 |
|
I have had in the past a perfectly working email system setup based on various guides around here. It uses postfix and courier-imapd-ssl. After a recent emerge update of world (which I'm half-way through thanks to unrelated issue), when I connect to my imap server with a client (Thunderbird), it all seems to be fine, but if I just leave the client there with a folder open, eventually it will just start hanging and not let me read mail or get the headers of new mail etc. I have to restart the client.
In my /var/log/messages I see it overflowing with hundreds of:
| Code: | Nov 22 14:19:21 64x2 imapd-ssl: LOGIN, user=xxx@xxx, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.72], protocol=IMAP
Nov 22 14:19:50 64x2 imapd-ssl: DISCONNECTED, user=xxx@xxx, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.72], headers=0, body=0, time=90, starttls=1 |
Ie. constant LOGINs and DISCONNECTs. What would cause that? How do I diagnose further?
As far as I could tell I didn't update anything mail related in that world update, though something to do with my certs was altered and I had to run some obscure cert-related database update command before I could LOGIN successfully at all. In fact I ran two different commands along those lines, the second of which was given as an instruction following the update of whatever cert-related thing I have. One of the certs I was using vanished in the update, so I changed to what I hope is the nearest thing:
| Code: |
cacert.crt.old_broken -> ../../../usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org/cacert.org.crt
cacert.crt -> /usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org/class3.crt

| I haven't used courier-imap in a while, but isn't cacert.crt one of the ones that you create during the initial postfix setup? |

No, that's not the case. I found the cacert.crt instructions in an ssl guide somewhere.
Still no joy, and it's driving me nuts. I can no longer send mail and have a copy saved to my sent folder, since by the time I finish writing the mail Thunderbird has lost connection to the server and just hourglasses  |
