Hello Paul,

is there the chance of storage hardware failures? Or VPS I/O issues in case it 
is on a VPS?

Hello group,

Since a few days I have massive problems with lockfiles blocking the
mailboxes (type storage, /var/mail/user).
don't know if it's the right list. may more concern dovecot.

postqueue is full of
944C223FC2    17905 Fri Mar 28 06:02:01  XXX
(cannot update mailbox /var/mail/pane for user XXX. unable to create
lock file /var/mail/XXX.lock: File exists) XXX

6530223FC9     3597 Fri Mar 28 06:11:46  XXX
(cannot update mailbox /var/mail/XXX for user XXX. unable to lock for
exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable) XXX

and messages get delivered, but after ages.

most of the time lsof /var/mail/XXX shows one to two processes of
dovecot/imap

There were no configuration changes at the point the problem started.

Do you have ideas or tips how to debug this further?
or should I look for a dovecot mail list?

Thank you

Paul
