Hello,

consider the following setup with dovecot 2.2.35:

smtp/587 (subject: test 1535) | | mx2a.example.com --> dsync/ssh --> mx2b.example.com | pop3 fetch/expunge (uid 23) | !! dsync (copy from INBOX -> uid 24) /| dsync (expunge uid 23) /

The pop3 client deletes mail from the server which triggers a copy from INBOX before it is expunged. On the next pop3 fetch you get the copy of the mail you thought had been expunged.

This occurs only if mail is received by smtp on mx2a, synced to mx2b via dsync/ssh and then expunged via pop3 on mx2b. It does not occur if mail is received and expunged on mx2b.

As a temporary workaround the system has been downgraded to 2.2.33.2. There are no duplicate emails after expunge with this version. 2.2.34 has not been tested.

Does anyone know if there were changes in the dsync code from 2.2.33.2 to 2.2.35?
