Hello
since few days I got this in dovecot log
I use 1.1.11 on Debian etch 64 bits
Thanks for any info
You need to give more info before you get more info. How about if mail is local to machine or on NFS. And also dovecot -n output.
OK
mail is local ( IBM X3650 RAID5 array )
mail:~# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 4.0 log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_processes_count: 6 max_mail_processes: 4096 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:%h/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
The docs say that ~/ is better than %h, and I think %h/ would be invalid for mbox. Maybe if you try mail_location: mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u or at least %h without the trailing /
OK gonna check that
Do you actually want the mboxes in the root of their home directories? ~/mail is probably safer as it will keep dovecot from trying to access other files that might be in the root of their home directories. So the best and safest would be mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
The machine is a "mail server only" that's why I did this there are no other files than imap folders in users's home directories.
Thanks for your help :-)
