Hi,
I am using CentOS 5.9 with postfix+dovecot v1.0.7
I have problem in downloading emails with attachment of more than 3MB via my email client. (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc) I can send emails out with more than 3MB without any problem, whereas i can't download emails.

Following is the error i found on maillog
dovecot: pop3-login: SSL_write() syscall failed: Bad file descriptor
dovecot: impa-login: SSL_write() syscall failed: Bad file descriptor

After this the email client stops downloading emails.

What could be the problem ? Please help me fix this . Thank You

sussane,
It could be your Postfix config. Look at the message_size_limit info on this page: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html


MSJ

Message size limit is set to 20MB ...
I suspect it could be dovecot or SSL issue ? plz help me isoloate the problem. Thx

sussane,
I see old (2006) errors similar to yours that are related to the dovecot login_process_size setting.

The errors you posted are usually generated by client connections.
- Can you set up this account on another device and see if you can download the large attachments?
- Have you tried testing it with the SSL requirement turned off?

Hi,
I've tested on multiple computers with different email clients, problem persist. Later i changed to imaps only.
Now the problem is fixed and main problem seems to be related to only pop3 and pop3s..
