I am having suspicion that zlib plugin isn't always involved in your config, which causes the compressed file to be cached wrongly.

The 8192 is very odd number to have there, which either indicates that the zlib plugin is not consistently used, or you have some issues with the gz library itself.

Aki Not sure if I understand this - shouldn't dovecot always note the decompressed size in cache and filename regardless if it's compressed or not?

I just removed the zlib plugin from lmtp to reduce the footprint of the problem. The problem itself showed up first while lmtp zlib was on.

Tim It is complaining about the **physical** size though, that is, the amount stored on disk. If you have a dovecot process which is unaware of compression, it can record the wrong size for the file.

Aki OK, I see. Another thing I noticed: The uidlist entry for a suspicious number of these problematic files contains what looks like a GUID:

G1674674677.M641373P33277.node2

If I remove the uidlist and let dovecot recreate it, it is usually gone. Might that be an indicator of some other process writing to the uidlist file? the GUID is not mentioned in the dovecot docs as far as I can see.

Tim It sure sounds like that.

Aki

OK, for future reference: I think I found the issue.
