I submitted this question to the Postfix maillist and they suggested that I post to this one. Here's my issue: I have a Postifx email system running on a CentOS 4 box, with Dovecot pop3 and imap. Last week, one of my users reported to me that about a dozen emails suddenly showed up in his in box (as unread messages), but none of them were addressed to him. Under further investigation, they turned out to be from another user's inbox. The messages were all over a month old. How could mail simply show up in one inbox from another user's? We're using Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5. Anyone else run into issues like this? -- *Jason Baker */IT Coordinator/ *Glastender Inc.* 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan 48604 USA 800.748.0423 Phone: 989.752.4275 ext. 228 Fax: 989.752.4444 www.glastender.com <http://www.glastender.com> -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT$ d- s: a C++$ LU+++$ P+ L++>L++++ !E--- W+++ N o?
