Well, it probably means that a socket option can not be set.  That can 
mean that the socket can not be used at all or that the socket can be 
used just not as well.

That socket option makes it so that the TOS bit on all packets is being 
set.  I don´t see how that would be required here, so maybe the socket 
works nonetheless.

It´s currently this:


# standard standalone server implementation 
 


START {
   # do not delete this entry! 
 

   recover       cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"

   # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE 
 

   idled         cmd="idled"
}

# UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/lib/imap/sockets 
 

SERVICES {
   # add or remove based on preferences 
 

   # imap                cmd="imapd" listen="127.0.0.1:imap" prefork=2 
 

   imaps         cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=1
   # pop3                cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=3 
 

   # pop3s               cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=1 
 

   sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="gupta:sieve" prefork=0
   # managesieve cmd="timsieved" listen="gupta:sieve" prefork=0 
 

   # sieve               cmd="timsieved" listen="4190" prefork=1 
 


   # these are only necessary if receiving/exporting usenet via NNTP 
 

   #  nntp               cmd="nntpd" listen="nntp" prefork=3 
 

   #  nntps              cmd="nntpd -s" listen="nntps" prefork=1 
 


   # at least one LMTP is required for delivery 
 

   lmtp          cmd="lmtpd -a" listen="lmtp" prefork=1
   # lmtpunix    cmd="lmtpd -a" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" 
prefork=1 


   # this is only necessary if using notifications 
 

   notify        cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/notify" 
proto="udp" prefork=1
}

EVENTS {
   # this is required 
 

   checkpoint    cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30

   # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression, 
 

   # Sieve or NNTP 
 

   delprune      cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400

   # this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions 
 

   tlsprune      cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
}


Apparently exim can not use the lmtp socket because of a permissions 
problem.  Not using the socket works except that timsieved appears not 
to be able to find any authentication mechanics.  I can connect to it 
but not authenticate:


# sivtest -u hw -v gupta
S: "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.4.17-Fedora-RPM-2.4.17-13.el7"
S: "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation 
imapflags notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"
S: "STARTTLS"
S: "UNAUTHENTICATE"
S: OK
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0
logout
OK "Logout Complete"
Connection closed.


I didn´t get to figure this out yet.

They are from packages installed by yum and just happen to be the same 
versions as on the old server.  I can´t tell if the same compiling 
options were used, though.

Hopefully so ...
