Hi,

this happens since a few days on a Gentoo hardened system using a
grsecurity enabled kernel running Dovecot 1.0.10, only to 2 of 10
users though:

--8<--

dovecot: IMAP(info): block_alloc(): Out of memory

dovecot: child 15708 (imap) returned error 83 (Out of memory)

--8<--

grsecurity only logs the attempted resource overstep.

I already increased mail_process_size to 512M and deleted the
index.cache* files inside the users maildir -- didn't help :/

Any idea why this is happening or how I could find out?

TIA :)

Argh, I broke threading by forgetting to remove the In-Reply-To:
header which was set automatically by mutt because I was using
list-reply in order to circumvent having to type the dovecot mailing
list address in by hand. Sorry :)

I googled around web and found
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-December/005665.html
by Johannes Berg that has a patch for dovecot +
cygwin. but that does not work. Does anybody
successfully compiled and running dovecot on windows
XP + cygwin 5.1.

compiling does work out of the box with standard
./configure
make
make install


But i can not run Dovecot. You can search this list for "cygwin" to
see
my posts and Timos answers.
