Hi, I have a strange problem with the uw-imap ipop3d daemon. Yesterday four users told me indepently that they've gotten duplicate mails. I asked them how many mails they've gotten doubled and when that strange behaviour started.
One of them answered that it started around 17:00. This is about the same time when I noticed the following log entries: Oct 25 08:48:41 zuse ipop3d[19125]: Message 4 UID 0 less than 4926 Oct 27 17:02:03 zuse ipop3d[27988]: Message 7 UID 32 less than 14107 Oct 27 17:02:08 zuse ipop3d[28012]: Message 124 UID 32 less than 146 Oct 27 17:02:22 zuse ipop3d[28255]: Message 196 UID 32 less than 3908 Oct 27 17:02:54 zuse ipop3d[28640]: Message 25 UID 32 less than 9984 Oct 27 17:02:54 zuse ipop3d[28578]: Message 425 UID 32 less than 2270 Oct 27 17:04:14 zuse ipop3d[28951]: Message 129 UID 32 less than 9912 Oct 27 17:04:26 zuse ipop3d[29009]: Message 427 UID 32 less than 427 Oct 27 17:06:03 zuse ipop3d[29343]: Message 2695 UID 32 less than 8961 Oct 27 17:06:12 zuse ipop3d[29401]: Message 660 UID 32 less than 3135 Oct 27 17:06:26 zuse ipop3d[29458]: Message 325 UID 32 less than 18611 Oct 27 17:06:49 zuse ipop3d[29485]: Message 523 UID 32 less than 43890 Oct 27 17:23:17 zuse ipop3d[31933]: Message 2084 UID 32 less than 2084 Oct 27 17:23:52 zuse ipop3d[32119]: Message 5 UID 32 less than 4110 Oct 27 17:33:07 zuse ipop3d[898]: Message 4 UID 32 less than 7412 Oct 27 18:05:50 zuse ipop3d[5562]: Message 2 UID 32 less than 5630 Oct 27 18:06:35 zuse ipop3d[5750]: Message 2 UID 32 less than 9098 Oct 27 20:20:38 zuse ipop3d[21608]: Message 12 UID 32 less than 12667 Oct 27 20:26:41 zuse ipop3d[22461]: Message 1586 UID 32 less than 28339 Oct 28 06:39:04 zuse ipop3d[14223]: Message 323 UID 32 less than 29023 Oct 28 06:55:35 zuse ipop3d[15684]: Message 2 UID 32 less than 3362 Oct 28 07:37:09 zuse ipop3d[19740]: Message 3 UID 32 less than 2813 Oct 28 07:42:09 zuse ipop3d[20356]: Message 4 UID 32 less than 3526 Oct 28 07:47:56 zuse ipop3d[21078]: Message 3 UID 32 less than 6210 Oct 28 07:57:20 zuse ipop3d[22515]: Message 331 UID 32 less than 331 Oct 28 09:24:04 zuse ipop3d[3396]: Message 186 UID 32 less than 187 Oct 28 09:30:48 zuse ipop3d[4640]: Message 20 UID 32 less than 5723 Oct 28 09:37:48 zuse ipop3d[5901]: Message 12 UID 32 less than 9318 Oct 28 10:03:01 zuse ipop3d[11465]: Message 2 UID 32 less than 17721 Oct 28 10:29:19 zuse ipop3d[16774]: Message 3 UID 32 less than 13953 Oct 28 10:30:47 zuse ipop3d[17217]: Message 2 UID 32 less than 8010 You can see that they appear cumulatively around 17:00. And there were never that much of this kind before. The FAQ from uw-imap calls these log messages harmless ( http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/index.html#7.14 ) but I am not sure if this can still be called harmless. My question is what circumstances can bring ipopd to suddenly behave this way? Could it be users popping their mailbox too often? File system corruption? Has anybody else experienced such a behaviour? My system is Debian woody, ipopd-ssl version 2001adebian-6.
