Hi amd64 friends! |

I have recently had some woes with my Cyrus daemon, and I have not been |
| 4 |
successful at troubleshooting it myself. I did a system update over the |
| 5 |
weekend, and ever since then Cyrus works for a bit and then dies with |
| 6 |
this in the logs: |
| 7 |

When this happens, none of my clients can connect to the server until I |
| 24 |
restart the service. Sometimes when I restart it, it will run for hours, |
| 25 |
sometimes only for minutes. I haven't been able to identify a specific |
| 26 |
activity that causes it to have this issue. |
| 27 |
|

The update did involve a rebuild of cyrus-imap-admin, I think due to a |
| 29 |
Perl update (or maybe it was an auto rebuild? I can't remember.) I can't |
| 30 |
think of why that would cause this, but it was the only obviously |
| 31 |
related package update. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I can't think of what steps I can take to look into this in a more |
| 34 |
informative way. Searching for these error messages reveals many people |
| 35 |
with many different kinds of problems (and posts dating back for a |
| 36 |
decade!) so it is difficult to narrow down what my problem is. I have |
| 37 |
tried to raise maxchild to large values (100) and to unlimited (-1) and |
| 38 |
that does not resolve the issue. |

Any ideas? Do any of you use Cyrus? Is your server still working? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I've considered migrating to Dovecot if I can't figure this out, so I'd |
| 43 |
recommend opinions on Cyrus vs. Dovecot as a side thread. |
