Bug#333518: Exim4 Maildir unrouteable address

Wed Oct 12 10:00:42 UTC 2005

Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: important

I have had problems with the combination of

Dovecot (Pop3), Exim4 (Maildir), Spamassassin and Procmail.

In one year I had for the second time a users Maildir crashed, so that i
got: 

** email at address: Unrouteable address

(email at address stands for the users mail address).

The resolution is to completely delete the mailbox and make a new
Maildir. I do not know what program is responsible but it is a really
ugly bug, because all mail sent to the address will be lost. It is a
seldom bug though and I do also not know under what circumstances it
comes to live.
