With every incoming message I get the oft seen "error sending to idled" message in syslog facility local6. Cyrus is of course compiled to use idled. :)
My cyrus.conf contains:
--------snip-----------
START {
# do not delete this entry!
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"# this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE idled cmd="idled" } --------snip-----------
my /etc/imapd.conf contains: --------snip----------- idlesocket: /var/imap/socket/idle --------snip-----------
/var/imap/socket/ looks like: --------snip----------- # ls -al /var/imap/socket/ total 8 drwxr-s--- 2 smmsp cyrus 4096 Nov 18 15:42 . drwxrwsr-x 12 smmsp cyrus 4096 Nov 18 15:50 .. srwxrwxrwx 1 root cyrus 0 Jun 17 22:24 idle --------snip-----------
ps shows idled is in fact, not running. Sending the Cyrus master process a SIGHUP leaves this in my syslog -- no sign of idled starting/stopping/crashing:

Thoughts? I even tried to start idled by hand: --------snip----------- # su - cyrus -c '/usr/cyrus/bin/idled -C /etc/imapd.conf' bind: Address already in use --------snip-----------
That explains why it doesn't start. But I don't understand why I'm getting a bind error on the unix socket... ?
The only thing (that I see) idled should be binding to is the unix socket named in imapd.conf via 'idlesocket'. But a netstat shows that the unix socket /var/imap/socket/idled is not in use, and invoking fuser on the sockets in /var/imap/socket confirms the idled socket is not inuse. (I fuser'd the lmtp socket to make sure fuser does what I think it does. -- 7145 is the cyrus master at the moment. :)
--------snip-----------
# fuser lmtp
lmtp: 7145 7584
# fuser idle
#
--------snip-----------
Anyone care to swing the clue bat at me?
