Just changed login_timeout=30

Normally, if you kill an existing connection (RST) this is detected by
the network layer and the connection is cleaned up. Sometimes however,
if dbmail doesn't receive the RST packet, the connection will have to
timeout. If you are using a monitoring app that doesn't send a RST to
terminate a TCP session, I wonder if the app is not the problem.

I've worked quite a bit on this last year, and the only way I could test
and reproduce this behaviour was by setting up firewall rules that would
drop RST packets.

I am running APF but I am not sure it will drop RST packets. Do you think Fail2ban is a better solution?

If you find out, please let me know! But I don't think so.

Today I noticed a new "pool segfault" with the following message. I have seen this problem affecting pop3d and imapd as well in different moments.

Dmail.err displays the following errors when the kernel pool crashes:

Try setting a lower login_timeout in dbmail.conf

Just did it to login_timeout = 30
