Actually, I think we're having the same problem here...
But it only seems to affect our AMD64 machine. It started
with version 2.0.1 I beleive. If I do an
/etc/init.d/dbmail-imapd restart or stop
It not only kills dbmail-imapd, but sshd, and postfix and
a number of other processes.
Since it's our production mailserver, I haven't had time
to experiment with it much to figure out why it does that...

Like I said, it seems to be specific to AMD64 since it doesn't
happen on our PIII backup mailserver...

Hello,

  Interesting... never heard of that happening before, and offhand
I don't see how it would.  Did you check iptables rules, to make sure
nothing is blocked/changed there?  Look for any other syslog messages,
related to stuff other than dbmail, too.  Anything interesting in the
output of "dmesg"?  Can that machine make outgoing connections after
that happens?

I hope i can give more info:

I installed dbmail on a local system and on a dedicated server. Both machines

have same config (suse 9.0 etc.)
The complete server gives NO RESPONDS after killall dbmail-pop3d !
No responds via ssh (it shuts down after i send the kill signal!). No

Webserver responds (going down when killall dbmail-pop3d). But ping is okay !
But i must restart the server by hand.
The last in "warn" log is many lines of

"serverchild.c,active:child_sig_handler: git signal [15]"

I dont have more info. Hope its enough (?)



I habe installed DBMail 2.0.3
I have a problem shutdown dbmail-pop3. If i killall dbmail-pop3 the server

hangs and all connections halts. Only a reboot awakes the maschine.
 By "the server," you mean the entire machine, not just the pop3 server
process?  Is the console locked up or still working?  Does it answer pings?
If you still have console access, you can start checking stuff out there
(look at log files, "dmesg" output, try disabling all firewall rules and
make sure the policy is ACCEPT for input/output/forward chains).


I installed dbmail on suse 9.0

Have anybody a hint whats wrong ?

 Not really... doesn't make any sense w/o more info.
