Hello, and thanks in advance for your help. I was having trouble with dovecot-1.0beta2 after it worked flawlessly since January. Thunderbird was complaining that dovecot was not returning proper mail server capabilities (its log seems to confirm this). I checked the dovecot site and saw a new beta (beta9) with lots of bug fixes, so I downloaded it and installed it.
The configure and make ran without incident. Before running 'sudo make install' I stopped the dovecot process with a SIGTERM. I installed and tried to restart the server, but now I get the two following errors:
Error: socket() failed: Protocol not supported Fatal: listen(993) failed: Protocol not supported
I went back and re-configured without IPv6 support, recompiled, and reinstalled. I even rebooted, but still the same result. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am running OpenBSD 3.5 i386.
<time passes...>
After some printf's, I found
Error: socket() failed: Protocol not supported Error: section 2 port = 993 my_ip.family = 0 so.sin.family = 0 SOCK_STREAM = 1 AF_UNIX = 1 AF_INET = 2 AF_INET6 = 24 Fatal: listen(993) failed: Protocol not supported
in function net_listen(...) in src/lib/network.c. My socket programming is a little rusty, but don't we want an address family of AF_INET or AF_INET6? Moving up into src/master/main.c I found
set->protocols = imap imaps set->listen_ip.family = 2 set->listen_port = 143 set->ssl_listen_ip.family = 0 set->ssl_listen_port = 993
These print statements start at line 361, right after
if (set->ssl_listen_ip.family == 0 && set->ssl_listen == NULL)
set->ssl_listen_ip = set->listen_ip;Is there something going wrong in resolve_ip? I'm out of time tonight trying to track this down. Hopefully someone else will have more knowledge to pinpoint the problem. Let me know if I can provide more information.
OK, one more tidbit. I hard-coded set->ssl_listen_ip.family to 2 and it seems to work beautifully. My mail server is back up. Why?
