No need, Eric and I spent some time tracking it yesterday and we spotted two leaks, one in the smtp process and one in the lookup process. I was able to reproduce the smtp leak on my workstation and I have fixed it yesterday evening. The lookup leak I haven't found a way to reproduce yet but I can observe it on a production server so I will track it today and fix unless eric beats me at it. > > One last advice: don't run a *devel* snapshot on a *critical server* > > unless you know how to fix or cope with eventual bugs.

We're unaware of a big bug in 5.3.3 otherwise we would have fixed it and published 5.3.4, we had no bug report, what bug were you experiencing ? If you guys run into issues on a stable version and you let us know, the issues are fixed in priority. We don't do that with devel versions, they are expected to have bugs since the goal is to test and track them. -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
