Greetings,
I recently upgraded our server from Dovecot 1.0.14 to 1.1.1. I am building using the FreeBSD ports system, so nothing is custom aside from the flags set there.
dovecot fell down a few days after the update with:
pid 1823 (imap), uid 1000: exited on signal 11
the mail log shows:
Jul 4 14:36:07 hostname dovecot: IMAP(username): Corrupted index cache file /home/username/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 10462
Jul 4 14:36:07 hostname dovecot: child 1823 (imap) killed with signal 11
unfortunately I do not have a core. The closest thing I could find in the Changelog is:
Can you still reproduce this crash? http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html lists some things about how to get a core dump.
Message that caused the crash: attached
I doubt the message itself had anything to do with it. Just deleting dovecot.index.cache probably fixes the issue?
Anyway I just tried causing the "Broken MIME parts" error myself. I couldn't get Dovecot to crash (and the problem got fixed automatically).
