I am running dovecot 1.1.7 with postfix 2.6.5. Ihad a server down
issue and when it rebooted the IPFW firewalll on my FReebsd server
prevented mail from being delivered..at least thatis what I think
the issue was... when i stopped IPFW .. mail resumed anyway I use vmail structure..and there are message in the cur
directory.. how do i get them "reprocessed" or "released" I
presume this are incoming

Being in the cur directory, under a particular user, should be a completed delivery. Is the problem specific to one user, a certain group of users, or all users?

It may just be impression.. I knew people weren't getting email even
though The maillog seemed to indicate that POSTFIX was receiving and
putting in que i just assumed the "lost" messages were these messages

I guess I was wrong

thanks

Newly delivered messages go into /new. When the first client 'sees' them, they get moved to /cur...

for my education.. when are they removed from cur??
