It happens with mails that are larger than 128 kB. Then Dovecot creates a .temp.* file and unlink()s it and tries to keep using it as a temporary file. I thought this would have worked with all NFS clients, since at least Linux then renames the file to .nfs.* file and deletes it automatically.. Can you try what happens if you do in your FreeBSD on NFS system: touch foo tail -f foo& rm -f foo fg Does it complain about stale NFS handle? The reason this wasn't happening with older versions was because deliver did this in /tmp instead of in user's home.
