I have a question regarding mailbox locking and hope any one can help me to better understanding the locking of mbox
My Postfix lock option is fcntl dotlock mailbox_delivery_lock = fcntl, dotlock virtual_mailbox_lock = fcntl, dotlock
My Dovecot lock option is fcntl only mbox_write_locks = fcntl mbox_read_locks = fcntl <snip>
Postfix is delivering the mail to dovecot. This is done via the deliver program or lmtp which are pipes, not files. Thus, why is Postfix attempting to write files in the user's mail directory?
You write new mail to the mailbox file with either Dovecot or Postfix, not both. Fix that problem and the locking problem disappears.
