I recently set up SiS and imported a large chunk of mail. I've noticed one or two instances of this in the logs: Mar 28 09:03:50 mail dovecot: imap(xxx at yyy.zz): Error: Attachment file /mailstore/attachments/ce/73/ce737a45fe07495e2ae6466f9e381a30d5ec300406f11269d79bd5608cc0c922-822b3d2df67f8e4d7f5000009501e12a larger than expected (252218) Mar 28 14:52:34 mail dovecot: pop3(zzz at xxx.yy): Error: Attachment file /mailstore/attachments/c5/e1/c5e13d671d1d796680ae7166363afcb819af3d9cd04e01de7d65031b2f732bdf-b2ecf918b910904d826200009501e12a larger than expected (143959) Could that be an indication of a hash collision?

If you have the original pre-dbox mail and you convert it to a new and empty dbox+sis and reading it gives this error message, I'd really like to get the original mail.> Could that be an indication of a hash collision?Highly unlikely. There have been other similar error reports, so I know there's a bug somewhere. I just don't really know where. I haven't managed to reproduce any SIS errors with any of my tests.
