 mailbox. To set annotations for another user you must authorize as
270 that user.
271 In addition to the use of optional flag --private, one may use a
273 more explicit syntax, prefixing the annotation with '/shared/' or
274 '/private/' as in this example:
275 setmetadata Spam /private/specialuse "\\Junk"
277 "setquota" root resource value [resource value ...]
279 "sq" root resource value [resource value ...]
280 Set a quota on the specified root, which may or may not be an
281 actual mailbox. The only resource understood by Cyrus is
282 "STORAGE". The value may be the special string "none" which will
283 remove the quota.
284 "version"
286 "ver"
287 Display the version info of the current server.
288 "xfermailbox" ["--partition" partition] mailbox server
290 "xfer" ["--partition" partition] mailbox server
291 "xfermailbox" mailbox server [partition]
292 "xfer" mailbox server [partition]
293 Transfer (relocate) the specified mailbox to a different server.
294 Both old-style and getopt-style usages are accepted; combining them
295 will produce an error.
296
298 GNU-style long options must be given in their entirety; Tcl-style
299 options may be abbreviated.
300 Tcl-style options are provided as a compatibility feature. They will
302 probably go away in the future.
303 Multiple commands can be given on a line, separated by ';' characters.
305 All commands set an exit status, which at present is not useful.
307 Unknown commands are passed to a subshell for execution.
309 The Tcl version of cyradm is used for scripting as well as
311 interactively. While this is possible to a limited extent by use of
312 the "run" method, scripting would normally be done with
313 "Cyrus::IMAP::Admin", which is far more flexible than either
314 interactive "cyradm" or the Tcl scripting mechanism for Cyrus.
315 cyradm understands /bin/sh-style redirection: any command can have its
317 standard or error output redirected, with all sh-style redirections
318 (except "<>") supported. It does not currently understand pipes or
319 backgrounding.
320 If the "Term::Readline::Perl" or "Term::Readline::GNU" modules are
322 available, cyradm will use it.
323 An alias facility is implemented internally, but no access is currently
325 provided to it. This will change, if only to allow some of the
326 predefined aliases to be removed if they conflict with useful shell
327 commands.
