            Bug ID: 2802
           Summary: Transport defers for maildir++ subfolder when top
                    level maildirsize file doesn't exist
           Product: Exim
           Version: N/A
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Transports
          Assignee: unallocated@???
          Reporter: darren@???

When doing a first ever delivery (that is, with a brand new user who has not
received any mail delivered to their top level inbox) into a maildir++
subfolder (in this case /.Spam), Exim checks for a top level /maildirsize file
when the maildir_use_size_file option is set, before attempting to delver the
message into the /.Spam subfolder. The missing /maildirsize file causes the
message to be defered rather than delivered into the /.Spam folder, leaving it
on the queue.

It would seem that Exim cannot deliver mail directly to a maildir++ subfolder
because of the check for a /maildirsize file, which is only created or updated
after a successful delivery.

Is it possible to have this restriction lifted? If the /maildirsize file does
not exist before a delivery, it should be taken as being of zero length so that
deliveries are not deferred. Once the delivery into the subfolder is complete,
the /maildirsize file would be updated with the relevant size info.
