Given Timo more or less told that person that dovecot may not be the best choice for their setup anyway, however he meant it, be it he said this on the back of not wanting to bother about correcting that issue and just parming off that poster, or was genuine in that it might not suite them, I don't know, but it did not look good, I am glad that thread existed though, because a few things brought out in open I would never have dreamed of being a problem, and we too may have ended up with corruptions. It is confusing though because that OP indicated he saw no problems, nor did some other posters, but, if the risk exists according to its author, then, it is something that should be addressed, given Timo will not address it, we will, by not using their software. To quote Wietse (from a few years ago) which is an excellent philosophy ... "I'm asking what the assurances are that the code actually works. As opposed to some piece of crap that just happens to work by accident most of the time. Proof by "I never had a problem" is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

This is now off topic I have had many off list responses and already like one of the suggestions no need for you to reply to me, as I don't waste time on trolls I'm sorry to any other list member who was bored enough to read this post, but sometimes, trolls need a fresh strong dose of reality coffee.
