Re: [Dovecot] Not getting new mail notification

The way maildir delivery works is:

create the file in tmp/ hardlink it to new/ unlink from tmp/

The last two steps could be done with a rename() which would fix the JFS problem, but since there's a tiny (practically non-existent with Dovecot) possibility of that overwriting a mail file in new/ dir, link()+unlink() is done.

Alright. Would using Dovecot's LDA (using procmail now) solve the problem a slightly different way? Or is the LDA just good for updating the index files?
