[Dovecot] Errors in log file
Hi,
just wonder about some errors I found with:
doveadm log errors:
… Dec 16 17:21:55 imap(roessner@****): Error: stat(/srv/mail/virtual/*****/roessner/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory …
And this is correct, it is a link:
.dovecot.sieve -> sieve/default.sieve
I do not see, where I have an error in my config ;)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance :)

This is why it's not a good idea to use home as the Maildir root directory. You can work around this by setting maildir_stat_dirs=yes (minor performance hit). A bigger problem comes if a user creates a "dovecot/sieve" folder.

I fully agree. The mailboxes are historical from an old Courier-IMAP server. Maybe more than 5 years ago. I switched to Dovecot in the past.
Probably I will write a little script and rearrange the directory structure.
The workaround is okay for now. Thanks a lot
Enjoy the holidays

Solved! 15.000 lines bash script and now I have a perfect clean directory structure and all problems are gone
Happy holidays Christian

Care to share the script? I collect cool little things like this in case I ever need something like it...

Of course. This script is a python script that generates the bash script. It assumes that the maildir is directly und a users home and that also the sieve folder lives inside the maildir. But the script is very simple, so you can adopt it to your needs:
Second, it looks for a sieve script called default.sieve, which I told roundcube to use as a name. So maybe you need to adjust this as well.
The result looks something like:
#!/bin/bash
P=/srv/mail/virtual
umask 077
…
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr ${P}/deltaweb.de/__maildir__cr__
mkdir ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr
chown vmail:mail ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/__maildir__cr__ ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir
mkdir ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve
chown vmail:mail ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve
if [[ -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve/default.sieve ]]; then
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve/default.sieve ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve/
test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.svbin &&
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.svbin ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.lda-dupes &&
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.lda-dupes ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve.log &&
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve.log ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
( cd ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr; ln -s sieve/default.sieve .dovecot.sieve )
rm -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve
fi
rm -rf ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve
…
exit 0
It is not perfect, but for our server it did the trick ;-) So enjoy…
