Hmm, okay. How do they know when the file is fully regenerated?

Hello,
I recently saw these errors in my log, and one of my users complained
that Dovecot disconnected him unexpectedly. Any idea what might have
happened?

Can this be reproduced?
Not reliably or at-will (yet); it was a bit of a surprise.

Currently where I work we use qmail. Every time a message is

Qmail doesn't support quota calculations. The quota calculation you

This:
$ ls -f ./tmp ./cur | xargs rm
is really quite efficient, and doesn't fall prey to commandline globbing

Another one I use often is:

On my server with many mails in one folder and slow IO, getting the

Dovecot is the only thing accessing the mail folders, so would there

I understand that dovecot's deliver does a little more than deliver:
It also understands the 'seive' filter language (an alternative to
procmail).
