BTW. http://dovecot.org/tools/maildir-size-fix.pl has been updated to work with compressed files also, making maildir-size-check.sh obsolete.
I had a quick look myself - it looks like it would be! Obviously I can't leave my production system in a state where mail can't be accessed by some of its users - so what would your advice be to work around this?
I think my options are:-
- Modify and recompile dovecot so that the affected sub is a no-op and guarantee that filenames will always reflect the uncompressed size of the message through other means OR
- Ensure that the sub never gets called. What condition is it that Dovecot encounters that triggers it to rename a file?
Just run the maildir-size-fix.pl to your existing maildirs and you should have no problems in future?
