mchk utility gives trace error

H

Running mchk gives the following error repeatedly:

(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:182:dir entry '..'
(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:182:dir entry '.'
(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:182:dir entry 'maildirsize'
(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:182:dir entry 'cur'
(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:182:dir entry 'new'
(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:182:dir entry 'tmp'
(trace)maildirpp_usage.c:209:done reading Maildir folder

Any insights into this error appreciated. It is preventing the mail configs from being rebuilt correctly.
 
Just curious if this is normal output on 8.3 now? There was a site blocking the utility from completing.
 
mchk errors

Hello,

I had a similar issue, but my error output was more clearly defined to particular mailboxes.
If you are getting errors on certain mailboxes.

Run the command

find /var/qmail/mailnames -type d -name '.*' -a -not -name '.spamassassin' -exec touch '{}'/maildirfolder \; -exec chown popuser.popuser '{}'/maildirfolder \;

Then run

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk -v

:)
