Hello, i've got a serious problem with Cyrus Database. Since yesterday mails will just sporadically be delivered and at some time Cyrus stops work so no IMAP/POP3 access is possible. Also mails are hanging out in queue of sendmail. In the logfile i get a lots of errors which are: pop3[14196]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery lmtpunix[14197]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery pop3[14196]: DBERROR: critical database situation lmtpunix[14197]: DBERROR: critical database situation or lmtpunix[16651]: FATAL: couldn't exec() sendmail lmtpunix[16606]: sieve runtime error for bluemaex id <20061207101256.130410@xxxxxxx>: Redirect: Sendmail process terminated normally, exit status 75 lmtpunix[16606]: DBERROR db4: Locker does not exist lmtpunix[16606]: DBERROR: error fetching <20061207101256.130410@xxxxxxx>: Invalid argument or lmtpunix[16606]: IOERROR: opening /mail/spool/imap/stage./16606-1165496137-0: No such file or directory lmtpunix[16606]: IOERROR: error unlinking file /mail/spool/imap/stage./16606-1165496137-0: No such file or directory or lmtpunix[13061]: DBERROR: error closing: Invalid argument lmtpunix[13061]: DBERROR: error closing deliverdb: cyrusdb error or lmtpunix[15602]: lmtp connection preauth'd as postman lmtpunix[15602]: DBERROR ^CÏ^H^H: db4 lmtpunix[15602]: DBERROR: error fetching <20061207101256.130410@xxxxxxx>: Invalid argument lmtpunix[15602]: duplicate_check: error looking up <20061207101256.130410@xxxxxxx>/user.bluemaex: cyrusdb error lmtpunix[15602]: duplicate_check: <20061207101256.130410@xxxxxxx> user.bluemaex 0 and some more... I know these errors are database related but i don't find the failure. After a restart of cyrus imap the errors are gone for about 20 Minutes, then they'll return. I already googled about this problem and found instructions howto recreate database. There was told to delete everythin in db/ db.backup1/ and db.backup2/. Also delete deliver.db and tls_sessions.db. Then check out mailboxes with ctl_mboxlist and return them in mailboxes.db-format. But this didn't fix my problem... I don't know what to do further to get this handled. I use cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 with autocreate patch on a gentoo box. Mails are handled by sendmail with amavisd-new and sendmail to deliver them to cyrus. my imapd.conf: configdirectory: /mail/imap partition-default: /mail/spool/imap defaultpartition: default sievedir: /mail/imap/sieve tls_ca_path: /etc/ssl/certs tls_cert_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus/mail.tibdefender.com.crt tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus/mail.tibdefender.com.key admins: cyrus hashimapspool: yes allowanonymouslogin: no allowplaintext: yes sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd my cyrus.conf: START { # Do not delete this entry! recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r" } SERVICES { # Add or remove based on preferences. imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap2" prefork=0 pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop-3" prefork=0 # Don't forget to generate the needed keys for SSL or TLS # (see doc/html/install-configure.html). imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0 pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0 # at least one LMTP is required for delivery #lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0 lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 } EVENTS { # This is required. checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30 # This is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression. delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440 # This is only necessary if caching TLS sessions. tlsprune cmd="tls_prune" period=1440 # SQUAT failed, helps squatter cmd="squatter -r user" period=1440 } I hope you can help me.
