Hi,
I'm running dovecot 2.3.16 on Ubuntu 22.04.2.
But when I start dovecot, I can only see that the services are failing to start. It don't show any additional error about why it's failing, may be because the log service is not running?
Oct 06 15:19:00 master: Error: service(log): command startup failed, throttling for 2.000 secs Oct 06 15:19:45 master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 2.000 secs Oct 06 15:19:53 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling for 2.000 secs Oct 06 15:21:45 master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 4.000 secs Oct 06 15:21:53 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling for 4.000 secs Oct 06 15:23:45 master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 8.000 secs Oct 06 15:23:53 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling for 8.000 secs Oct 06 15:25:45 master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 16.000 secs Oct 06 15:25:53 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling for 16.000 secs Oct 06 15:27:45 master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 32.000 secs Oct 06 15:27:53 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling for 32.000 secs Oct 06 15:28:23 master: Error: service(stats): command startup failed, throttling for 2.000 secs Oct 06 15:28:25 master: Error: service(stats): command startup failed, throttling for 4.000 secs Oct 06 15:29:44 master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 60.000 secs Oct 06 15:29:53 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling for 60.000 secs
Is there any option that I can run those services manually so I can see what's going on and why those are not stating? or any other option to debug it?
