Happy holidays! I am experiencing an issue when trying to check my mail using IMAP. with Dovecot I have tried checking my mail using a full GUI client (Thunderbird) and telnet. Both times I get disconnected before all of my messages can be downloaded and I see an error in my mail log. Here are the details:
[root@cust19-1-prod-domain userqa]# dovecot --version 2.0.9
There have been a lot of fixes since that version; can you confirm that this problem is not in 2.0.19 (or better yet, 2.1.12?)
i enabled core dumps:
echo 'DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT="unlimited"' >> /etc/sysconfig/dovecot
Does that work? The point is to set "ulimit -c unlimited". I don't know what package you're using, but Dovecot doesn't ship with an init script (at least, 2.0.9 didn't.) The only thing I know of is at http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotInit, and that doesn't use /etc/sysconfig at all.
Now I see this in /var/log/maillog:
2012-12-25T17:53:47-08:00 cust19-1-prod-domain dovecot: master: Error: service(imap): child 11265 killed with signal 11 (core dumped)
core dumps are being written here, but they're empty:
If you're still getting core dumps with 2.0.19, check your setting of "ulimit -c". It should be "unlimited" for this case. You may need to modify /etc/init.d/dovecot. My guess is that your /etc/sysconfig/dovecot modification is having no effect.
