Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
An update.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I just updated.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Even after restarting courier-imap & courier-authdaemon I can't connect anymore
to courier-imap.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Being able to conect and send/receive emails after update, as it always worked
out of the box.

Please check your logfiles for messages (mail.log, messages). Are the daemons
running (ps aux | grep courier)?

Please test your IMAP server through telnet, e.g. as described here:
http://documents.made-it.com/imapcmd.html
Maybe you have the following problem:
* OK [ALERT] Filesystem notification initialization error -- contact your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library)
c OK LOGIN Ok.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi Racke,
We have been experiencing the same issue since upgrade to 0.67.0 (yesterday
at 19:00 GMT+2 approx.). Imap server connections don't work properly
anymore.
In /var/log/syslog, the imap log entries stop after initial connection:
Apr 18 06:45:02 server imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:X.X.X.X]
Before, log entries showed information regarding the login user: … imapd:
LOGIN, user=…
When testing imapd via telnet:
$ telnet server 143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP
ready. Copyright 1998-2011 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for
distribution information.
01 LOGIN user password
After introducing the LOGIN command, there is no further output and seconds
later the connection is lost.
So it seems the issue is related to the login process. When using other
commands via telnet, the imapd server complains as expected:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP
ready. Copyright 1998-2011 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for
distribution information.
foo
foo NO Error in IMAP command received by server.
Curiously, after downgrading all courier packages to 0.66.3-4, and imap,
imap-ssl to 4.9.3-4 the problem persists.
Regards,
Alberto.

Message #35 received at 669146@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Here an FYI of a problem I had recently. I doubt this is the same issue,
but I'll write it up anyway for posterity.
I had a similar issue about a week ago when I updated some courier
related packages.
The issue turned out to be some kind of problem with gamin. I switched
from using gamin to fam and the problem went away. Gamin and fam are
used in relation to the Enhanced IDLE functionality in Courier IMAP.
Ironically, I was using gamin because I had issues with fam a couple of
years ago, switched, and had been happy since then. Maybe in a few years
I'll switch back to gamin the next time fam gives me trouble.
The only indication of a problem was that occasionally, in my mail.err
file, I would see something like;
Apr 8 09:03:41 myhostname imapd-ssl: FAMPending: timeout
Otherwise, there was almost no indication of a problem.
If you have gamin installed, look for a process running as your user,
try killing it, and see if things magically start to work again. If so,
that could be your problem.

Yes, that could be an explanation for the problem.

Confirmed. After installing fam, the problem is solved:
# apt-get install fam libfam0
So it was probably related to the recent upgrade of libgamin0 0.1.10-4.
Thanks again,
Alberto.
PS: To those applying this workaround. Do not install only libfam0,
otherwise you will experience the problem Racke mentioned before:
* OK [ALERT] Filesystem notification initialization error -- contact
your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the
FAM/Gamin library)
libfam0 requires fam daemon to do the real file monitoring work.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem with libgamin0 (0.1.10-4).
I'm running wheezy/testing on my machine.

I have a cloned testing environment where I can still reproduce
it. Anything I can do?
Regards.
PS: A bit off-topic, but upgrading again courier in the testing env
reminded me of a minor inconvenience when configuring courier-mta in the
0.66.3-4 to 0.67.0-1 upgrade process. When choosing to keep the existing
customized version of the /etc/courier/smtpaccess/default configuration
file, the packaged configuration file is created as default.dpkg-dist, as
expected. However, the courier-mta.postinst runs makesmtpaccess, which
complains because of a duplicate record in default and default.dpkg-dist
with the message "Cannot store record for 127.0.0.1 - duplicate or out of
disk space.".

Message #60 received at 669146@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
FYI, when I had my problem, it is notable that neither gamin, nor
courier-imap packages were upgraded, though the problem was seen
immediately after the upgrade. Gamin was definitely the problem, but
something else seems to be involved. It was a very troublesome bug to
figure out and the source cause wasn't obvious, which is why I went with
fam instead of trying to downgrade packages.
If you want a full log of my upgrade, let me know and I can provide
that. This happened back on the 8th of March.

Further confirmed that installing fam and libfam0 solves the problem:
apt-get install fam libfam0
I have previously also experienced the "check for configuration errors with
the FAM/Gamin library" bug which does not seem to have reoccurred after
installing fam.

The upstream author offers two possible explanations for the stalled login:

Hi all,
I can reproduce the problem and tried looking with strace into it.
The relevant lines of the trace seem to be these:
[pid 18269] socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 5
[pid 18269] connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/tmp/fam-luckas-"},
110) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
[pid 18269] --- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
Looks like gam_server is not accepting the connection and courier not
handling that issue well.
At leat for the courier part, this information might help the developer
to fix the issue.
Why gam_server stops accepting connections is another issue to be
researched seperately.
Thanks to http://www.noah.org/wiki/Courier_IMAP_and_FAM I also did a
"netstat -np|grep /tmp/fam-" which showed quite a few connections in the
CONNECTING state. But I guess this is expected given the above strace :-)
Hope this helps resolving the issue.
Regrds,
Uli
