Hello, I am having a problem with the lmtp delivery of mail addressed to multiple recipients. The first recipient receives the mail correctly but the next recipients do not. ltmp apparently tries to create a link from the subsequent recipients' mail store to the first recipient mail store and fails. This returns 451 smtp codes to the sender which then resends at some later time. Please see below for users jerry, steve, and mary. The message to jerry gets written but not steve or mary:
Are you using Postfix? What are the Postfix values of:
transport_destination_concurrency_limit transport_destination_recipient_limit

We are using sendmail on a couple of MX boxes that are communicating directly with dovecot/lmtp on port 24. Again from the logs in my first message the troubling entries are those that look like this:
Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Error: link(/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX/u.20423, /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX/.temp.1311791081.P12412Q2M989550.testmailserver.) failed: Permission denied Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900 at backup.>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2011-07-27 11:24:41]
lmtp seems to be attempting to write a link from one user's mail store to another user's mail store. This only happens on recipients that are not first on the recipient list.

PS - Apologies to the list if this mail produces an out of thread message as I posted the original message as a non-member (needing moderator approval) and I am now a member.
Hmm, I am wondering if this particular issue is involved:

Could anyone familiar with it please confirm or not?
Best regards, Boris
