[dovecot] Corrupt mbox handling

[Kristian Hoffmann]

I've found that if an mbox file has two consecutive 'From' delimiters, I
get the error:

pop3(user): Error indexing mbox file /var/spool/mail/user: LF not found
where expected

UofW apparently ignores the second 'From' silently.  I've been trying to
run dovecot in gdb to get more details on exactly what is happening, but
I haven't quite mastered the art of attaching to the pop3 process between
the login process completing and it exiting.  Is there some trick to doing
that?

If I can't work around it in dovecot, I can just write something in perl
to fix all the duplicate 'From' lines.

Thanks,
