Re: [Courier-imap] Upgrade from Courier IMAP 4.0.3 to 4.0.6: pop3d-ssl login fails

Hello everyone,

I've upgraded yesterday night to Courier IMAP 4.0.6, on a Gentoo Linux system, 
x86 arch. I'm using courier-imap's own scripts to startup, instead of Gentoo 
scripts, but now I get this error in the logs:



Oct 13 13:04:26 ns35774 pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=whatever
Oct 13 13:04:26 ns35774 pop3d-ssl: pop3d: Too many arguments
Oct 13 13:04:26 ns35774 pop3d-ssl: Try `pop3d --help' or `pop3d --usage' for 
more information.




There's no such error message in Courier-IMAP.


Curiously enough, on a pstree, I see this:

  |-couriertcpd,14281 -address=0 
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger 
-stderrloggername=imapd-maxprocs=100

Just looks like a space is missing in -stderrloggername=imapd-maxprocs=100, 
doesn't it?


There's nothing that even vaguely resembles 'imapd-maxprocs' in Courier's 
startup scripts.


Remove all traces of everything you installed, then follow the instructions 
in Courier's INSTALL file to get a clean, working install.

I know...

I said:

 a space is missing

because I think it should read:

 -stderrloggername=imapd -maxprocs=100

And both the startup scripts and config files are OK. Oh yeah, I also happen 
to use Courier's original startup scripts, not Gentoo's. The only difference 
is that I upgraded to 4.0.6.

Oh, please! Is there somewhere in your vocabulary the word nice or anything? 
I cured the problem anyway (back to 4.0.3), and I don't write to the list to 
get bashed upon like this. If you don't want to/can help, pleas refrain from 
answering.

Thanks (not),

I run Fedora FC6 and Red Hat RHEL5 with rpms built from Sam's tarballs, 
I've been running Courier IMAP (literally) for years and there is 
*nothing* in my ps stuff or startup scripts like yours. It's always 
worked perfectly, apart from a given time that I cocked up my rpm build 
environment and Brian had to sort it out for me (my cheeks are still red).

You are *not* running Sam's stuff, you are running something else.

What does nice (a Unix term for process priority) have to do with 
anything? Sam does not suffer fools gladly. Follow what the man says to 
the letter, and you will have no more problems.

Look in @libexecdir@/imapd.rc.


 You are *not* running Sam's stuff, you are running something else.


I _DO_ _RUN_ _THEM_, damnit! Gentoo's custom scripts are broken. Quoting my 
first mail:

 I'm using courier-imap's own scripts to startup, instead of Gentoo 
 scripts

[ I'm not retarded as to not know what nice means, thank you very much. Ya 
know, nice has a meaning in English, too. I won't comment on the fool.]

Nice as in giving hints, being helpful or the like. You know, such 
as Courier's pop3d never outputs such a message, are you sure this is the 
good pop3d? Check with your package manager or There is a -stderrlogname 
and a -maxprocs option, something else is wrong (again, I told that I was 
using Courier IMAP's own startup scripts).

And indeed:

* the pop3d was not the good one. I also have GNU mailutils installed, 
and /usr/sbin/pop3d was the mailutils one. The thing is, in 4.0.3, the Gentoo 
build substitutes pop3d for courier-pop3d in the startup scripts, it's not 
done in the 4.0.6 build, hence the error;

* the no space error is a bug in the installed pstree! It truncates the line 
if it's over a certain length but for some reason it does not put a space in 
front of the last argument. The MySQL command lines, also very long, exhibit 
the same behaviour, but I noticed this only after I came back to the working 
4.0.3 install and observed the same bug.

That's definitely somebody else's pop3d, not courier-imap; courier's pop3d
doesn't offer you any --help on its arguments.

I expect that you have some other pop3d on your system, instead of or in
addition to courier's.

 Curiously enough, on a pstree, I see this:
 
   |-couriertcpd,14281 -address=0 
 -stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger 
 -stderrloggername=imapd-maxprocs=100

Is that the *complete* couriertcpd command line? It appears to be
incomplete.

Try ps auxwww (with as many w's as needed). Also, use netstat -natp to
prove that the process which is listening on the pop3 port really is this
process.

Regards,

Brian.
