IMAP cyrus problem

[Paul-Wilhelm Hermsen]

After an upgrading from Linux oenSuSE 11.1 to 11.2 procmail.log file schows
the entry

Program failure (65) of "usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver.

For example, in the end of the logging sequence it shows

Subject : whatever
Folder: /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver -a pwhrmsn -m user.pwhrmsn 2915

as if the mails are delivered correctly.

But there are no mails in the folders.
They're gone to Nirwana.

Is there anybody outside familiar with this problem ?

1) Have you tried to remove "From " header (not "From:") from message
passed to cyrus-deliver? AFAIR cyrus does not like it.

#v+
:0
|formail "-IXFrom " |/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver -a pwhrmsn -m user.pwhrmsn
#v-

2) Have you used w (wait for exit) flag in the procmail recipe?
It should give you an option to e.g.
* use maildir as fallback destination
* pass softfail (75) exit code to sendmail if your procmail is
executed by sendmail

Ah, now I know the reason for "65". Thank You !

Yes !
The following recipe is for years the first in my included user procmailrcs

:0hfw
|/usr/bin/formail -I "From"

This indeed causes the trouble with procmail.
I changed -I to -X, and now there is no program failure shown in
procmail.log. But the problem still keeps on existing. The mail seems to be
delivered correctly to the users mailboxes. However - there is no new mail
in the /var/spool/imap/user/*user* directory.

I didn't change any config files in this mail environment for years, so
I suppose a bug in cyrus-imapd 2.3.14-8.3 to be responsible for this.
