Hi,
I am experiencing a strange bug with squirrelmail. The symptoms are as
follows:
Sometimes when a user sends an email the from address changes to another
user's email address who is logged in at the same time.
e.g. user A has email address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user B has email address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
User A is composing an email. When he hits send, the from address gets
set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Another symptom is that user B generates a failed IMAP login, suggesting
that user A is trying to login with user B's username. I am not
suggesting that this is a deliberate hijacking attempt by the user but
some bug in squirrelmail/php. Here is the IMAP error message:
in.imapproxyd[519]: [ID 354002 local7.notice] Get_Server_conn(): Unable
to reuse server sd [249] for user '"pashipp"' (192.168.222.101:4774
5) because password doesn't match.
We are using a an architecture with multiple front ends. Details are as
follows:
3 x Redhat EL 4 webmail front ends. (PHP 4.3.9, Squirrelmail 1.4.5)
1 x Solaris 8 Backend running:
- Cyrus
- Postgres 8.0.3 (for address book, userprefs, etc)
- NFS
The 3 webmail front ends are load balanced behind an Alteon load
balancer with IP persistency. Sessions are stored on the NFS mount.
This bug is extremely hard to track down or reproduce. Has anyone else
observed similar behaviour?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
thanks, Iain.
