maildrop: Timeout quota exceeded

[msimerson]

After deploying a new vpopmail jail, local mail deliveries are stuck in the qmail local queue. Logs show the error deferral: maildrop:_Timeout_quota_exceeded./

To Reproduce

Install a new vpopmail jail. Deliver some local mail.

Expected behavior

Mail to get delivered.

Server (please complete the following information):

• OS: FreeBSD 13

I have worked around this issue by reverting to an older version of maildrop (<=3.1.0). Add the following to the distinfo file in the maildrop port and manually change the version in Makefile. Then make build deinstall install clean.

Also, pkg install libidn is sometimes necessary if the build fails when attempting to configure with idn.

Thanks for the tip, wasted hours on this one :-) Any chance this will be fixed in a future version? Has this been reported to a maintainer?

[msimerson]

I haven't reported it upstream yet.

I've tested today and determined that versions of maildrop <= 3.1.0 work fine. Every version >= 3.1.1 is broken. The breakage was introduced with commit 29fe3e7.
