Apple Released Mail Server Update 1.0 for Mac OS X Server 10.3.9
The Mail Server Update delivers overall improved reliability and is recommended for all systems running mail services on Mac OS X Server version 10.3.9. It includes improvements for:
- more accurate reconstruction of mail database files
Apple further noted that the cyrus mail database may need to be reconstructed:
This update addresses an issue in which cyrus mail services on Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 may eventually stop working, leaving the mail database in an unsettled state after the cyrus mailbox database has been reconstructed.
If you have already encountered mail server issues, you should reconstruct the cyrus mailbox database using these steps:
1. Stop the cyrus (IMAP/POP) server.
2. Execute the following command in Terminal:
sudo -u cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -i
3. Restart the cyrus (IMAP/POP) server, and verify that mail is working.
We installed the update on our Mac OS X Server v10.3.9 without issue but we do not use mail services so we can not confirm any problems or fixes. [Bill Fox]
