Greetings to all.
It's my first post to the list. We just completed a migration from qpopper to dovecot
for our IMAP and POP3 services. We have a rather large mail environment
(we are the biggest provider in Greece).
So, here are the details:
- Keep getting errors like these in our production environment
Jul 22 00:18:21 pop01 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 4078 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled)
Jul 22 00:19:31 pop03 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 18849 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled)

We have mboxes over NFS and we also have an ldap user backend. For now, I do not have a scenario
that reproduces the problem. Any idea, or input are highly appreciated. Of course I can provide
any information requested (without exposing restricted company or client data) to help trace
the problem and lead to the solution.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
