A BUGNOTE has been added to this bug. ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000217 ====================================================================== Reported By: robertcl Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Bug ID: 217 Category: IMAP daemon Reproducibility: random Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 09-Jun-05 10:00 CEST Last Modified: 09-Jun-05 18:51 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: Uploading via IMAP can force IMAP daemon to loop Description: In an e-mail client (I have been using Apple Mail), select a number of mail messages (20+) and drag them into an IMAP inbox or folder. The upload goes slow and quite often, although not always, the IMAP daemon starts looping, consuming all available CPU on the system, causing a denial of service situation for most other users.
Uploading a single messages or a small number of messages typically goes well. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sr - 09-Jun-05 16:59 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We recently migrated a customer's mail service from cyrus to dbmail 2.0.4 We added the new server and let the users move their mail from the old mailbox to the new one (the client is OE 6). Some of them have 5-6 thousand messages and they moved hundreds of them at a time with no problem whatsoever. Of course I'm not denying you had a problem, but it might be something related to your system/mail client edited on: 09-Jun-05 16:59 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paul - 09-Jun-05 18:51 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I would appreciate a trace_level=5 log of such a transaction. It could well be AppleMail is using some combination of commands that triggers this.
