Tracing lost emails

Hi,

It sems to me that some of my emails are lost after it arrived to the maildir folder. I realized that some emails should arrive, but it did not.

The scenario is the following:

I use procmail to deliver the emails. I have a procmail.log file which states that it put the email to the correct incoming directory. (~/Maildir/new)

Seeing that I added a new rule in procmail, which stores the message to an MH folder (~/Maildir/save), to see that it really arrives next time.

Today I saw 2 new emails in the save folder, which are not made into my incoming folder. After copying these files manually to the incoming folder, they appeared.

Other emails arrive correctly. I use a spam filter, but it only copies the emails to a different folder. I use Mac OSX Mail.

I use gentoo, and the latest stable version in gentoo now is 4.0.4. As I see gentoo uses a FAM and BDB configure support patch, they does not seem to be related.

I use XAMS, which have its own authdaemon, but it does not seem to be related either.

Is there any way to add verbose logging to imapd-ssl wihch logs every new message which imapd realizes or something like this to trace how the email is lost?

Regards,

Balázs Szabó (dLux)

I had a similar issue with procmail when I first switched to
using the
Maildir format.  I was able to fix it easily enough by
adding a trailing
slash (/) after the mailbox name.  Eg:

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$MAILDIR.Spam/

etc.  Even though I'm specifying the root of the folder,
procmail still
intelligent enough to copy the mail to the new/ folder on
it's own.  It all
seems to depend on that trailing slash, though.

I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it may be
worth trying.

Hello,

The problem is solved, it was a very stupid mistake.
