Hi,
on this server is are only a few test users and the postmaster account. The Postmaster account has a very copmlex sievescript which uses regexp.As fas as i can tell all hanging lmtpd-processes are delivering mails to this account. I found the deferred message and could reproduce the effect with an delivery retry of this eMail. But i did't find the regex which caused the problem yet.
So how can I help to find this bug. I had i look at bugzilla, but found nothing
related.
thanks for the help so far

Quoting Robert Mueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
all my lmtpd-processes are growing in size and are consuming more and more CPU-time and increasing it's priority. As far as i can see, mail gets deliverd fine, but only from the small lmtpd-processes. The huge processes are not used for delivery, and new lmtp processes get started, but the old processes keep running.I've seen this before with specific users having a specific regexp in their sieve script, and then an email with very big header arriving that that regexp runs on. Check your MTA mail queue and see if there are deferred emails and if they're all for one user. Also have a look in /proc/$pid$/fd for a few of the lmtp processes, see if they're all trying to deliver to the same user.
