Hi there, I've set up a new mail server (Cyrus 2.0.16) a few weeks ago and it's not working as smooth as I'm accustomed to with Cyrus. From time to time the server stops excepting new imap connections (from different clients) and seems unreachable from outside. We had this situation three times by now. Kill the master process with -TERM and restart it did solve the problem. Unfortunately I was out of office at that times and therefore could not look at the machine as it happend for further investigation.
Anyway, examination of the log files did not bring up any clues, nothing seemed extraordinary. What I found is that, despite there is only one user on the machine right now, I've more than 60 imapd instances running. Some of them for a quite long time, since the last restart of the master process (2nd Nov.). It would be nice if you could help me out or give me further tips how to find the problem! The machine is Linux 2.4.10 i686, I compiled the cyrus with: ./configure --prefix=/var/apps/cyrus-imapd --with-cyrus-prefix=/var/apps/cyrus-imapd/server --with-auth=unix --enable-netscapehack --with-cyrus-group=smmsp Enclosed my configuration as well as a snapshot of the process list. best regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Trexler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For completely outdated information see http://members.ping.at/wolfman/ cyrus.conf: # standard standalone server implementation START { # do not delete these entries! mboxlist cmd="ctl_mboxlist -r" deliver cmd="ctl_deliver -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/apps/imap/sockets SERVICES { # add or remove based on preferences imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=10 imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=10 # pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=3 # pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=1 sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=3 # at least one LMTP is required for delivery # lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0 lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/apps/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1 } EVENTS { # this is required checkpoint cmd="ctl_mboxlist -c" period=30 # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440 } imapd.conf configdirectory: /var/apps/imap partition-default: /var/apps/imap/spool admins: cyrus root srvtab: /var/apps/imap/srvtab allowanonymouslogin: no # sasl_passwd_check: shadow sasl_passwd_check: sasldb sieveusehomedir: false tls_cert_file: /var/apps/imap/server.pem tls_key_file: /var/apps/imap/server.pem sieveusehomedir: false sievedir: /var/apps/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail Process list: cyrus 28447 1 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 /var/apps/cyrus-imapd/server/bin/master cyrus 28454 28447 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 timsieved cyrus 28456 28447 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 28458 28447 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 timsieved cyrus 28478 28447 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 timsieved cyrus 6392 28447 0 Nov05 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 6466 28447 0 Nov05 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 6836 28447 0 Nov05 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 7688 28447 0 Nov05 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 11312 28447 0 Nov06 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 11359 28447 0 Nov06 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 11833 28447 0 Nov06 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 11979 28447 0 Nov06 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 12177 28447 0 Nov06 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 12299 28447 0 Nov06 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15980 28447 0 Nov07 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 16309 28447 0 Nov07 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 17052 28447 0 Nov07 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 21465 28447 0 Nov07 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 21985 28447 0 Nov07 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 24784 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 24786 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 25416 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 25572 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 26366 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 26550 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 27087 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 27323 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 27873 28447 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 29728 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 29933 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 30411 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 30658 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 30674 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 31046 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 32198 28447 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 6798 28447 0 Nov11 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 6799 28447 0 Nov11 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 6936 28447 0 Nov11 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 8965 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 8978 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 9023 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 9859 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 10348 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 10349 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 10382 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 10398 28447 0 Nov12 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 13343 28447 0 09:28 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 13344 28447 0 09:28 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 13528 28447 0 10:27 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 13590 28447 0 10:39 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 14841 28447 0 15:56 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 14850 28447 0 15:59 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15590 28447 0 17:59 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15671 28447 0 18:10 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15721 28447 0 18:15 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 15722 28447 0 18:15 ? 00:00:00 imapd -s cyrus 15756 28447 0 18:22 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15776 28447 0 18:26 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15872 28447 0 18:39 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15893 28447 0 18:44 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15944 28447 0 18:51 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 15951 28447 0 18:53 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 16001 28447 0 19:02 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 16137 28447 0 19:45 ? 00:00:00 imapd cyrus 16435 28447 0 21:21 ? 00:00:00 lmtpd
