Hi to all, I have a Debian 4.0 x86_64 server and installed Dovecot from the repositories ii dovecot-common 1.0.rc15-2etch5 ii dovecot-imapd 1.0.rc15-2etch5 ii dovecot-pop3d 1.0.rc15-2etch5 Recently I'm getting a lot of these messages pop3[24594]: segfault at 0000000000000004 rip 000000000044333a rsp 00007fffc5d0c1e0 error 4 in syslog and also dmesg. Also the load of the servers keeps increasing (like above 100) and when dovecot is stopped the load decreases. What problem could this be and how can I resolve it? Thanks, Enid

If you must upgrade the entire OS, it is now time to do so. -- Best regards, Charles
Hi Charles, I did upgrade (with some difficulties because the server is in production) with the tar.gz version 2.0.3 but although these messages keep repeating. Is this problem related with the Dovecot sw or related with the OS or server HW?
