Hello Simon,
I tried you suggestion and there are no more"Sep 3 07:45:59 srv1 deliver[20650]: connect(/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp) failed: Connection refused"messages appearing in the error log file.
Many thanks for your help.
I run postfix chrooted so a hardlink pointing to /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp was required in /var/spool/postfix/var/lib/imap/socket directory. This needs to be refreshed every time cyrus is restarted.
But my collegaues told me that this is not the only problem. Cyrus pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps services become unavailable time to time. And only restart helps.Delivery from postfix to cyrus mailboxes via this new setup (direct lmtp) is OK during the outage of pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps service. The services don't die at the same time. Sometimes imap dies but pop3 still works. Restart helps. It is really strange. It was a stable system before and nothing was changed. I could find only the following errormessages in the log files:
Sep 8 01:35:00 srv1 pop3s[15591]: Fatal error: tls_start_servertls() failedSep 8 01:37:09 srv1 imaps[15687]: Fatal error: tls_start_servertls() failed
and
Sep 8 02:17:47 srv1 cyrus-master[20423]: pop3 has -5 workers?!?
There are many of such messages. I can access my mailbox using TLS without any problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Gyorgy
