Hi everyone.. I'm running Dbmail 1.2.2/Postfix/MySQL on a redhat 7.2 system.
Had a problem with a large attachment (360MB) where it inserted the message properly into the DB, that was all good, but when the client tried to download it, the POP3 or IMAP server would consume about 60-80% of the memory and totally bog the system down and finally crash the connection (but the server would remain in memory working). The crash apparently happened because the kernel (I'm assuming) was killing MySQLd processes due to lack of memory, and eventually it would shut down the connection for dbmail. Ming Wei had a issue with this a while back I know, but Aaron said that it would be fixed in 1.1, so maybe it hasn't been fixed? His issue seemed to be performance mostly. I was checking out MySQL during the issue, and although it used a bit more memory than usual as well as CPU, which would be expected, it wasn't a great amount, so I'm going to put most of the blame on the POP3 server. Anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how I could fix it, or is there a fix in progress for 2.0? I didn't see anything in the archive.. -Micah p.s. I know it's dumb to send a 300 megabyte attachment. That's another issue entirely that I was talking to my user about.
