Object with that ID already exists

Problem

LMTP rejecting messages with the exception "object with that id already exists".

Description

This issue rarely occurs when checkpoint (MySQL DB) value not updating. When this issue occurred, /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log will be logged with similar lines.

[LmtpServer-xxx] [name=affected.user@example.com;mid=xxx;ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;] lmtp - rejecting message from=sender@example.com,to=affected.user@example.com

Whenever a message sent/received, item_id_checkpoint will be increased to +1 and this will be the message id of that newly created message.

Example: Current item_id_checkpoint is 368, and if a user receives a new message then item_id_checkpoint will increase to +1 (369) and message id for the new message also will be 369.
