As far as I can reproduce my problems, this usually happens, if you have a cluster of servers with mail_plugins=zlib enabled, forgot to enable zlib of one of the servers and enable zlib_save. The zlib enabled servers write compressed mails to disk with correct S-Value. If you access these compressed mails via the server without zlib plugin, this server will rename the mails to a corrupt S-value, which implies that none of the zlib enabled servers can read the mails any more nor repair them. Yes, I know, that this a layer 8 problem, but I would sleep better when I'd know that dovecot can repair this issue for me be fixing the S-value automatically. > Running http://dovecot.org/tools/maildir-size-fix.pl for all users > once should fix that.

There a missing zlib plugin will faster break your mailboxes than your script can find the broken boxes...
