AFAIK multiple domains also have to be handled by your MTA. best regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Trexler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For completely outdated information see http://members.ping.at/wolfman/
Lot of imapd processes hangin around...
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

Hi John, I'll give it a try and set the prefork for both imap/imaps to 0. I'll have an eye on the number of imap processes... best regards Wolfgang

Where to check? I think the problem is that you authenticate against PAM instead of sasldb. Change the sasl_pwcheck_method to sasldb and try again. out of my /etc/imapd.conf ... admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no sasl_passwd_check: sasldb ...

Problem with malformed mail messages...
Hi there, since a few days I've a lot of the following entries in my system mail log (beside that cyrus/sendmail seems to work well): Dec 17 23:06:50 mailer sendmail[7092]: fB7GtA019616: fBHM6oa07092: postmaster notify: Service unavailable Dec 17 23:06:50 mailer sendmail[7092]: fBHM6oa07092: to=username1-snipped, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=91834, relay=localhost [[UNIX: /var/apps/imap/socket/lmtp]], dsn=5.6.0, stat=Service unavailable In /etc/mail/aliases I've defined several persons for postmaster and for everyone of them I can see a corresponding line in the log file. It seems that something goes wrong with this messages and that they are delivered to postmaster but can't get stored in the inbox as they are not valid. Any explanations to this? Beside that I see the following messages and similar ones in the log file: Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3203]: fBH7kMZ03203: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=128945, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=firewall2int.intern.my-domain.co.at [192.168.10.6] Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3204]: fBH7kMZ03203: to=postmaster1, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=247893, relay=localhost, dsn=5.6.0, stat=Service unavailable Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3204]: fBH7kMZ03203: to=postmaster2, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=247893, relay=localhost, dsn=5.6.0, stat=Service unavailable Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3204]: fBH7kMZ03203: to=postmaster3, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=247893, relay=localhost, dsn=5.6.0, stat=Service unavailable Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3204]: fBH7kMZ03203: to=postmaster4, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=247893, relay=localhost, dsn=5.6.0, stat=Service unavailable Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3204]: fBH7kMZ03203: fBH7kMZ03204: DSN: Service unavailable Dec 17 08:46:22 mailer sendmail[3204]: fBH7kMZ03204: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=157993, relay=[192.168.10.6] [192.168.10.6], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (fBH7kI1C006075 Message accepted for delivery) I got the following Mail message: (I changed the addresses inside for security and legal reasons) Return-Path: <> Received: from mailer.intern.my-domain.co.at ([192.168.10.1]) by firewall2.my-domain.co.at (8.12.0/8.12.0) with ESMTP id fBH7kI1C006075 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:18 +0100 Received: from localhost (localhost) by mailer.intern.my-domain.co.at (8.11.6/8.11.6) id fBH7kMZ03204; Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:22 +0100 Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:22 +0100 From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="fBH7kMZ03204.1008575182/mailer.intern.my-domain.co.at" Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (failure) This is a MIME-encapsulated message --fBH7kMZ03204.1008575182/mailer.intern.my-domain.co.at The original message was received at Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:22 +0100 from firewall2int.intern.my-domain.co.at [192.168.10.6] - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - postmaster4 (reason: 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header) (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) postmaster3 (reason: 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header) (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) postmaster2 (reason: 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header) (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) postmaster1 (reason: 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header) (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - Transcript of session follows - ... while talking to localhost: >>> DATA <<< 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable <<< 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable <<< 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable <<< 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable --fBH7kMZ03204.1008575182/mailer.intern.my-domain.co.at Content-Type: message/delivery-status Reporting-MTA: dns; mailer.intern.my-domain.co.at Received-From-MTA: DNS; firewall2int.intern.my-domain.co.at Arrival-Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:22 +0100 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: expanded (to multi-recipient alias) Status: 2.0.0 Last-Attempt-Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:22 +0100 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Actual-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.6.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Unix; 554 5.6.0 Message contains invalid header Last-Attempt-Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 08:46:22 +0100 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Actual-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.6.0 Diagnostic-Co
