Surely this was still a bit mistakely:
userdb static {
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
but it should be:
userdb static {
driver = static
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
Dovecot talks, if I start him:
root at myserver:~# dovecot
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: userdb is missing driver
:)
And now, after setting the user and group of the whole dir (which was just copied without the permissions owner and groups):
/home/vmail
to vmail:
chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail
THE GOOD DOVECOT IS WORKING!
Tank again, Tim!!!
