[Dovecot] Error indexing mbox file (LF error)

[Kevin Old]

Hello everyone,

I'm getting the error below for 2 different users on my system of 150+ users:

Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3-login: Login: cah [::ffff:172.16.3.107]
Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file
/var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected
Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file
/var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected
Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error
occured. Refer to server log for more information. [2005-09-12
09:32:49]

I've read in the archives that it's the blank line at the beginning of
the mbox file, and once deleted everything works fine.

The thing is, it keeps happening and I can't figure out why.  Email
clients that send mail to these accounts are the latest Outlook
Express.  As I said, I have 150+ users on the same system and they are
fine.

I'm not sure if protocol makes a difference, but we are using POP3 only.

Any ideas what I can do to fix/prevent/correct this either
programatically or with a patch of some sort?

Is this actively being worked on?

I'm running FC4 with dovecot-0.99.14-4.fc4.

Any help is appreciated!

Kevin
