Hello,
I have very strange issue. Sieve generate copies of users messages i.e.
not real copies but hardlinks for the same message. It happens to many
messages but not every message and not every time, it is not a single
user issue I have couple users with that issue.
It happens during auto reporting for spam/ham with sieve.
But I'm unable to reproduce it.
At some point the hardlinks copies become so many that the mailbox index
files become so bug that dovecot start throwing error:

I know that this is because the mail which is reported is too big for
curl but documentation say that
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
pipe :copy :try "rspamd-learn-spam.sh";
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
this should ignore the error.
I have tested also to change it like that:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
pipe :copy "rspamd-learn-spam.sh";
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
but the issue still persists
I can't confirm that the issue is that error because these errors are
way less than the messages with hardlink copies.
Also sometimes one mail have more than two hardlinks to it.

here is a example:
inode# hardlink_count filename

./Maildir/.Trash/cur/1714190559.M355157P25776.redacted.hostname,S=39259,W=40217:2,S

./Maildir/.Trash/cur/1714190568.M340582P26179.redacted.hostname,S=39259,W=40217:2,S
yes this is "23850" hardlinks to the same Inode
#######################################
The issue is somewhere in the sieve ham/spam reporting to rspamd but
cant figure out where and why.
Is this a bug or my configuration is wrong?
Here are all related configurations (feel free to ask for more if needed):
