ouch! mbox or maildir? Any core dumps available from the crash? Is the user running OpenBSD-current? Could he reproduce it with kern.nosuidcoredump=3 with /var/crash/pop3d directory. (See last example in sysctl(8))
I believe they are using mbox. I've asked if a core dump was created and if they are willing to run pop3d with nosuidcoredump=3 for a bit.
I'll update this issue when I find out more.
No core dump was generated and they are not in a position to try pop3d with nosuidcoredum=3 right now. Any thoughts based on the limited info?
This set of logs... Aug 16 21:19:03 box1 pop3d[8764]: Lost pop3 engine Aug 16 21:19:03 box1 pop3d[8764]: pop3d exiting Aug 16 21:19:03 box1 pop3d[22391]: pop3 engine exiting
is intriguing. While merging this commit d295784 (Pull request #3) I failed to change the log message to "generic child" instead of "pop3 engine" as we now waitpid with WAIT_ANY. Killing/signalling "pop3 engine" process wouldn't generate "Lost pop3 engine" log message as we event_loopexit() on IMSGEV_DONE(libevent calls the EV_READ handler first and then signal handler). Apparently, one of the maildrop processes crashed. I am focusing on maildrop.c, mbox.c and update this issue as soon as I find anything suspicious.
Could you please try with the latest changes to master. I have fixed some crashes that happen during session closing wrt imsgev, a missing bounds check and race condition in maildrop init.
So far so good, he hasn't seen a crash yet with your recent changes.
The problem seems to be fixed. He's been running the updated daemon for 2 days now under heavy load without a single crash. When your ready, if you tag a new release I can update the port. Thanks again!
Tagged as v1.0.1; Thanks for testing/confirmation.
I received a report from a user who runs pop3d with many users that pop3d is still exiting in certain cases.
