Hi Racke,

We have been experiencing the same issue since upgrade to 0.67.0 (yesterday
at 19:00 GMT+2 approx.). Imap server connections don't work properly
anymore.

In /var/log/syslog, the imap log entries stop after initial connection:
      Apr 18 06:45:02 server imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:X.X.X.X]

Before, log entries showed information regarding the login user:  Â… imapd:
LOGIN, user=Â…

When testing imapd via telnet:

$ telnet server 143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP
ready. Copyright 1998-2011 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for
distribution information.
01 LOGIN user password

After introducing the LOGIN command, there is no further output and seconds
later the connection is lost.

So it seems the issue is related to the login process. When using other
commands via telnet, the imapd server complains as expected:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP
ready. Copyright 1998-2011 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for
distribution information.
foo
foo NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

Curiously, after downgrading all courier packages to 0.66.3-4,  and imap,
imap-ssl to 4.9.3-4 the problem persists.


The upstream author offers two possible explanations for the stalled login:
