Greetings.
I have a problem where a mix format mailbox loses emails. The problem
goes away when I use an mbx format mailbox, here are the details for mix:
after build mlock, mailutil and dbmail were copied to /usr/bin, imapd
copied to /usr/sbin.
version: imap2006b and imap2006c latest development snapshot (Oct 22 2006)
test set of 1789 emails.
ext3 filesystem.
... delete the INBOX
# killall imapd
imapd: no process killed
# rm -rf /var/mail/domains/mclarkson/INBOX
... create a new INBOX
# su -c "mailutil create '#driver.mix/INBOX'" mclarkson
... empty mail.log
# :>/var/log/mail.log
... pump the mails in from another linux box
... postfix smtp server delivers using maildrop
... maildrop delivers using a pipe:
... to "|dmail mclarkson"
...
... mail.log shows dmail attempted to deliver all mails
# grep "delivered to /var/mail/domains/mclarkson/INBOX"
/var/log/mail.log | wc -l
1789
... ensure mailq is empty and check message count
# mailq | tail -1
Mail queue is empty
# su -c "mailutil check INBOX" mclarkson
859 new message(s) (1483 unseen), 1483 total in INBOX
... different results each time:
# su -c "mailutil check INBOX" mclarkson
1496 new message(s) (1496 unseen), 1496 total in INBOX
# su -c "mailutil check INBOX" mclarkson
1515 new message(s) (1515 unseen), 1515 total in INBOX
... slow down the sender, things improve
1781 new message(s) (1781 unseen), 1781 total in INBOX
