Hi all

I recently found some cases were blacklisted email addresses (recorded in /var/lib/courier/track) were not cleared by the "courier clear ***@domain" command.
Permissions for the directory are:

linde:/var/lib/courier# ls -l
total 544
drwxr-x--- 2 daemon daemon 4096 Jul 5 00:05 allfilters
drwxr-x--- 2 daemon daemon 4096 Nov 29 2010 calendar

drwxrwx--- 5 daemon daemon 4096 Jul 5 22:08 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 2 daemon daemon 4096 Jul 5 23:29 track


I ran strace and here is the result:

mmap2(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7421000
set_thread_area({entry_number:-1, base_addr:0xb7421700, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 (entry_number:6)
mprotect(0xb75d5000, 8192, PROT_READ) = 0
mprotect(0xb75f7000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0
mprotect(0xb764c000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0
mprotect(0xb77be000, 24576, PROT_READ) = 0
mprotect(0x8051000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0
mprotect(0xb77fe000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0
munmap(0xb77c8000, 48644) = 0
brk(NULL) = 0x9816000
brk(0x983b000) = 0x983b000
chdir("/usr") = 0
setgid32(1) = 0
getuid32() = 0
setgroups32(1, [1]) = 0
setuid32(1) = 0
open("/var/lib/courier/track/416462", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 3
_llseek(3, 0, [173], SEEK_END) = 0
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=173, ...}) = 0
write(3, "1499264814 ***@domain.com"..., 33) = 33
close(3) = 0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0
write(1, "***@domain.com cleared.\n", 30) = 30
exit_group(0) = ?

I'm running Courier 0.73 (Debian upgrade failed).

Sorry, I'm not very good at reading traces. Any ideas what the reason might be?

Thanks for any help!

That's the expected result. An email address gets cleared by adding an A
record, so this looks ok.

Reviewing the code in question I only see a potential problem with "clear
all" not working correctly, but clearing an individual address should work.

I run into a similar issue recently and figured other files in that
directory were blocking the user, which `courier clear` didn't clear.
You might want to check those files as well.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can reproduce this, but in my case,
`courier clear ***@bluegap.ch` didn't help.
