I was surprised by the symlink behaviour so I'm reconsidering the use of
the dovecot plugin, but I still wanted to ask whether this behaviour is
considered OK. I've read the appendfile docs and I could find anything
explicit about symlinks.
The coding probably doesn't consider the possibility of multiple paths
into a single directory, as afforded by the use of symlinks, at all.
I've not checked, though.
"OK" is in the eye of the beholder, naturally.
Handling the case would likely be a feature-addition. The fastest
fix would be to not traverse symlinks, I suppose.
I'd like to say thanks for the replies, and ask for guidance how to put
this on the feature-addition-list so that it won't be forgotten, I did
find the problem Cyborg was alluding to in a post from a while ago :)
I had a quick look at the code but did not see a fast path to a fix.
Maarten.
