I'm trying to follow the instructions from: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire for the BDB backend.
Everything is set up as indicated, but when I run:
dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool
I get back: Error: read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected
I'm sure it's something simple....
Thx
