I'm using alpha 5 and I'm getting "Corrupted index cache files" errors on one user's account. I found several posts in the mail archives on this subject and concluded from the responses that it's not a serious problem because Dovecot can deal with it. I deleted the index files and they were recreated but the error persists. The end user did not notice any problem but it makes me nervous. Is this something I should be concerned about? dovecot: Jan 12 10:22:06 Error: imap(username): Corrupted index cache file /export/home/username/mail/dovecot.index.cache: Duplicated field in header: hdr.CONTENT-TYPE dovecot: Jan 12 14:31:08 Error: imap(username): Corrupted index cache file /export/home/username/mail/.syslog_analyzer/dovecot.index.cache: Duplicated field in header: hdr.CONTENT-TYPE dovecot: Jan 12 14:43:56 Error: imap(username): Corrupted index cache file /export/home/username/mail/.gl3_ip_allocation/dovecot.index.cache: Duplicated field in header: hdr.CONTENT-TYPE By the way... is there a search function somewhere for searching the mailing list archives?

All file systems are local, nothing is NFS mounted. We are using maildir so locking should not be an issue as far as I know. OK, mmap is referring to locking of index files. All my mmap parameters are commented out so they are using defaults values. I also checked lock_method and it is indeed set to fcntl. I need to read up on the mmap parameters. -- Andy On 1/14/2006, "Timo Sirainen" <tss@iki.fi> wrote:>On Thu, 2006-01-12 at 15:04 -0700, Andy Cravens wrote: >> dovecot: Jan 12 10:22:06 Error: imap(username): Corrupted index cache >> file /export/home/username/mail/dovecot.index.cache: Duplicated field in >> header: hdr.CONTENT-TYPE > >/export?
