[Dovecot] LMTP proxy too many DATA output timeout (perhaps)
Hi All, we are getting a lot of this message from dovecot director. They seem to be too many. Backend servers do not log anything and postfix logs a lot of these errors. It seems that dovecot strategy handgling data output timeout when proxying LMTP is or too aggressive or may have some other problem.
This error generate sometime a lot of dupicate deliveries, probably because meanwhile real server has finished delivering the mail, proxy drops the connection.
Another symptom, maybe related to duplicate uid patch, is that we are receiving blank email.
What may I look further?
Regards Luca

I guess you could try if simply increasing the timeout helps. You need to recompile though:
src/lmtp/commands.c line 36:
#define LMTP_PROXY_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MSECS (1000*30)

What patch do you still have? I think v2.0.2 fixed the duplicates?
Hi Timo, sorry for late answer, but I'm trying to look deeper at problem. Stracing both director and real lmtp server, I've noticed that both of them seem to be stuck waiting for input on socket fd. Director's lmtp seem to be waiting some input from real server, but mail message is not yet sent completely and there no real reason to wait for it.
I hope this help.

Can you also get a similar strace with strace -s 100000 parameter, i.e. so that it would show the full output? I'm mostly interested what reads and writes saw the ending "." line.
Anyway, counting the number of written bytes from director to backend, they equal to number of read bytes on the backend.
Also http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/1f784904111b might help, although probably for a different problem than what you have..
Timo, I can also confirm that when this happens (connection drop after timeout) the mail is partially delivered to user (sometime blank email, or partial content, i've see a 20mb mail delivered multiple time and resulting in different sizes).
