Hi!
I've been testing the new maildir_use_size_file option in exim 4.30 but
it is not working as I hoped when mixed with create_directory.
If I configure a transport like this:
maildir:
driver = appendfile
create_directory
maildir_format
maildir_use_size_file
quota = 4194304
quota_warn_threshold = 90%
directory=/path
...
If the directory doesn't exist, the debug shows that it first tries to
recalculate and write the maildirsize file before creating the directory:
appendfile transport entered
appendfile: mode=660 notify_comsat=0 quota=4194304 warning=90
directory=/path format=maildir
message_prefix=null
message_suffix=null
maildir_use_size_file=yes
... MAILDIRSIZE QUOTA CHECK
QUOTA maildirsize checks on directory /path
QUOTA unable to open maildirsize or file not is valid: /path
QUOTA maildirquota file set (I think) checkpath=/path quota_string=4194304S
QUOTA recalculation needed: checkpath=/path quota=0 size=0 message_size=250
rc=0
QUOTA from maildirsize: checkpath=/path quota=0 size=0 message_size=250
QUOTA maildirsize checked on checkpath=/path quota=0 saved_size=0
message_size=250
... DIRECTORY CREATION
delivering in maildir format in /path
created directory /path
created directory /path/tmp
created directory /path/new
created directory /path/cur
so it fails, the quota is 0, a warning is triggered and the user
receive an extra message telling it has exceed the quota.
quota = 0 threshold = 0 old size = 0 message size = 314
...
Warning message requested by transport
As a temp solution I've changed in src/transports/appendfile.c the
line 2161 from "else" to "else if (Ustat(check_path, &statbuf) == 0)" so
it uses the standard exim quota method if the directory doesn't exist, and
following mails will recreate the file in the right way:
appendfile transport entered
appendfile: mode=660 notify_comsat=0 quota=4194304 warning=90
directory=/path format=maildir
message_prefix=null
message_suffix=null
maildir_use_size_file=yes
delivering in maildir format in /path
created directory /path
created directory /path/tmp
created directory /path/new
created directory /path/cur
writing to file tmp/1072195627.H912225P13161.host
Exim quota = 4194304 old size = 0 this message = 250 (included)
file quota = 0 count = 0
writing data block fd=6 size=314 timeout=0

renaming temporary file
renamed tmp/1072195627.H912225P13161.host as
new/1072195627.H912225P13161.host
appendfile yields 0 with errno=0 more_errno=0

maildir transport returned OK for email@???
I know there is an hidden option like maildir_use_size_file_but
_create_directory_before but I haven't been able to find it :)
Is this supposed to be the right behaviour?
Any suggestion to get around this without changing sources?
Thx in advance.
