[Dovecot] why does dovecot child die on these messages?
Hi Timo and other dovecot fans,
why, when I'm trying to read certain "Drafts" emails that I just created, or edited, do the dovecot children die (or so I think).
In mutt, the behaviour is that I "c =Drafts" then select the email and I get "connection closed to squeaky.rubberduck.com".
In Mail.app - she just loops, trying to read those headers again and again and again.. (and this truss is from this instance)
I find that emails before a certain date are OK - but if i edit them and then try and refetch them - the child dies yet again. So I removed all .imap.* and let dovecot redo it's stuff. No go.
Some followup information before the meat of the truss:

Curiously it's only mutt saved emails. If I pipe them back to be delivered by procmail, all is ok.

Sounds like Mutt not obeying Maildir specs, then...
Beware of the difference between accessing Maildirs directly and going through the IMAP protocol.

Thanks, I am accessing it all through imap://
I'm currently compiling a vanilla mutt to see if it exhibits the same problem.

Well that was unexpected! I've discovered that dovecot will not crash if it isn't wrapped in SSL. No matter which client I use.
This is looking like a Solaris problem :(

You've set mail_save_crlf = yes, and looks like sendfile() doesn't work for some reason and Dovecot doesn't try to fallback to write()..
Dovecot only checks for EINVAL error, I'll add EAFNOSUPPORT in the check too.
