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. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
