Re: [Dovecot] writing an MDA, help me avoid corrupted indexes

Have you checked out Dovecot's own LDA?

No, but I just did, and it looks like exactly what I need... except that it doesn't support passwd-file auth. Or am I missing that?

The website documentation on this matter is noticeably outdated.

Do you, by chance, have your mail partition mounted 'noatime'?

No, but I think that my indexing problem is that my self-made LDA/MDA is not following maildir spec in file naming and construction. I'd prefer to use deliver if I could.

As a further note, have you checked out the patches that allow Postfix to use the Dovecot auth daemon, so you can have SMTP AUTH without resorting to the horror that is Cyrus SASL?

I'll look into this when it's time to get ASMTP going.

Thanks,

Lee.
