 |
|
Hi,
My courier-imap somehow stopped accepting connections this morning. Clients get a "connection refused" error.
The old go to is restart the service, but that gives an error message I haven't seem before:
| Code: | grond ~ # /etc/init.d/courier-imapd restart
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting courier-imapd ...
/usr/lib64/courier-imap/couriertcpd: Invalid option: -noidentlookup [ !! ]
* ERROR: courier-imapd failed to start
|
Looked at the /var/mail/current log, but that does not give any clues either.
Any tips on how I messed up? Any logs I can provide? (courier does not seem to have their own logs for some reason)
(courier-imap 5.2.10)

| The output you provided says that an invalid option is being passed. What is setting that option? Did this option once work, and has since been removed from newer versions of courier-imapd? |

this took some looking around, but in the end I found the option that passes the option to couriertcpd:
In /etc/courier-imap/imapd:
| Code: |
TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup" |
Took out the option:
| Code: | TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup"
|
Did a restart, and now it works.
I must have missed the patch notes or something... |
