From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.0.6-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: The attached spam, when inserted into the active queue spool area, causes qmgr to exit, leaving the system in a state where it will accept messages but nothing is delivered. A corrupt mail *should* get moved to the corrupt area and should not cause all delivery through the system to cease. Here is the log entry: Sep 26 09:04:37 mscan6 postfix/qmgr[18101]: fatal: bad extra offset file active /2/2DE3E114020 Sep 26 09:04:38 mscan6 postfix/master[18036]: warning: process /usr/libexec/post fix/qmgr pid 18101 exit status 1 The system tries to restart qmgr, but it exits as soon as it hits this message again, and nothing queued behind it is ever delivered. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-2.1.5-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Stop postfix 2.Place the queue file referenced by the above URL into /var/spool/postfix/active/2/2DE3E114020 3. Restart postfix Actual Results: Sep 26 09:04:37 mscan6 postfix/qmgr[18101]: fatal: bad extra offset file active /2/2DE3E114020 Sep 26 09:04:38 mscan6 postfix/master[18036]: warning: process /usr/libexec/post fix/qmgr pid 18101 exit status 1 Expected Results: I would have expected a corrupt message to be moved under /var/spool/postfix/corrupt so that remaining queued messages could be delivered. Additional info: It's a high priority problem when it happens, but it's only happened once in more than a year of running this system.

Can you please verify, if the problem also occurs with the FC-4 package? You'd have to recompile the source package for FC-3.
I will verify on FC4 as soon as I can, but I do not currently have any FC4 machines that run Postfix, so it may be a while before I have time to get to this.
(This is a mass update to bugs which have been in NEEDINFO unmodified for over a year and are for a currently unsupported version of Fedora Core.) Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
