[Dovecot] maildirsize corruption

[Frank Doege]

Hi Timo,

it would be great if someone can overlook it it seems there are some bugs.

If anyone can do a patch, I would test it and make a report.

Is there anything like bugzilla where I can make a bugreport ?

Thanks,

Frank

Is this a real problem? From the code:

	/* We rely on O_APPEND working in here. That isn't NFS-safe, but it
	   isn't necessarily that bad because the file is recreated once in
	   a while, and sooner if corruption causes calculations to go
	   over quota. This is also how Maildir++ spec specifies it should be
	   done.. */

I guess I could make it recalculate the quota if it detects any errors in the file.
