The following bug has been CLOSED ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000058 ====================================================================== Reported By: danweber Assigned To: ilja ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Bug ID: 58 Category: IMAP daemon Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: urgent Status: closed ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 24-Jul-04 03:48 CEST Last Modified: 25-Aug-04 14:16 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: accept single connection from same host Description: The imap is only accepting a single connection from same host at one time, while if you are behind a nat this can be trouble some. For more information I have documented this in my own bts for personal purposes.
Make the email have the following To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: -F 10 That will spew out information about the report. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aaron - 29-Jul-04 09:39 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ubject: one connection from same host only >Number: 10 >Notify-List: >Category: dbmail >Synopsis: one connection from same host only >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Responsible: dan >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: dan >Arrival-Date: Fri Jul 23 21:35:58 -0400 2004 >Last-Modified: Fri Jul 23 22:47:33 -0400 2004 >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dan Weber) >Release: 2.0rc8-CVS HEAD >Organization: >Environment: Linux 2.6 i686 >Description: DBMail is only accepting imap connections from the same host one at a time, this can have problems if you have users behind nat both with imap accounts. >How-To-Repeat: Try opening two different instances of your mail client and see if one has problems connecting. >Fix: Unknown at this time >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- danweber - 02-Aug-04 13:19 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This breaks a lot of mail clients, most notably thunderbird and mutt. I can have thunderbird open, and be in console and try and open mutt, and mutt can't connect. Also Thunderbird can open multiple folders either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 02-Aug-04 14:31 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm unable to reproduce this behaviour. Using a server and logging in from 2 separate terminals using telnet does not give any problems. You should give more information on the problem. E.g. add some logs, show the same thing using telnet sessions, show your dbmail.conf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- danweber - 15-Aug-04 19:13 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This bug does still exist, however, only when number of childs are low, and min childs match number of childs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 16-Aug-04 11:08 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think this is more of a configuration problem than a bug. The only thing aspect of this that you can consider a bug is that DBMail does not spawn new server daemons when there are no more idle daemon processes left. This, however, is more a structural problem than a real bug. It is solved by a patch made by Paul J Stevens, which will be added to 2.1 Bug History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 24-Jul-04 03:48danweber New Bug 28-Jul-04 22:09danweber Priority normal => high 28-Jul-04 22:09danweber Severity feature => major 28-Jul-04 22:09danweber Status new => acknowledged 29-Jul-04 09:39aaron Bugnote Added: 0000124 02-Aug-04 13:19danweber Bugnote Added: 0000129 02-Aug-04 13:19danweber Priority high => urgent 02-Aug-04 14:31ilja Bugnote Added: 0000130 04-Aug-04 15:48ilja Assigned To => ilja 04-Aug-04 15:48ilja Status acknowledged => assigned 04-Aug-04 15:48ilja Resolution open => unable to duplicate 04-Aug-04 15:48ilja Status assigned => resolved 15-Aug-04 19:13danweber Bugnote Added: 0000160 15-Aug-04 19:13danweber Resolution unable to duplicate => reopened 15-Aug-04 19:13danweber Status resolved => feedback 16-Aug-04 11:08ilja Bugnote Added: 0000162 16-Aug-04 11:08ilja Resolution reopened => not a bug 16-Aug-04 11:08ilja Status feedback => resolved 25-Aug-04 14:16ilja Status resolved => closed ======================================================================
