Hi all,
I have some updates on the hard-link discussion.
First, let me explain that I installed a test machine with CentOS 7.1
and dovecot/pigeonhole version 2.2.10-4 and the results where identical
on what I had on CentOS 6.7 and dovecot 2.0.9-19
The bottom line is that hardlinking works only when no, or at most only
one, RCPT have sieve filtering. For example:
- if no RCPT has sieve filters, hardlink is OK
- if only one RCPT has sieve filters, hardlink is OK
- if two or more RCPTs have sieve filters, hardlink is NOT working.
Some time ago I reported that, when disabling the sieve_before and
sieve_after options, hardlinks worked; however, this really was a side
effect of what written above.
So, let me do a straigth question: is someone using dovecot/LMTP with
hardlinking? To me, this seems a _very_ important feature, and I wonder
if I am doing something wrong or if the feature (hardlink+sieve) simply
does not exists.
Thanks.

centos 7.x is latest, so if you need help upgrade make a bug report to
centos, not waste your time here since you choiced a precompiled

the latest version here, this migth be a unknown bug you then have
found, but not if you use precompiled problems, then report to the
maintainers of such software
Hi,
does it means that when you use before_sieve and after_sieve in your
dovecot configuration the hard-linking part works?
I don't need help to upgrade to CentOS 7.x, but before going this route
I would understand if this is how dovecot/pigenhole are expected to work
(don't use hardlinks) or if I misconfigured something.
RedHat / CentOS are a very common base OS, so I wonder if I am the only
one hitting this problem or no.
Thanks.
