Hi,
we get errors about corrupted indexes and we are losing flags with mdbox on NFSv4:
Error: Recent flags state corrupted for mailbox Error: Corrupted dbox file Error: Corrupted transaction log file
It looks like a LMTP director problem. The user has IMAP IDLE connections open and lmtp delivers to another host. This leads to nfs corruption problems.
The user is logged into mail04 and has some IMAP IDLE mailbox connections open:
mail04:~# ps -ef|grep someuser vmail 5217 23918 0 Jun07 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap [someuser@example.de 10.129.3.190 IDLE] vmail 8623 23918 0 Jun07 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap [someuser@example.de 10.129.3.233 IDLE] vmail 20279 23918 0 00:37 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/imap [someuser@example.de 10.129.3.213 IDLE]
If postfix on mail01/dcmailbox01 receives an incoming mail now, the director on mail01 does NOT direct LMTP to the responsible host mail04/dcmailbox04 (10.129.3.190), but delivers it locally to mail01 (10.129.3.193), which leads to file corruption.
mail01:~# doveadm -c /etc/dovecot-director/dovecot-director.conf director status someuser@example.de Current: not assigned Hashed: 10.129.3.193 Initial config: 10.129.3.193
mail01:~# host 10.129.3.193 193.3.129.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dcmailbox01.example.net.
mail01 runs the lmtp proxy and lmtp delivery, even though the user is logged in via IMAP IDLE on mail04:

The "user logged on via IMAP on mail04" and "lmtp delivery on mail01" seems to lead to corruption of mdbox indexes:

How to enable the LMTP director to deliver to the correct mailbox host?
Configuration of mailbox and director of mail01 is attached.
