Stan, sorry but you didnot understand my question at all, dovecot in
this case is reading the mailbox file while user downloading the
mail
and not WRITING. only postfix write when a mail arrives and DOVECOT
only read the mail. And even if both write to the file, I
I can't answer (don't know), but I can tell you that this is not
true. Dovecot also writes to the file: updating message read flags
and such.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.....
Maildir is not for everyone, but it does handle issues like this
smoothly. The delivery agent is always able to deliver new mail.
We can not convert to maildir now as we have alot of users and
converting each account will take a huge time ..
well.. we can live with /var/mail/mailbox format , I just need to
understand the locking issue and hope
Timo will be able to answer our question..
Thanks again
