Several users are reporting old messages (sometime years old) are being
delivered as new on their blackberry devices... I've confirmed that this
happens to all blackberry users... I believe the problem is related to
this error:
Maildir: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID
In fact, this is the only mail related error message on the server...
the mail is stored on a glusterfs share, and I'm using director to
prevent simultaneous access... although I wasn't able to get LMTP to
work with Director... to simplify things, I've temporarily only
enabled 1 dovecot server anyway, to get everything else working first...
I'll fiddle with lmtp later... so right now only 1 server is accessing
the mailboxes. Delivery is also done from that one server, from postfix.
Possibly caused by GlusterFS, the indexes were still getting corrupted,
even with only 1 server... so I've moved the indexes to a local
directory on each server. I'm no longer getting index related errors...
but the expunged error is still occuring... and the error seems to
happen a few moments before the BB gets a bunch of messages... so it's
very likely related.
I would like to continue using GlusterFS if possible; I haven't found
any indication that it is outright unsupported, as long as I'm using
Director...
I am using dovecot 2.0.16.
Any help would be appreciated!
