Hi!
Have been using Fedora as my dovecot server for some time and am struggling with systemd at every update. Fedora insists on setting ProtectSystem=full in both dovecot.service and postfix.service at every update of the packages.
This makes my mailstore which is in /usr/local/var/mail Read-only.
And this makes the incoming emails delivered through dovecot-lda disappear into /dev/null until I notice the problem and we lose incoming emails.
My question is: Is there any way to set up a failback mailstore for these occasions?
PS! I really hate systemd - Destroys the UNIX way of doing things with a heavy axe....
Don't hate it, better learn to use it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd#Drop-in_files
Just override the default conf and update won't break it.
Will have a look on that thanks...
Also, maybe it's time to move Your mailstore under /var/something... I guess even more restrictions will be applied on /usr in the future. If You want to do things in the UNIX way then first make sure You know what should go under /usr and what not ;)
Local mods/repositories etc. should go under /usr/local... /usr/local/spool, /usr/local/var etc.... Has been like that for 40 years now and there is no reason to break it by a noob programmer (LP) that wants UNIX to behave like Windows...
Systemd is really a misnomer and a constant source of problems.
