Can anyone give me an idea of whether or not dovecot-lda can solve the following issue: We seem to have constantly-corrupting dovecot* files for people who fit one (or more) of the following categories:
- 1000+ message inboxes;
- multiple clients simultaneously checking mail;
- people receiving a lot of mail, and/or the server receiving and trying to deliver a single message to all users at once
We're using straight postfix maildir delivery, and while the mail keeps coming, we start to see a lot of "temp.xxxx.xxxx.xxx" type lockfiles build up after any inconsistencies appear in the Inbox indexes, and clients start to report timeouts and/or crash as a result. Would switching to LDA by itself resolve this issue (on the argument that delivery would ALSO update the indexes every time), or is there some more fundamental issue we are having that is causing the inconsistency to arise?
On a related note: I noticed the darwinports version of 1.0beta7 does not include the code for dovecot-lda... Does anyone have experience setting this up?
Thanks!
