Re: [Dovecot] lock file strangeness

From: "McGraw, Robert P" rmcgraw@purdue.edu

We are running dovecot-1.2.10 on a Solaris 10 x86 host.

Starting on July 24 I started seeing the following type lock files I the /var/mail directory.

-rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138908.28535.hardy.purdue.edu

Hmm, are you sure these are dovecot locks? They look sort of like what alpine would produce. Do your clients have direct filesystem access to the INBOX spool?
