Message Deduping duplicating messages

Hi,

just wanted to let you know I'm experiencing the same problem. Running 8.0.0. Circumstances are roughly the same: 'enable message deduping' is disabled for one mailbox and that mailbox is experiencing re-delivery of messages, while other mailboxes have no problem.

The option "Enable Message Deduping" is disabled on all accounts and on all used COS settings therefore any duplicate message should get delivered. Settings are:

Code:

zimbraMessageIdDedupeCacheTimeout: 0 zimbraMessageIdDedupeCacheSize: 0

On restarting Zimbra or whenever mailboxd is restarted the following error is found in our logs on arrival of the first email
leading to many many duplicated deliveries to user mailboxes until the problem is resolved:

Code:

Our current solution is to enable message deduping for a dummy account and on restart of Zimbra send emails to it right on the restart from within the init-script to initialise the Deduping Cache.

Our assumption is that there is a problem on setting up the Message Deduping Cache which seems uninitialised right after a restart.
We can reproduce this problem on every restart but did not find the issue being addressed anywhere while the feature is being used in many production systems as it seems.

Is there an immediate fix available?

Is this a known issue?
