Hi,

I'm running every week in cron "doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam before 30d" and monthly "doveadm quota recalc -A".

After the upgrade to dovecot 2.2.12 (from 2.1.17), "doveadm -A" sometimes exit with this error:

doveadm(user@domain.com): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users # echo $? 75

If I re-run the same command the user where doveadm stops changeing (always in alphabetical order):

info@ mario@ pippo@ zazza@

and finally, after 3 or 4 run, ends with success.

I have enable debug (via doveadm -D and auth/mail debub in 10-logging.con) but there are no errors or difference in the log when doveadm exit with the error (error code is 75).

If I run

# doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam savedbefore 30d

doveadm works fine

Can somebody help me?

Here is my configuration:
