[0:root@elmo ~]$ rpm -q dovecot dovecot-2.2.18-2.fc22.x86_64
I got a surprise today when I tried the doveadm search function from: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire
[0:root@elmo ~]$ doveadm search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d doveadm(clamscan): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(//Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=982(clamscan) egid=289(clamscan) missing +w perm: /, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0555) doveadm(clamscan): Error: User init failed doveadm(nm-openconnect): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(//Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=986(nm-openconnect) egid=293(nm-openconnect) missing +w perm: /, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0555) doveadm(nm-openconnect): Error: User init failed doveadm(openvpn): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/etc/openvpn/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=987(openvpn) egid=296(openvpn) missing +w perm: /etc/openvpn, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) doveadm(openvpn): Error: User init failed .. plus several more
I wouldn't think the search function (or any operation) would try to create mailboxes. These are system user ids that don't have or need mailboxes.
Is this correct?
