cyr_deny is used to deny individual users access to Cyrus services. The first synopsis denies user user access to Cyrus services, the second synopsis allows access again. cyr_deny works by adding an entry to the Cyrus user_deny.db database; the third synopsis lists the entries in the database. The service names to be matched are those as used in cyrus.conf(5).
cyr_deny reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by −C.
−C config−file
Use the specified configuration file config−file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
−a, −−allow
Allow access to all services for user user (remove any entry from the deny database).
−s services, −−services=services
Deny access only to the given services, which is a comma−separated list of wildcard patterns. The default is "*" which denies access to all services.
−m message, −−message=message
Provide a message which is sent to the user to explain why access is being denied. A default message is used if none is specified.
−l, −−list
List the entries in the deny database.
[NB: Examples needed]
This command was introduced in version 3.0.
