Hi,
I have set up a new mailserver with qmail/vpopmail, which works fine. Next I
set up Binc and KMail without authentication and tested everything out on a
small ~/Maildir, with about 50 messages in it. It also worked fine, so I
copied across a fairly big (92 MByte tar'ed) ~/Maildir from an old server,
set uid and gid to vpopmail and vchkpw, respectively, and tried again. At
first it seemed to work, as KMail started to go through the folder structure.
It only got through the top level (7 folders), though, before it hung.
It is certainly not a resource problem, as the server is a 1.8 GHz, 512 MB 40
GB machine. The client machine is also quite fast. Both the server and the
client machines are running Mandrake 9.1, the client with KDE 3.1.0.
On the old server, which did not have vpopmail, KMail also somethimes got
stuck when displaying deep folders. The workaround was to create a dummy
folder, which I then deleted imediately. Strange, but that was the only way
to break the deadlock. So I am starting to wonder if there is something wrong
with the contents of the old Maildir. Is there a way/tool to carry out some
sort of sanity check on it?
I noticed that Binc spawns a lot of imap processes when it is accessed by
KMail. However, they die again after a short time (10 - 20 s). It's probably
normal? Nothing is written to the logs by binc, however;
/var/opt/log/bincimap is completely empty! So, it seems that it is Binc that
don't want to play, but I cannot find what's causing it. I have tried
svc -d /service/imap svc -u /service/imap
rebooting, etc., but to no avail. I enclose my run scripts, in the hope that
somebody spots a mistake.
Here is the contents of: /etc/opt/bincimap/service/imap/run (GNU lisence stuff deleted to same space)
#!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 exec tcpserver -c 100 -u 89 -g 89 \ -l $(hostname) -HDRP \ 0 143 \ /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimap-up \ --logtype=multilog \ --conf=/etc/opt/bincimap/bincimap.conf -- \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimapd
Contents of: /etc/opt/bincimap/service/imap/log/run
#!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 exec multilog t n5 s1048576 /var/opt/log/bincimap
The following to scripts are probably not relevant, as I am not using authentication for the time beeing, but here they are anyway.
Contents of: /etc/opt/bincimap/service/imaps/run #!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 exec tcpserver -c 100 -u 89 -g 89 \ -l $(hostname) -HDRP \ 0 993 \ /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimap-up \ --logtype=multilog \ --conf=/etc/opt/bincimap/bincimap.conf --ssl -- \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimapd
Contents of: /etc/opt/bincimap/service/imaps/log/run #!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 exec multilog t n5 s1048576 /var/opt/log/bincimap-ssl
