A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=682 ====================================================================== Reported By: m2000 Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Issue ID: 682 Category: Authentication layer Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new target: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 14-Feb-08 21:45 CET Last Modified: 02-Mar-08 04:23 CET ====================================================================== Summary: IMAP/LMTP dies when LDAP disappears, even if it comes back a minute later. Description: This seems to be another repeat of bug http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=612, but reproduced in 2.2.7 and 2.2.9.
This seems to happen to us about 1 to 2 times a day (but sometimes doesn't happen for a week), wherein we get the following error: Feb 13 09:06:33 perch dbmail-imapd[12984]: Error:[auth] authldap.c,auth_ldap_bind(+130): ldap_bind_s failed: Can't contact LDAP server Around this time, no one is able to establish new connections to IMAP, and all LMTP deliveries cease. The only known fix is to stop the dbmail-lmtp and dbmail-imap services, and then restart them. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- m2000 - 28-Feb-08 20:15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We found out why the LDAP fails (an internal problem involving DHCP + duplicate IPs), but not why DBmail freaks out afterward and does not recover w/o a restart. At this point I have a perl script that reads the dbmai.err file, and if it sees the right string, restarts dbmail. However, this is not a good long-term solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paul - 28-Feb-08 22:11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is I can't reproduce this, but perhaps my test is not representative for your problem. Could you please provide level=5 logs and steps to reproduce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- m2000 - 28-Feb-08 22:15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll try to reproduce it this Saturday (maintenance window already scheduled) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- m2000 - 02-Mar-08 04:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I now should have some logs for you, however I need to audit them first and redact any proprietary/personal data from them first. I'll get them to you probably by Monday (Pacific/US time) Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 14-Feb-08 21:45 m2000 New Issue 28-Feb-08 20:15 m2000 Note Added: 0002490 28-Feb-08 22:11 paul Note Added: 0002491 28-Feb-08 22:15 m2000 Note Added: 0002492 02-Mar-08 04:23 m2000 Note Added: 0002493 ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ Dbmail-dev mailing list Dbmail-dev@dbmail.org http://twister.fastxs.net/mailman/listinfo/dbmail-dev
