Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with a Cyrus box. The box is running Postfix as MTA.
Cyrus uses saslauthd to authenticate using pam, which in turn uses
pam_mysql.so to authenticate against a MySQL database.
This is now the second time that, after a few days uptime, I get things like
this:
Aug 22 20:32:49 hostname postfix/qmgr[pid]: 9728391B: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
size=5648, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
And then 1001 seconds later:
Aug 22 20:49:29 hostname postfix/pipe[pid]: 1234567A: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=cyrus, delay=1001, status=bounced (Command
time limit exceeded: "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver")
The messages is then bounced (not deferred) by Postfix, a real pain.
Postmaster gets the following explaination:
The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a
specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails,
contact your system administrator. < hostname.domainname #5.0.0 X-Postfix;
Command time limit exceeded: "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver">
>From the Postfix source code:
if (pipe_command_timeout) {
vstring_sprintf(why, "Command time limit exceeded: \"%s\"%s%s",
args.command,
log_len ? ". Command output: " : "", log_buf);
return (PIPE_STAT_BOUNCE);
}
The Cyrus logfile shows nothing but:
Aug 22 20:32:49 hostname master[pid]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/lmtpd
Aug 22 20:32:49 hostname lmtpunix[pid]: executed
What I do know about this problem is that (just like the previous time) a
restart of saslauthd and cyrus fixes everything (for the time being). Just
restarting Cyrus does not fix the issue.
Hints are more than welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Laurens van Alphen
