[Dovecot] dovecot cloning mails?
Hi,
I have a strange issue here. I have a large message of a svn commit and the message is cloning itself more and more. I've deleted it several time completely but it doesn't go away.

How can I debug it?
Thanks,

Find the duplicated message files in maildir and check their hard link count.
If hard link count is more than one, it's most likely your IMAP client that's doing the duplication by COPYing the message. You can verify this with e.g. rawlog.
If hard link count is 1, then the message is probably being redelivered for some reason. Check the received headers to see if they're different.

Hello,
the problem was postfix. The message was always delivered by the local postfix.
Thanks for the hints.
