Here is my first major problem with dovecot. I am running rc15 on FreeBSD 6.1. I run dovecot supervised by DJB's daemontools. I run only the pop3 service.
A colleague informed me that pop3 service was simply not responding. They could not rcv mail. When I checked the server, tail-ing dovecot.log, here is what was scrolling:
[wash@nbi ~]$ tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: Nov 23 18:04:11 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: rip=196.200.37.94, lip=62.8.64.64 dovecot: Nov 23 18:04:11 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: rip=196.200.42.212, lip=196.200.36.2
Did you have auth_verbose=yes? It might have shown something more.
Also you could have tried to do telnet localhost pop3 and try to login manually, and see where it got stuck.
- What could the problem be?
I'm guessing dovecot-auth got stuck. What passdb and userdb do you use?
- How can I reproduce it.
Dunno. :)
