Are there any news on these crashes? Consider them confirmed using 2.2.1 on FreeBSD 6.2. Our 2.2.0 (and now 2.2.1) on FreeBSD 6.2 in 32-bit mode is doing nicely and is perfectly stable. A neighbour organization that is using the same version of dkim-milter on the same version of FreeBSD, but in 64-mode, has been complaining about crashes every couple of hours, so I added a second milter to our setup, this one on a 64-bit FreeBSD platform, and sure enough, it is crashing once or twice a day. The log doesn't reveal anything unusual. Now I have recompiled it with debugging options, and guess what, it doesn't want to crash - a watched kettle never boils. I was lucky to have captured a tcpdump on a milter session at the moment the normally compiled version crashed, so this may give a clue, although trying to simulate the situation I wasn't able to cause a crash. The last session before the crash had: - MTA passess information about a new connect to milter: an IP address, host name, both look normal and resolvable; - milter replies with a CONTINUE; - MTA sends ACK; - the smtp client apparently sits idling, keeping the connection open; - some 50 seconds later milter closes the TCP connection sending FIN; - MTA tries to pass a QUIT command to a milter, but it is already dead; Any ideas?
