Hello I have accounts with Maildir (mail_location is empty/default) and postfix using lmtp for delivery. Some account create new file in Maildir/new after each deliver. However a couple account I see lmtp successful delivery but no new file anywhere in the Maildir:
lmtp(21379): Connect from local lmtp(me)<21379><Mbc+GgTmrofPHw4vAMIs8i>: msgid=<...trimmed...>: saved mail to INBOX 370A131BE: to=<me@example.com>, relay=email.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.3, delays=0.22/0.01/0.02/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <me@example.com> Mbc+GgTmrofPHw4vAMIs8i Saved) lmtp(21379): Disconnect from local: Logged out (state=READY)
/home/me/Maildir/new is empty and also try "find /home/me/Maildir -type f | wc -l" but no different before/after
Very interesting I can see trace of message in dovecot cache! "grep -r 'domain.from.message.id' /home/" (search all accounts) says:
grep: /home/me/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: binary file matches
So dovecot put traces of message into Maildir but no message file after successful "Saved" in logs.
What can I do?
Can you post doveconf -n? Also you can enable mail_debug=yes logs to see more details.
