Strange "IMAP connection broken (server response)" errors
Hello,
We upgraded one of our dovecot servers to debian stretch with dovecot
2.2.27 and since then one of our users has been experiencing random IMAP
failures.
We enabled raw logging at the server side and it shows normal IMAP
commands/responses:
1507292522.222427 * 6 FETCH (FLAGS () BODYSTRUCTURE ("text"
"plain"
("charset" "us-ascii")
NIL NIL "7bit" 4645 112 NIL NIL NIL NIL))
1507292522.222653 00000011 OK Fetch completed (0.006 + 0.000 secs).
On the client side the user runs alpine and the corresponding debug lines:
IMAP DEBUG 14:22:02.216167: 00000011 FETCH 6 (BODYSTRUCTURE FLAGS)
14:22:02.217396
IMAP 14:22:02 10/6 mm_notify bye:
{[127.0.0.1]:1555/imap/user="ha4aa"}INBOX: [CLOSED] IMAP connection
broken
(server response)
14:22:02.217471
IMAP 14:22:02 10/6 mm_log error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server
response)
The "[127.0.0.1]:1555/imap/user="ha4aa" part in the log comes
from an
socat inserted between the client and the server to check independetly the
imap session. According to socat, the server response didn't reach the
client!:
00000010 OK Fetch completed (0.005 + 0.000 secs).\r> 2017/10/06 14:22:02.216299 length=40 from=845 to=884
00000011 FETCH 6 (BODYSTRUCTURE FLAGS)\r
and here ends the socat log, the server response didn't reach the client.
The same alpine package is used against older dovecot servers from debian
jessie and works flawlessly.
The server and client are both KVM guests and there's no any content
filtering software between them. There's no corresponding error in the
dovecot log file and dovecot didn't regard the connection broken and
detected client close:
...
Oct 6 14:19:44 mail2 dovecot: imap(ha4aa): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Opened
mail UID=55244 because: MIME part
Oct 6 14:22:02 mail2 dovecot: imap(ha4aa): Connection closed in=797
out=73151
We are out of the ideas what can be the reason for the random lost server
responses.
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Jozsef

Any help is highly welcomed!
