I'm quite sure it's not the size of the mailbox. I've got a few servers using

I'm using postfix (2.11 stable) + dbmail (3.1.13) + MariaDB (5.5.34) + amavis + 
spamassassin. I must say dbmail
3.1.13 is rock solid, as is postfix

dbmail-lmtpd is not, but it does not happen often enough
to debug it further nor that it becomes a large problem

at least if you have some monitoring with auto-restart
the interesting is that this started on 2014-03-30 and
dbmail 3.1.13 was updated 2014-03-13 on that machine

see logs below

maybe it has something to do with that ones, maybe not
there is a thread from me where it affected 4 messages
with today it has grown to 6 messages
EEEEEEOk. Found [6] missing envelope values.
EEEEEEOk. Found [6] un-cached physmessages.

Hi Harald,

I haven't got anything of this sort of problems. Since I installed DBMail 3.1.12, I haven't had a single phone call from the users about mail problems. And DBMail 3.1.13 seems to consume even less resources.

I restart the most heavily loaded mail server once a week. It gets around 30000 connections per day from the outside, Postfix filtering down that value to around 1000, which are legitimate messages (including around 10 spams per day, which are duly taken care of).

In short, the dbmail-lmtpd daemon isn't terribly busy. The reason the mail server is restarted at all, is that there has been a bit of memory consumption. It consumes about 6GB of RAM during the week. I haven't bothered to track down where the problem is. It seems that MariaDB gradually is allocating more and more memory, as is dbmail-imapd. With respect to the cost of RAM, the memory consumption hasn't got a very high priority at the moment.

I wish you a nice evening,

Peter
