Hi,

I'm onboard Debian Lenny (amd64) and just reverted from 2.0.2-0~auto+4 back to 2.0.1-0~auto+1 because LMTP stopped working completly with the above Package.

In my setup delivery is done from exim via LMTP to dovecot (Maildir/ext3). The lmtp dovecot config looks like this:

service lmtp { user = vmail inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24 }

unix_listener lmtp { } }

protocol lmtp { hostname = [...].de mail_plugins = sieve quota listescape postmaster_address = postmaster@[...].de }

LMTP timeout after initial connection When I do "/etc/init.d/dovecot stop" some process remain alive and I

With the new version I get no LMTP log message at all from dovecot and Exim fails with: ultimately have to SIGKILL the lmtp process to get rid of it.

The older version works without any problems for me.

Any ideas whats the Problem? Could there be a regression from the LMTP fixes introduced in 2.0.2?
