Hello,
I'm currently using Simon's rpms on a Centos 4 murder setup. For
awhile now, I've been getting (occasionally) 15-20 minutes worth of
"Deferred" messages from sendmail. I never believed it was sendmail,
but I've been having issues proving that. We managed to get the
debug_command going in Cyrus, and have now found that it's lmtpd
that's seg faulting, but I'm still confused as to why.
This happens, like I said, randomly for 15-20 minutes at a time. It
will eventually start delivering fine on it's own. As a matter of
fact, any attempt at restarting services (cyrus, sendmail, etc) or
rebooting the server has NO effect (it will just keep Deferring until
it starts randomly delivering again).
At any rate, I so far have telemetry and strace logs and will paste an
example here. I hope to recompile with debugging and have a gdb
backtrace soon as well, but was wondering if anyone had ideas.
This has been happening for awhile now. It even happened occasionally
in 2.2.x tho nowhere near as bad as 2.3.x has been. This also seems to
happen after the "Rcpt to:", either before or during the DATA section.
Example telemetry log:
1154532184>220 XXXXXXXXX.net LMTP Cyrus v2.3.7-Invoca-RPM-2.3.7-2.LN1 ready

RCPT To:<jrforbes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
DATA
(and that's the last thing in the telemetry log).

I'll try to post a backtrace of a crashing lmtpd process as soon as I
can, but does anyone have any ideas as to where I can start looking?
Thanks.
