v. 2.3.8 . Unified Murder.
It is clear from the information below that a receiving server initiated
xfer command will fail (LOCALCREATE FAILED on a child of the inbox
[LOCALCREATE of the inbox apparently succeeds]) and the location of the
mailbox will become out of sync.
Subsequent commands against the mailbox from the sending server will be
proxied to the receiver (even though the transfer is logged as a
failure). The receiver then tries (correctly) to proxy the connection to
the server (sender) that should still have the mailbox. This endless
loop of proxying causes rapid process spawning which leads to eventual
failure to allocate system resources.
I am looking for a site to confirm this behavior. I am looking through
the relevant code sections now, but I am personally unfamiliar with
cyrus-imapd source. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
Shawn

After a receiving server initiated xfer attempt, info command on the
mailbox fails. info command initiates rapid imapd process spawning by
master and rapid spawning of imapd processes on the receiver to handle
remote info command.
The sender (who also issues the info command) has thousands of logged
transcripts that say only one line (no response from other server):
<1172690203<PROXY0 GETANNOTATION "user/zweng" ("*") ("value.shared")
The receiver has thousands of logged transcripts that say only:
