Hi, because of a kernel update I had to restart my server. After the restart cyrmaster was running, but I couldn't connect to imap or pop3 port and sendmail couldn't communicate via socket with cyrus. A "ps ax" showed a running "cyr_expire" process for about 20 minutes. After the cyr_expire process finished everything worked fine again. Question now: is there a way to avoid such long cyr_expire checks at startup or how to do a check by hand before shutting down the cyrus so a startup would become quicker? System: Debian/lenny Cyrus: 2.2.13-14+lenny3 Sendmail: 8.14.3-5+lenny1 Thanks, Marcus P.S.: I think this cyr_expire problem might be related to my "FATAL: lmtpd: unable to init duplicate delivery database" I posted in April. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
