Topic

Updated cyrus-imapd packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The cyrus-imapd package contains a high-performance mail server with IMAP, POP3, NNTP and SIEVE support.

These updated cyrus-imapd packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

  • attempting to connect to the update server failed and resulted in the following error messages being logged to /var/log/maillog:

    connect(192.168.11.110) failed: Invalid argument couldn't connect to MUPDATE server [IP address]: no connection to server FATAL: error connecting with MUPDATE server

These updated packages correct this problem so that connecting to the update server now works as expected. (BZ#326511)

  • on systems with 64-bit architectures, cyrus-imapd experienced a segmentation fault when replication was enabled. (BZ#484377)

  • more detailed information has been added to the ctl_cyrusdb(8) man page, which explains how to perform operations common to Cyrus databases. (BZ#463230)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated cyrus-imapd packages, which resolve these issues and add this enhancement.
