No it is not a DB problem, it IS a sieve problem:
Look at this piece of sieve code:
if header :contains From Muchsel {
addflag \\Flagged;
fileinto INBOX;
removeflag \\Flagged;
}
It is generated by Horde Ingo. lmtpd breaks with 4.3.0 virtual memory
exhausted. Ok the removeflag is worthless because the message is already
in the INBOX - but it should be silently ignored.
When removing the removeflag-Statement, lmtpd will accept the mail
normally.

Hmmm, I can't duplicate this. I've tried:
if header :contains From rjs3 {
addflag \\Deleted;
fileinto INBOX;
removeflag \\Deleted;
}
which behaves as I expect.

4.3.0 lmtpd: Virtual memory exhausted - problem :(
I am using Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12 (Suse Linux package, no source install allowed here), and we see some errors from lmtpd saying Virtual memory exhausted. ulimits are unlimited for every resource (no limit), and there are 4 Gigabytes of swap used by 5% and 2 Gigabytes of RAM. System is GNU/Linux 2.4.20-64GB. Our postfix mailer tries to deliver a message to a local lmtpd (Cyrus system) and here is the result: Jun 30 07:38:43 rauch postfix/lmtp[3129]: EC7FD4400088: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], orig_to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=/mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp[/mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp], delay=142730, status=deferred (host /mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp[/mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp] said: 421 4.3.0 lmtpd: Virtual memory exhausted (in reply to end of DATA command)) Has anybody seen this already? Which memory lmtpd claims to be exhausted? With no process limits at all? Pascal -- Pascal Gienger, Kanzleistrasse 14, D-78462 Konstanz Postfix+SASL-AUTH+LDAP Solaris 8: http://pgienger.de/postfix/
Re: 4.3.0 lmtpd: Virtual memory exhausted - problem :(
I investigated and found a curiosity:
That user has installed a sieve script to sort mail.
In his script he used the keyword
keep;
to keep the mail in his INBOX.
This keep is going havoc (virtual memory exhausted).
After replacing keep with 'fileinto INBOX' all things went
well.
Is this a bug in the sieve function of lmtpd?
here the NON WORKING part:
if header :comparator i;ascii-casemap :contains From Muchsel {
addflag \\Flagged;
keep;
}
This sieve code results in 4.3.0 lmtpd: Virtual memory exhausted.
here the WORKING variant:
if header :comparator i;ascii-casemap :contains From Muchsel {
addflag \\Flagged;
fileinto INBOX;
}
Any comments?
