Can anyone give me an idea of whether or not dovecot-lda can solve the following issue: We seem to have constantly-corrupting dovecot* files for people who fit one (or more) of the following categories:
- 1000+ message inboxes;
- multiple clients simultaneously checking mail;
- people receiving a lot of mail, and/or the server receiving and trying to deliver a single message to all users at once
This has the smell about it of bad locking. Are you absolutely certain that both postfix and dovecot are using the _same_ locking scheme? Indeed! Postfix was using flock, and dovecot was using fcntl.
Unfortunately, switching postfix to use fcntl has not resolved this issue... We're still seeing the temp files from hell.
Oh, and is the mail store local, or on NFS?
Local. We need the server to work before we start investigating NFS/etc.
Thanks,
