hello,
i am using dovecot 1.0.rc15-1~bpo1 (from backports.org) on an debian
sarge machine as lda imapd and pop3d with postfix 2.1.5-9.
sometimes docvecot lda cannot write an mail to an existing mbox-file and
the logfiles fills up with:
deliver(user1 at domain.tld): "2007-04-22 23:17:32
"Error: Cached message offset 6937844 is invalid for mbox file
/home/vmail/domain.tld/user1
deliver(user1 at domain.tld): "2007-04-22 23:17:32
"Error: Cached message offset 6937844 is invalid for mbox file
/home/vmail/domain.tld/user1
deliver(user1 at domain.tld): "2007-04-22 23:17:32
"Error: Cached message offset 6937844 is invalid for mbox file
/home/vmail/domain.tld/user1
deliver(user1 at domain.tld): "2007-04-22 23:17:32
"Error: Cached message offset 6937844 is invalid for mbox file
/home/vmail/domain.tld/user1
40 lines from this per second and will never stop!
i need to stop postfix and dovecot, kill -9 the deliver-process, fix the
mbox (unlock it with mutt) and start dovecot and postfix again. then the
mail will be deliverd without errors.
some minutes to hours later i got the same problem with a random user
and domain.
my configs:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
:
virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/virtual_domains
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_boxes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_user
virtual_minimum_uid = 100
virtual_uid_maps = static:1005
virtual_gid_maps = static:1005
virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
:
/etc/postfix/master.cf:
:
# dovecot lda
# =============================================================================#
service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc
# command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
#
=============================================================================dovecot
unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}
the dovecot.conf is attached, the mailuser-file looks like:
user1 at domain.tld:password:1005:1005::/home/vmail/domain.tld
can someone help?
thanks a lot.
regards
thomas
