[Dovecot] "racing" error ???
Anybody know what this racing error means? I've got hundreds of them in my Dovecot log file. I tried to search the archives but couldn't find a search link. Nothing on Google search either.

FYI... this particular error was the result of not having a trailing / at the end of the default_mail_env when using maildir.

That shouldn't affect anything, especially because Dovecot just strips away the trailing '/' internally. Probably just restarting Dovecot helped.
The error means that Dovecot was trying to rename a maildir file, but the filename was changed before Dovecot had a chance to do the renaming. It tried 10 times to do this before giving up. Really shouldn't be happening unless there really is something that keeps changing the mail file's name very quickly..
