Hi, I am using postfix / cyrus on a Gentoo Linux box for ahem...a while (10 years) now. Current cyrus is 2.4.17, postfix 2.9.5 , the box is a dual Xeon (2.4 GHz, family 15, model2, stepping 7), 2 GB memory, a HW RAID 5 (ICP Vortex, now Intel), and yes it 10 years old this year. Never had problems and Gentoo grew up and so did cyrus. We use lmtp (127.0.0.1:24) for local delivery. Starting from around December 2012 I have sometimes unreachable INBOX. This might happen after some OS update, but I can't remember something special. People can login, but no folder (INBOX) can be selected. The reason seems to be hanging connections between postfix and cyrus: Mar 25 15:29:44 bib-ws13 postfix/lmtp[21841]: F0FCA6EE9A7: to=<some_user@our.domain.local>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:24, delay=19018, delays=18718/0.02/0/300, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] timed out while sending MAIL FROM) [multiple times] Restarting cyrus solved the problem. There is a couple of lmtpd / imapd on the users lockfile when using lsof with grep by username. I'm - hopefully - not using any BDB stuff anymore: imapd.conf: duplicate_db: skiplist mboxlist_db: skiplist quota_db: quotalegacy tlscache_db:skiplist annotation_db: skiplist seenstate_db: flat The whole Linux is current, so I am a little bit lost.
