Me too!
On etime I had nearly 60% of my (at this time) 5 mio
files trashed to ZERO size and NOW try to recover...

I am already thinking on pulling my Maildir entirely out of my FileServer
into a stand-alone Mailserver, since it seems, I can get 19"/1U machines
for less then 2000 Euro (using 3 WD360GD for System and 3 WD740GD for the
Maildir in where each is a Raid1 + Hotfix)
But then I do not know, how to handel the fetchmail and procmail recipes
which are locate in the ${HOME} of the FileServer. Maybe I run a script
each minute and check for changes which then use rsync to transfer the
files to the Mailserver...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
