Hi. I have two questions that don't appear to be answered anywhere:
Many of my users use a fetchmail ssh tunnel to get their mail. Typically this looks like poll 140.247.60.120 with proto imap: plugin "ssh -2 %h /usr/sbin/imapd" auth ssh;
uw-imapd provides a binary /usr/sbin/imapd that can be used for an ssh-imap tunnel. I found /usr/lib/dovecot/imap (in Debian) which might work as a replacement, except that it appears that running /usr/lib/dovecot/imap doesn't properly read in the configuration file--for example, it is trying to create dotlocks, but in the configuration I have flock. Is there any way I can do what I want to do here?
Dovecot seems to be dying spontaneously in conjunction with SquirrelMail. Do you have any experience of this? SquirrelMail ends up reporting that there was no response to the CAPABILITY query. If I restart Dovecot, everything is fine again. I don't see anything in the logs to indicate the problem. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks for any pointers...
