💅 PTDUMP(8) — the Cyrus IMAP glow-up era

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about ptdump from the Cyrus IMAP docs 💖 (yes, the section 8 one, she's a sysadmin girlie)

✨ NAME ✨

ptdump — like, the actual Cyrus IMAP documentation for her — she's the program that dumps out the current PTS (protection database authorization) cache. that's it. that's her whole job and she eats every time 🍓

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ptdump [-C filename]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she do? ptdump outputs a list of entries from the PTS DB. that's the whole vibe. entries, listed, from the PTS DB. slay 💅

and the way she gets her settings? she reads her configuration options straight out of the imapd.conf(5) file — unless you tell her otherwise with -C. no cap, that's the only plot twist.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -C config-file — use the config file you named in config-file instead of the default imapd.conf(5). like, "bestie, read this one." 🫶

🌸 FILES 🌸

  • /etc/imapd.conf

lowkey important reminder: everything above is the real deal, so don't come for me if you skipped the -C flag and she read the wrong file 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie — periodt 💖✨

okay and for the cute sign-off moment: this was Cyrus IMAP version 3.12.3, dated Jul 15, 2026 🦋 happy dumping, ily, go check your PTS cache 🎀
