Hi!

Does the duplicate sieve plugin do any locking to avoid duplicate
parallel delivery of the same message?

I sometimes experience duplicate mail delivery of messages with the same
message-id, despite the use of a sieve duplicate filter. According to
the log files, those messages are delivered in the same second by two
parallel dovecot-lda processes. (Duplicate filtering works fine in all
other cases.)

RFC7352 states that the ID of a message may only be committed to the
duplicate tracking list at the _end_ of a successful script execution,
which may lead to race conditions.
Maybe I am running into this?

Is there an easy way to serialize mail delivery using some locking
inside sieve?

We've seen this before I think. It would require some changes to the duplicate tracking system. I'd expect the vacation command to be affected as well.

Or do I have to serialize per-user dovecot-lda delivery? Any experiences
with that?

Very little. I know there is a new lmtp_user_concurrency_limit setting, but there is not much documentation apart from the commit message:

https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/42abccd9b2a5a4190bd3c14ec2dcc10d51c0f491

There are possibilities from within the MTA as well I expect.

Stephan.
