Quoting Timo Sirainen tss@iki.fi:
Try grepping for "Warning" also. I usually put error logs to a different file. That file should stay empty (except for Dovecot stop messages).
Hi, I don't have a dovecot log specified in the config, so I believe
everything goes to syslog which I think all ends up in either maillog
or messages. I don't see anything in there with "Warning".
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%u mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes
Are you using NFS? With just one server or more? What NFS server?
In this case, no I'm not using NFS. The server on which I'm seeing
this problem has the maildir data on a local ZFS file system. I have a
sort of poor mans cluster where I can run all the services on one of
two servers which may or may not use NFS, but as mentioned in this
instance there is no NFS to worry about.
thanks Andy.
