Hi John
Thanks for responding. I've progressed somewhat - details follow.

You aren't using the correct log_path; it should be:
log_path = /dev/stderr
I did have this option set, sorry - I pasted the previous config. The log process appears to be working since I changed a few other settings.
Google is your friend:
http://www.thedjbway.org/imap/dovecot.html
This is the exact URL which I'd started from before I even started building Dovecot.
$ cat /service/dovecot-imapd/run
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
echo "Starting dovecot IMAP service"
exec envuidgid dovecot
/usr/sbin/dovecot
-F
-c /etc/dovecot.conf
$ cat /service/dovecot-imapd/log/run #!/bin/sh exec setuidgid log multilog t /var/log/dovecot-imapd
I'm now getting the following error in the logs - any idea? The error isn't terribly informative.
Fatal: sigaction(SIGRTMIN) failed: Invalid argument
