I have about 30 pop3 users at my dovecot server, and sometime there's mailboxes (/var/spool/mail/userid) are corrupt. Troubled mailbox contains unnecessary 2 lines on head of file. Example is follow...

3rd and following lines has no plobrem. Maybe, this first line is last line of previous mail. But I don't know why it was leaved. At such cases, when user tried to get his mail by pop3 client on remote host, and close connection by server immidiate.
-ERR Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file Connection closed by foreign host.
Every time I delete 2 lines from his mailbox to restore on server console when it corrupt. Has anyone such problem?
