4.3.0 lmtpd: Virtual memory exhausted - problem :(

Tue Jul 1 04:08:14 EDT 2003

I am using Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12 (Suse Linux package, no source install allowed 
here), and we see some errors from lmtpd saying "Virtual memory exhausted".

ulimits are unlimited for every resource (no limit), and there are 4 
Gigabytes of swap used by 5% and 2 Gigabytes of RAM.
System is GNU/Linux 2.4.20-64GB.

Our postfix mailer tries to deliver a message to a local lmtpd (Cyrus 
system) and here is the result:

Jun 30 07:38:43 rauch postfix/lmtp[3129]: EC7FD4400088: 
to=<pop03971 at rauch.rz.uni-konstanz.de>, 
orig_to=<Joerg.Dieter.Friedrich at uni-konstanz.de>, 
relay=/mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp[/mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp], delay=142730, 
status=deferred (host /mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp[/mail/cyrus/socket/lmtp] 
said: 421 4.3.0 lmtpd: Virtual memory exhausted (in reply to end of DATA 
command))

Has anybody seen this already? Which memory lmtpd claims to be exhausted?
With no process limits at all?
