Hi,
I'm onboard Debian Lenny (amd64) and just reverted from 2.0.2-0~auto+4 back
to 2.0.1-0~auto+1 because LMTP stopped working completly with the above
Package.
In my setup delivery is done from exim via LMTP to dovecot (Maildir/ext3).
The lmtp dovecot config looks like this:
> service lmtp {
> user = vmail
> inet_listener lmtp {
> address = 127.0.0.1
> port = 24
> }
>
> unix_listener lmtp {
> }
> }
> protocol lmtp {
> hostname = [...].de
> mail_plugins = sieve quota listescape
> postmaster_address = postmaster@[...].de
> }
With the new version I get no LMTP log message at all from dovecot and Exim
fails with:
> LMTP timeout after initial connection
When I do "/etc/init.d/dovecot stop" some process remain alive and I
ultimately have to SIGKILL the lmtp process to get rid of it.

The older version works without any problems for me.
Any ideas whats the Problem?
Could there be a regression from the LMTP fixes introduced in 2.0.2?
Cheers,
