Dovecot 2.3 error, FreeBSD 12 in a jail
Hello,
I'm trying to get Dovecot going on my system. It's a FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE system and it's running dovecot 2.3 via ports in a jail. I'm getting the same error message(s) as in this bug report, which has been marked as closed:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225078
Dovecot is not starting at all in this jail when starting with service dovecot start. A service dovecot status also reveals the error message about /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf file, but a doveconf -n does not reveal any configuration file issues. I did put a symlink in /var/run/dovecot to /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, this did not correct the issue.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Hi David,
Your problem must be something to do with your jails on FreeBSD, IMHO. The FreeBSD port maintainer (Larry Rosenman) is here. Perhaps he'll be willing to help troubleshoot the jail issue.
