We recently added code to make sure Dovecot never just waits infinitely when nothing can wake it up. Looks like there's the maildirlock where such wait is intentional, because it just waits until a signal kills it. > maildirlock is documented in Dovecot's manual, in this page: > https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib > <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib> Maybe the solution is to just depecate the whole tool.. You can use dsync to do the initial compression. No other mailbox format has a similar feature, and I think Maildir shouldn't have such special features anymore.
