If you are using fetchmail to authenticate against a self-signed certificate with UW imap, check /var/log/messages for imapd PAM errors.

grep PAM /var/log/messages

I just hit upon another bug... my grep is not case sensitive, so "PAM" matches "spamd" :-(

But I don't think I have that problem. I see the self signed certificate error, but on a pop3 account, not imap:

Jan 15 01:56:13 nimrodel fetchmail[5698]: POP3> STLS

Jan 15 01:56:13 nimrodel fetchmail[5698]: POP3< TOP
Jan 15 01:56:13 nimrodel fetchmail[5698]: POP3< UIDL
...

And this a mailbox I seldom check.

Another bug: "less" is very slow when told to search for "self signed certificate". Weird. Very weird.


should answer your question. I have a bug open. If you are experiencing the imapd PAM errors you will be up 1-2 days and then the kernel will begin to die. This happens slowly and the mail response gets slower, and slower.

Also check for stale mailbox locks in the users Mail dirs.

What I have is a lazy kernel: it is prone to go to sleep if I'm not typing at the keyboard. Everything stops, the clock, gkrelmn, daemons... I have to keep my router pinging my machine to keep it fully awake (the network packets generate an interrupt, so the kernel awakes):

I also have problems with the clock:

which also caused problems with spamd childs becoming unkillable zombies:

It is not a happy kernel for me, this one of 10.3. I have bugzillas all over the place!

Carlos,

Take a look at these two other very related bugs. They may help. I have been fighting the self-signed certificate battle with imap and spamassassin for several days now. It has some very scary consequences. See:

spamassassin sa-learn causing kernel errors

        https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=353252

ipop3d (imap package) produces PAM error on checking email
