[Dovecot] POP3-Proxy error

[Christian Froemmel]

Hi,

as mentioned in another thread I discovered a crash in the pop3-proxy. It
occurs when the remote-pop3-server just drops the connection (in my case
courier was hitting the MAXPERIP-Limit). I don't have a corefile yet, but
will try to get one.

Here the message from the dovecot.log:

dovecot: Feb 02 09:30:00 Error: pop3-login: file pop3-proxy.c: line 20 
(proxy_input): assertion failed: (!client->destroyed)

dovecot: Feb 02 09:30:00 Error: child 5985 (login) killed with signal 6

It seems that the unexpected shutdown of the connection confuses dovecot.

When I increased the MAXPERIP-limit in courier the crashes went away.

regards,
Christian
