Package: masqmail
Version: 0.2.30-1
Severity: critical
Tags: lfs
Justification: causes serious data loss
Dear Maintainer,
I'm using masqmail -g to fetch email with pop3, and store them in a
traditional mbox file. New mails silently ceased to arrive. (Luckly I
discoverd this after irretrievably loosing "only" a bit more than 100
mails...) It turns out my mbox reached a size of 2 GiB.
Not only does masqmail fail to store the mails: it doesn't even realize
anything is wrong -- so there is no warning whatsoever, and the
undelivered mails are purged from the queue.
