Hello all,

This is my first post to this list. I have tried finding this answer online but while it seems that there are some people out there asking, I cant seem to get an answer to it.

I have installed Dovecot some many month ago, and just recently I have been getting an error while trying to log into one of my accounts that I used all the time. The error that comes up is

pop3: We couldn't drop root group privileges

I have seen where someone else has asked this same question, but there was no response to the list. Anyone have any ideas? I use squirrel mail to check the account as well as KMail (IMAP), and have even tried logging in through telnet to port 110 to see if it was a client issue, but it appears to be dovecot. I am using BSD 4.9 and Exim if that helps any. Thanks a bunch, for now I have to ssh into the machine to check my mail via PINE or mail.
