Hi,
I have dovecot 2.0.20 running (its an old version, I know, it came from the stable archive at OpenCSW) with Solaris SMF integration working fine. It enables and disables okay.
However, I cantt connect to it, it is allowing the connection, but spewing on permissions:

If I actually try to copy mail to the inbox of the account it core-dumps and does, and the SMF service drops into maintenance mode which requires re-enabling.
The output from doveconf -n (this is changes from the default settings I think?) is:
root@proliant-1:~# doveconf -n # 2.0.20: /etc/opt/csw/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc zfs auth_first_valid_uid = 101 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 101 mail_location = maildir:/mpool/mail/%u passdb { driver = pam } ssl_cert =
The mail_location is in a ZFS filesystem on my RAIDz array. I couldnt think of any other way of creating user-specific folders in the location. As the value suggests, each user gets their own directory on the filesystem for mail.
Is this still a ‘safe’ way to do things or would I be better off relocating each user’s ‘home’ directory to the pool somehow?
This is what the directory currently looks like:
mark@proliant-1:~$ ls -la /mpool/mail total 6 drwxrwxrwx+ 3 root root 3 2013-11-24 17:17 . drwxr-xr-x+ 5 root root 5 2013-11-24 13:50 .. drwxrwxrwx+ 5 mark staff 9 2013-11-24 22:20 mark
mark@proliant-1:~$ ls -la /mpool/mail/mark/ total 14 drwxrwxrwx+ 5 mark staff 9 2013-11-24 22:20 . drwxrwxrwx+ 3 root root 3 2013-11-24 17:17 .. drwxrwxrwx+ 2 mark staff 2 2013-11-24 17:17 cur -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff 51 2013-11-24 22:20 dovecot-uidlist.tmp -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff 8 2013-11-24 22:20 dovecot-uidvalidity -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff 0 2013-11-24 17:17 dovecot-uidvalidity.529234ad -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mark staff 40 2013-11-24 22:20 dovecot.index.log.newlock drwxrwxrwx+ 2 mark staff 2 2013-11-24 17:17 new drwxrwxrwx+ 2 mark staff 3 2013-11-24 17:21 tmp
Any ideas?
