Please have a look at postfix-2.4.5-2.fc6 in FC-6-testing. Unfortunately, will be unable to test this as I don't have any FC6 machines any more, they have all been updated to F7 which doesn't have this issue in package postfix-2.4.3-2.fc7. Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I'm going ahead and closing this bug WONTFIX since F6 is EOL and F7 fixes the bug since it has the newer postfix package. |
Description of problem: Postfix 2.3.3 rejects instead of defers mail when mailbox_command dies with a signal. Previous versions of Postfix (like postfix-2.2.8-1.2 in FC5) correctly defer mail for later delivery instead of bouncing messages which causes email to be lost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-2.3.3-2 How reproducible: Easy to reproduce by configuring mailbox_command to run a command that dies with a signal (like signal 11 due to a bug in the program). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send the configured mailbox_command a signal. 2. Watch postfix bounce the email. Additional info: This bug is fixed upstream in postfix 2.3.5. From the 2.3.5 changelog: 20061207 Compatibility with Postfix < 2.3: undo the change to bounce instead of defer after pipe-to-command delivery fails with a signal. File: global/pipe_command.c.
