Hi All,

We're going to put into production dovecot-director. As I wrote in a previous message, we have a lot of errors like these:

Feb 28 08:50:42 server5 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Error: Index path/Maildir/dovecot.index: Lost log for seq=5 offset=228: Missing middle file seq=5 (between 5..4294967295, we have seqs 4): Log is locked transaction log path/Maildir/dovecot.index.log at sync_offset=10328

• newer log can't exist (initial_mapped=1, reason=Index mapped) Feb 28 08:50:42 server5 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Warning: fscking index file path/Maildir/dovecot.index Feb 28 08:50:42 server5 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Error: Failed to map

My doubt is if it's recommended to delete all dovecot.index* files before passing the traffic through de director servers or it's not required. Any information on this way will be appreciated.

We've dovecot-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64 over RHEL7

Thanks and best regards
