Hi,
I'm using dovecot as a local mail store on my laptop using preauth tunneling. It turns out I almost don't even need to start dovecot at all; the only reason it needs to be running is so that FTS indexing can be invoked. And because I don't want it to run any services, I can run it as an unprivileged user, so long as I turn them all off:
# We don't want to serve any protocols, so we don't bind to any ports. # We can run everything as me. protocols = default_login_user = dave default_internal_user = dave
The only thing is, I keep getting these in var/log/mail.log:
anvil: Fatal: chroot(/Users/dave/brew/var/run/dovecot/empty) failed: Operation not permitted master: Error: service(anvil): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs auth: Error: read(anvil-auth-penalty) failed: EOF
Any suggestions?
TIA, Dave
