Error: /proc/self/status is larger than expected
Hello,
Writing to get some insight as to how I might rid myself of a the pesky error message on the subject. Every binary throws out that error, every LMTP delivery... basically every time any dovecot binary is executed. I am unsure if this is configuration related or not, but intuition says it is an issue with a kernel feature or compiler issue.
I saw the error message in the source code (file ), but I don't understand enough of the dovecot architecture or what the code itself is doing in this case. Below and excerpt of a few lines of logs. Since I don't know what specifically this would relate to (and I don't quite remember the command to send the "safe" version of the configuration), I am sending this message in hopes that whatever is needed can be asked and I will provide it.

It might help to check how large /proc/self/status is on your system:
# cat /proc/self/status|wc --bytes
Here it shows 1381 bytes.

Hi,
At this point I have resorted to add the error message to be ignored by the syslog daemon to at least keep it out of sight. It really makes logs confusing. I'm paying attention of anyone has any suggestions to try.

Hi!
This requires a code change, which is currently in progress. It does require you to patch Dovecot yourself if you want to use it, once it's ready.

Writing to get some insight as to how I might rid myself of a the pesky error message on the subject. Every binary throws out that error, every LMTP delivery... basically every time any dovecot binary is executed. I am unsure if this is configuration related or not, but intuition says it is an issue with a kernel feature or compiler issue.
I saw the error message in the source code (file ), but I don't understand enough of the dovecot architecture or what the code itself is doing in this case. Below and excerpt of a few lines of logs. Since I don't know what specifically this would relate to (and I don't quite remember the command to send the "safe" version of the configuration), I am sending this message in hopes that whatever is needed can be asked and I will provide it.

Hi!
Which distro is this?

Hi!
This is now fixed in main, see

Hi!
This requires a code change, which is currently in progress. It does require you to patch Dovecot yourself if you want to use it, once it's ready.

Hi,
At this point I have resorted to add the error message to be ignored by the syslog daemon to at least keep it out of sight. It really makes logs confusing. I'm paying attention of anyone has any suggestions to try.
Thanks! -Sam

See attached for example content of /proc/self/status and the dovecot.conf through 'dovecot -n'
I am re-sending this message because there were a lot of DMARC reports due to my reject policy and the Dovecot list settings.

I have seen a similar issue with kernel 6.1.0 but not with 6.1.1 and did not investigate further. You might want to try different kernel versions.

Hello,
I don't know what the error means or how to get rid of it.
But in the replies, I do see something that might indicate a misunderstanding of how /proc works.
Every pid will be getting a different file than another pid when it accesses things in /proc/self. You can't apply anything you learn from accessing /proc/self/status in a shell prompt to dovecot, because dovecot gets a different file when it accesses /proc/self/status.
Open up two shells on the same system and then do this command in both:
ls -al /proc/self
You'll see that one shell has a different symlink target than the other.
Instead, find the pid for dovecot and look at /proc/NNNNN/status. This command might work:
ls -al /proc/pgrep dovecot/status
Thanks, Shawn
