OX6:MailNotify Bundle
From Open-Xchange
Open-Xchange Mail Push
This package handles external notifications of new mail to send push requests to mobile devices.
Description
This Bundle is currently only able to cooperate with the mail notification functionality of cyrus-imapd, but this will change in a way, that future versions will be configurable on what kind of notification protocol is required.
At the moment, this bundle listens on the address and port as configured in /opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/push_mailnotify.properties accepting UDP datagrams following the format as used in the cyrus notifyd:
notifyd/notifyd.c: method NUL class NUL priority NUL user NUL mailbox NUL nopt NUL N(option NUL) message NUL
and the only information which is currently being evaluated is the fourth one, the username.

and run
$ apt-get update $ apt-get install open-xchange-push-mailnotify
Configuration
On the server running cyrus, add the following to /etc/imapd.conf:
mailnotifier: log
In /etc/cyrus.conf take care, that cyrus own notifyd is NOT in use. If it is not commented, either do that or remove it completely.
Example:
Note: The path to the socket in this example is valid for Redhat Enterprise Linux. On Debian it is /var/lib/cyrus/socket/notify. It might be different on your installation. Please check the default in /etc/imapd.conf on your system.
# this is only necessary if using notifications # notify cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/notify" proto="udp" prefork=1
Install the program socat. Socat is a Multipurpose relay (see http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) which must be used to relay the udb datagrams from the unix domain socket to the open-xchange push bundle.
To redirect the notifications to the open-xchange server, socat must be started like this:
socat -u -4 UNIX-RECV:/var/lib/imap/socket/notify,unlink-early,perm-early=777,type=2 \
UDP-SENDTO:<YOUROXIP>:<YOURPUSHPORT>
To debug whether cyrus sends messages, you might want to add debugging to socat:
socat -d -d -d -D -v -u -4 UNIX-RECV:/var/lib/imap/socket/notify,unlink-early,perm-early=777,type=2 \
UDP-SENDTO:<YOUROXIP>:<YOURPUSHPORT>
Example Initscript for Debian
The following initscript can be used to start the socat tunnel on debian. A file /etc/default/ox-push can be created to define parameters such as DAEMON_ARGS.
After copying the script to /etc/init.d/ox-push do the following:
$ chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ox-push $ update-rc.d ox-push defaults
#! /bin/sh
