Comment here only regarding the mailctl-bin AUR package.

I am using the mailctl-bin package. :) This error message happens on a server running Arch Linux.

After having an expired token, I decided to upgrade mailctl-bin and rerun the authorization process. The authentication in the browser is successful, followed by a 'Something went wrong' in the browser and an error message in the console, see below.

Any hints how to resolve this?

[user@monitor ~]$ mailctl authorize microsoft domain-support

@ptdel, Thank you although I have not received anything.

Anyway, I have just pushed out a new AUR release.

I sent two (sorry) patch emails to what I am guessing is your preferred email address that update the PKGBUILD to point to sourcehut, feel free to apply or tell me to stop emailing you :D

Yes, the canonical repository of mailctl was moved to sourcehut. However, pre-compiled binary is provided there.

I am in the process of adapting PKGBUILD to the new situation, and will release a new AUR bin package asap. Meanwhile the most recent compiled mailctl binary can be downloaded from the link below:

https://git.sr.ht/~petrus/mailctl/refs/download/0.8.3/mailctl-0.8.3.tgz

it looks like the upstream maintainer has moved their code from github to sourcehut. the github links to the binary return a 404. patch sent in email to maintainer.

Finally, I have made progress.

I noticed that the behavior became a bit irregular which made me suspect memory corruption. This triggered me to suspect the Xen Hypervisor being used on this server.

I have installed the Xen hypervisor on my laptop and ran the same mailctl commands in the Dom0 (= privileged Xen VM guest), resulting in the same core dump.

What a pain! :)

I will investigate this further and keep you posted.

In fact, almost all actions crash except --help and --version I have tried a different linux user, which gives the same result. I have tried a new config.yaml and services.yaml, which gives the same result. It seems to crash fairly early in the process, but after --version and --help.

I bet it has something to do with the environment of this server, but I can't pin it down yet. Any suggestion is welcome.
