Hi,

[root at mail ~]# doveadm auth cache flush
doveadm(root): Error: userdb lookup:
connect(/var/run/dovecotauth-master) failed: No such file or directory
0 cache entries flushed

On the other hand I can confirm, that the user has a homedirectory which
he can access and write to. (e.g. there is a .forward file written by
that user.)

Strange. Cheers . Götz
