[Dovecot] Upgrade from 1.0.1 -> 1.0.5 failed (rc 75)

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Hi,

Thanks Asheesh, Timo reported a problem (lost his e-mail by mistake 
during my testing!) with the 1.0.1 deliver's chroot handling, which 
meant it had changed in 1.0.5, hence the inconsistencies in my setup.

As advised on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA (under Multiple UIDs) I moved 
deliver into a different directory, made it setuid root, and only the 
MTA user can get into that directory, works a treat!

Thanks guys,

Andy
