Hi all,
I just upgraded a couple of Fedora 9 workstations to try out 1.1.1 over NFS'd homedir's and I'm having trouble running dovecot in the same configuration we were with 1.0.14.
It's fairly simple, we use pine/alpine and set a couple of variables to fork rimapd directly:
- smtp-server=host (for the main mail machine)
- user-domain=host (same)
- set the inbox-path={localhost}INBOX
- ssh-command=%s %s %s %s
- ssh-path=/etc/rimapd
In rimapd we specifiy:
exec /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap 2>/dev/null
In dovecot.conf we specify:
protocols = imap listen = localhost mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=<path>/index/%u:CONTROL=<path>/control/%u namespace public { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } protocol imap { mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_plugins = quota imap_quota }
...and away we go. This enables us to run pine and dovecot locally on the workstations since our home directories are all NFS'd to a central server, essentially giving us Maildir access anywhere local.
This has been working great for a long time, and we still use it with 1.0.14, but as soon as I upgraded to 1.1.1, pine is telling me:
"rsh to IMAP server timed out" "localhost,143: Connection refused"
I know this is very pine specific, but our pine configuration hasn't changed, only dovecot has. I check the obvious answers like perms, and ensured the same dovecot conf exists, and it does. I'm pretty stumped. It's obviously the newer dovecot causing problems, but I don't know where exactly. If I run "/usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap" manually, i still get the normal IMAP session.
The only error I see anywhere is this in /var/log/maillog:
Jun 24 15:36:28 host IMAP(user): : Fatal: io_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 2): Operation not permitted
That doesn't really tell me much though.
Any ideas? Is dovecot taking different arguments now so my rimapd line isn't working properly?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
