Hi List,
last time i did a lot of packaging and installing different versions
of dovecot 1.0.x (rc not included ;) )and all was fine.
Now a have a little problem. In this case it was an update from
1.0.13 to 1.1.1
Sometime it happens that 1 user out of x (more than 100) got this
standardmessage for ~1 or ~2 thousend times in his mailbox (mbox)
for example:
From MAILER_DAEMON Mon Sep 18 16:16:14 2006
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:16:14 +0200
From: Mail System Internal Data <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-IMAP: 1158588973 0000001177
Status: RO
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is
not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system
software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-
created
with the data reset to initial values.
These are created by the University of Washington's implementation of
an IMAP server. Notice the date is nearly 2 years ago. At some point,
it seems your site was running imap-uw.

I can follow this in maillog:
Jul 1 16:01:04 myhostname dovecot: POP3(username): Disconnected:
Logged out top=0/0, retr=1177/21638, del=1177/1177, size=454
The Mails came from nowhere from one moment to other. But it seems
that it was not first pop-login after dovecot update.
Update time was 14:57 Uhr. Pop-Login which "created" this mails was
3rd after update.
It is not a big problem, seems to happens one only time but i want
to know the backgrounds.
Do you need further data? My 1.1.1 /etc/dovecot.conf looks like this:
