Hi,
I'm starting to see more and more duplicates in my cur directory. they seem to be a copy of an incoming mail (messages share the same date) but they appears in the client as a message without subject and without sender or body. Their filename starts with an underscore and the 4th letter is a %. The rest of the filename is random (but it also includes my hostname). Which program could create such a filename ? If it's in the cur directory, it can only be dovecot, right ?
Example of 2 probably related messages in the cur folder: 1785 Apr 20 09:18 msg.zMeU:2,d 0 Apr 20 09:18 _J9C%jVVzLB.{myhostname}:2,
In addition, it seems that since we have started to use thunderbird 3, indexes are often corrupt, mailboxes needs reconstruction and so on. Could it be an incompatibility with my version of dovecot ? I've disabled my thunderbird filters that were moving the incoming mail automatically, no difference. I use no antivirus (linux imap client mainly). I can (probably) upgrade to dovecot-1.2.11-3_108 but I'd like to be sure that I won't create more problems before doing it.
The homedirs are NFS mounted.
dovecot 1.1.7-0_84 squirrelmail 1.4.19 postfix 2.6.5-1
Here is my dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps listen: * login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: quota:
