[Dovecot] Problem building dovecot 2.2.10 with pigeonhole 0.4.2

Hi, I am on CentOS 5.10 x86_64 and I am trying to build RPMs for Dovecot 2.2.10 with pigeonhole 0.4.2. I am getting an error that autogen.sh is missing from pigeonhole 0.4.2 source (as available from: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2.tar…) /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89185: line 92: /home/mockbuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/dovecot-2.2.10/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2/autogen.sh: No such file or directory Indeed, the file is missing, as: tar --list -f dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2.tar.gz | grep autogen ...produces no output. However, I managed to use the latest source code: http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/shortlog/32beba3bfd8d which does contain an autogen.sh, and this package worked fine. I guess the released source tar pack should be updated? Thanks and regards, Nick

[Dovecot] Dovecot doesn't seem to read userdb for the first delivery

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello List, First of all, this is my first post so please bear with me if I miss something. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot 2.0.19 as the LDA. The home directory is of the form `/var/mail/virtual/<domain>/<username>`. The mail directory is under the home directory and named `mail`. `mail_location` is left empty, and userdb is specified using SQL: user_query = SELECT uid AS uid, \ gid AS gid, \ homedir AS home, \ maildir AS mail \ FROM users WHERE email = '%u' Everything had been fine, until I added a new user. In the log, Dovecot complains that it doesn't have permission to create the mail directory (email address replaced): > Jan 2 05:46:19 mail1 dovecot: lda(test(a)test.com): Error: user > test(a)test.com: > Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location > setting > failed: mkdir(mail) in directory /var/spool/postfix failed: Permission > denied > (euid=5000(virtual) egid=5000(virtual) missing +w perm: > /var/spool/postfix, > dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Sometimes it complains about /run/dovecot instead of /var/spool/postfix, but I think that doesn't really matter. I think not specifying `mail_location` confused Dovecot, as explained in [MailLocation][1]. When I put in the right value for `mail_location` the error went away. What I don't understand is, it is said in the [same document][1] that the userdb field `mail` will override `mail_location` anyway. I would think that I can skip `mail_location` if I specify userdb `mail` for all users. Is the document wrong?
