[Dovecot] BOGUS files

[Saurabh Barve]

Something is going on with your user permissions. Are you 
adding/deleting/modifying users [probably while they are logged in]? 
The system is not able to figure out the user permissions for the mail 
file, so it is creating those BOGUS files.

What are the permissions on the BOGUS and the user mail files? Are they 
"username:mail" or something different?
