I'm running 2.1.7 as downloaded/installed by Debian (and then appropriately setup for my config, ...). It almost works. I can send/receive email from thunderbird, squirrelmail, ... However there are two anomalies: 1. dovecot/log is not running. After restarting dovecot (and waiting 30 seconds), I have this in the log files: Sep 6 17:42:16 hinch4 dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.7 starting up (core dumps disabled) Sep 6 17:42:56 hinch4 dovecot: master: Error: service(anvil): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Sep 6 17:42:56 hinch4 dovecot: master: Error: service(log): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Sep 6 17:42:56 hinch4 dovecot: master: Error: service(ssl-params): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Sep 6 17:42:56 hinch4 dovecot: master: Error: service(log): child 31286 killed with signal 9 After 30 seconds, a "ps -ef | grep dovecot" yields: dovenull 1858 20223 0 18:56 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login root 1859 20223 0 18:56 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/auth -w mhinch 1860 20223 0 18:56 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap root 1862 14520 0 18:56 pts/3 00:00:00 grep dovecot root 20223 1 0 18:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf dovenull 25144 20223 0 18:55 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login dovecot 25147 20223 0 18:55 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/anvil root 25148 20223 0 18:55 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/config dovecot 25161 20223 0 18:55 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/auth root 25174 20223 0 18:55 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/ssl-params mhinch 25208 20223 0 18:55 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap Seems like everything is there except dovecot/log. ssl-params and anvil came back (?!?). A "doveadm log find" dumps this in the log: Sep 6 18:52:24 hinch4 dovecot: doveadm: Debug: This is Dovecot's debug log (1346975543) Sep 6 18:52:24 hinch4 dovecot: doveadm: This is Dovecot's info log (1346975543) Sep 6 18:52:24 hinch4 dovecot: doveadm: Warning: This is Dovecot's warning log (1346975543) Sep 6 18:52:24 hinch4 dovecot: doveadm: Error: This is Dovecot's error log (1346975543) Sep 6 18:52:24 hinch4 dovecot: doveadm: Fatal: This is Dovecot's fatal log (1346975543) However, further debugging that I try to do (see next problem) does not result in ANY further input to the log files, even though I have all known logging turned on. So I *think* that logging is not actually running. If I can get that started, then I'll take a crack at the next problem myself ... 2. However, as long as I have your attention, my next problem is that it seems like dovecot/imap-login hangs(?). After a few hours, I have something like: # ps -ef | grep dovecot dovecot 530 31186 0 18:49 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/auth root 13277 31186 0 17:47 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/config dovenull 13664 31186 0 18:44 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login root 20207 14520 0 18:54 pts/3 00:00:00 grep dovecot dovenull 27599 31186 0 18:45 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login dovenull 27601 31186 0 18:45 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login dovenull 27603 31186 0 18:45 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login dovenull 27607 31186 0 18:45 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap-login root 31186 1 0 17:42 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf dovecot 31289 31186 0 17:42 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/anvil with exactly 100 imap-login processes. I'm the only meaningful user on the machine (unless somebody is imap DoS-ing me), so this does not make much sense. Obviously thunderbird is polling the machine and each time is leaving around a imap-log process. As far as I can tell, thunderbird successfully logs in (i.e., I get mail) though I can't be sure whether these are successful logins or not (no logging!). What hangs imap-log processes for hours at a time? After a while of course, dovecot will not start any new imap-login processes so Thunderbird cannot get any more mail until I restart dovecot. Then everything is OK for another 12 hours or so. Ideas on either problem? -Mark
Something's very wrong. I have no idea what. doveconf -n output might help.
