Greetings
We have recently switched from mbox to Maildir so that we can implement symlinks for a large email account that is shared (partially) between some 20 or so users.
The setup is dovecot-1.0.3-6.fc6, procmail-3.22-17.1, sendmail-8.13.8-2.
Procmail has a single recipe in /etc/procmailrc that simply says "DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/".
The problem is that I am seeing a lot of blank emails being created.
For exaample, every time I open a folder from this shared account, I get either one or two emails being created on the spot. The are /always/ created with the current date and time stamp (i.e. now) and at the same time a tail -f of maillog shows something like this:
May 19 09:10:05 sydsrv56 dovecot: IMAP(plans): Fixed a duplicate: dovecot-shared:2, -> 1211152205.P10039Q1.sydsrv56
The only thing that appears to change is the last modified date and time of the two files, dovecot.index.log and dovecot.index.cache.
Should I be maintaining separate index files or lock files for each user in this shared account? Currently the Maildir is shared and has the g+s bit set.
Any ideas where I can start looking would be appreciated.
Rgds
Nigel.
