Has this happened to you again? Do you run expire-tool or some other dovecot --exec-mail command? Or was there anything else run in cron just before the first of the above errors happened?
Hi Timo,
No, this hasn't happened again. It is dovecot 2.1.5 with no extra plugins. I don't run any dovecot related crons. The only crons that ran just before it happened were unrelated
rotate two unrelated logs 23 minutes before download and update some spamassassin rules 12 minutes before update Mailman archive search indices 9 minutes before
All these run daily.
The problem occurred after upgrading from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5. 2.1.4 had been running for weeks with no problem. The problem started with 2.1.5 when it had been running about 6 days and 20 hours. and continued until I restarted dovecot a day and a half later.
There was a power outage at the server last Friday night when Dovecot had been running only 4 days since the last restart, so at this point, Dovecot has been running continuously for 5 days and 6 hours, so the problem may or may not recur within the next few days.
My dovecot -n is at http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-September/042943.html, and some more detail from my maillog is at http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-September/042959.html.
