Today I got some strange error message in qmail-send log:

@40000000413e4445231043d4 warning: internal error: delivery report out of range


I have never seen this error before, so I'm not sure what does it mean?



From qmail-log.5:

     internal error: delivery report out of range
            qmail-lspawn  or qmail-rspawn has supplied a report
            on a nonexistent delivery.  This is a serious  bug.


I read that part, got only more confused :)


Normaly that should not happen but it could be a problem with the HUP
handler. What version of qmail-ldap are you running?


On this particular system it was 20040401, running on single-cpu x86 system, RedHat WS 3.0. Do you need to know versions of some libraries and stuff, to find out what the problem is?



You should try a newer version. There were some nasty type cast issues
that caused irregular delivery numbers (I think that a concurrency of over
256 did not work and SIGHUP is passed as delivery 48879 aka 0xbeef).

Actually I reduced concurrency level to 255 originally (I don't remember what the problem was, just remember it didn't work at higher levels).
I will try upgrading to see if the SIGHUP handling was the source of a problem. Is the 20040801 "stable" release or I will need some other patches on top of it?


Thanks!
