Okay. I'm hitting the annoyed state with this problem because it is feeling close to being solved, but not quite! The cwd of lmtpd process (and cyrus itself) is the root directory. I did a quick test of setting / to mode 777 (ya I know) and waited for an abnormal exit. Checked and still no core file. Nor can I get the debug_command option in lmtpd to work to see what is going on when it crashes.
I have, however, been able to track it down to crashing when I try to deliver to a non-existant mailbox. For example, 'deliver user.blahblahblah' causes it to crash in a BUSY state, same goes for 'deliver blah'. So I am closer, but still can't figure out exactly why it is crashing, or not core dumping for that matter. Short of recompiling lmtpd to not fork, is there something I am missing? Here is my debug_command:
/usr/bin/gdb /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/%s %d
Well, if you can crash it, don't worry about the core, and just get a backtrace in gdb.
