dovecot - Feb 2012 - Something is strange - perhaps my AMD processors ?

Moi Timo / all.

I've been using Dovecot on my Qmailtoaster production mailserver for
some years - since 1.0.7 and current Version 2.0.10 - works perfectly.

Now I am installing a backupsystem and a VM testsystem (2 boxes) - and
no matter how and what Version I am installing on these 2 boxes I get
below messages whenever I try to test connection with Telnet (localhost
110 / 995).
I have tried to install all Dovecot versions from 2.010 to 2.018 as
rpms, yums and as source and compiled it.

It's on Centos5.7 (64) with Qmailtoaster (which I have installed as I
have done many times before)
I have tried to copy all my settings from my current production system
(Centos 5.7, latest and greatest versions of qmailtoaster and Dovecot
2.0.10) - nothing helps.

Now I come to think of it I realize that my production system is intel
based and the 2 new ones are AMD based and wonder if this may be the case ?



Dovecot.log

master: Error: Service(auth): command startup failed, throttling
log: Error: Service(auth): child 1859 returned error 89 (Fatal failure)
pop3-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my
pid=1858, input bytes=0

 Dovecot 2.0.3 to 2.0.16 works fine on my DualCore Opterons (VMs).

auth process fails in some way.. It should have logged another error about this.
Isn't there anything else? Show your doveconf -n and dovecot --build-options
output.

Could you check how it's vpopmail connecting?

Looks like a SSL related thing with it.

HTH,

Hi Julio.

I'm not sure what You're asking.

Can You specify and I will provide the information.  I'm so puzzled 
since this is easy to install and I have done so before without many issues.

I think I'd better get the source and go through it .

Cheers,
Finn B

Hi, can you check if your vpopmail is build with 
"--disable-auth-logging" option? If yes first rebuild vpopmail without
this options, rebuild dovecot and check again.

Hi Julio / All.

I've found the issue : the password was wrong/missing in
/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql

Now all is well.

Thanks,for Your help
