Cyrus-IMAP 2.2.13-14ubuntu3.1 Postfix 2.5.5-1.1 Spamassassin 3.2.5-4ubuntu0.0.1 I'm not certain this is a Cyrus issue, but Cyrus is the thing that i've changed recently. I've suddenly got a bunch of the following errors in my log: Nov 7 13:48:56 artemis postfix/pipe[31890]: 5A9A57A0EE6: to=<admin@REMOVED>, relay=procmail, delay=3.2, delays=3/0.01/0 /0.22, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: procmail: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmai l.log" procmail: [31891] Mon Nov 7 13:48:55 2011 procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Flag: YES" procmail: Executing "/usr/sb in/cyrdeliver,-a,admin@REMOVED,-m,user.admin@REMOVED" procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -a admin@REMOVED -m user.admin@REMOVED" Subject: Re: REMOVED Folder: **Requeued** 8802057 ) I searched online and found that the problem was (maybe) a permissions issue. Figuring that I'd temporarily resolve it until learning more, I tried: sudo chmod ugo+w /var/log/procmail.log ... and re-started Postfix. Now i'm seeing: postfix/pipe[32052]: 8A0BF7A0EE9: to=<admin@REMOVED>, relay=procmail, delay=1, delays=0.99/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via procmail service) postfix/qmgr[31998]: 8A0BF7A0EE9: removed cyrus/master[32055]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/lmtpd cyrus/lmtpunix[32055]: executed cyrus/lmtpunix[32055]: accepted connection cyrus/lmtpunix[32055]: lmtp connection preauth'd as postman cyrus/lmtpunix[32055]: verify_user(REMOVED!user^admin) failed: Mailbox does not exist and: postfix/pipe[32199]: B05177A1189: to=<admin@REMOVED>, relay=procmail, delay=1.1, delays=1/0/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via procmail service) postfix/qmgr[31998]: B05177A1189: removed cyrus/lmtpunix[32192]: verify_user(REMOVED!user^admin) failed: Mailbox does not exist cyrus/lmtpunix[32202]: accepted connection cyrus/lmtpunix[32202]: lmtp connection preauth'd as postman cyrus/lmtpunix[32202]: verify_user(REMOVED!user^admin) failed: Mailbox does not exist postfix/pipe[32190]: 5A9A57A0EE6: to=<admin@REMOVED>, relay=procmail, delay=956, delays=950/0.5/0/5.3, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) The msg saying the mailbox doesn't exist is very worrying. As it happens, the procmail errors started showing up around the same time I created several new mailboxes. (For a different domain--the mailbox above has existed for years.) I logged in to cyradmin and listed the mailboxes. It seems fine: user/admin@REMOVED (\HasChildren) (shows also all the child fiolders) The one configuration setting that I changed at the time I created these new mailboxes was to change unixhierarchysep from "no" to "yes" as the new accounts have the dot.separated@ format. Could this be why the old mailboxes can't be found? Please don't tell me that I can use only one or the other format. Next, i came across the following: spamc[32164]: connect to spamd on 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused spamc[32164]: connect to spamd on 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#2 of 3): Connection refused spamc[32164]: connect to spamd on 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#3 of 3): Connection refused spamc[32164]: connection attempt to spamd aborted after 3 retries And then, while I was tailing mail.log, it appeared that one of the mailbox owners was trying to log in: cyrus/imaps[32403]: imaps TLS negotiation failed: modemcable228.38-48-24.mc.videotron.ca [24.48.38.228] cyrus/imaps[32403]: Fatal error: tls_start_servertls() failed cyrus/master[17882]: process 32403 exited, status 75 cyrus/master[17882]: service imaps pid 32403 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally cyrus/master[17882]: process 32406 exited, status 75 artemis cyrus/master[17882]: service imaps pid 32406 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally Yikes! So it seems that I may have several different problems on my hands. But does anyone recognise anything here that would cause all or any of this to occur suddenly? ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
