Hello

Thanks for your help.

well I did but haven't found anything interrestiing in tcpdump log ...
and the problem did not happened this morning since I have
mail_debug=no in 10-logging.conf file then restart dovecot ...

BTW if it matter the users's home directories is a link than point
to the real directory.
