Hi, I installed Dovecot on FreeBSD 4-STABLE machine and have a problem.
MTA is postfix delivering to ~/Maildir, runs perfectly.
Dovecot is configured to use plaintext auth, config file is at the end of this mail.
When trying to get mail via IMAP, I'm getting the following errors:
/var/log/dovecot.log
Aug 24 12:00:35 Info: Dovecot starting up Aug 24 12:00:51 Info: Login: goshik [193.233.44.234]
/var/log/maillog
Aug 24 12:00:51 banka dovecot: We couldn't drop root group privileges Aug 24 12:00:51 banka imap(goshik): child 2045 (imap) returned error 89
Am I missing something? What was done incorrectly?
Help please, Igor
