Re: [Dovecot] Initial status notification not received

19 Nov 2012


      Hello,
Has anybody some suggestions about the problem below?
I see in the archives
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/67077) that someone
also has (had?) this problem; a cronjob workaround was used, but no
dovecot solution was given.
Thanks,
Nicolas

Hello,
We have SLES-11 SP2 Xen VMs running dovecot as IMAP proxies. At VMs
startup, dovecot almost always shows these errors:
Nov 16 14:29:19 server dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.10 starting up (core dumps disabled)
Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(anvil): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process
Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(log): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process
Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(ssl-params): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process
Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(log): child 3591 killed with signal 9
As the last line tells, dovecot stops logging information. We have to
restart the dovecot processes to get back normal behaviour. I also tried
to set idle_kill values to services definitions, without success.
Is there a way to prevent these errors?
Here is the dovecot -n output:
