[Dovecot] Dovecot fails when vpopmail is enabled
Hello Friends,
===================================================== -bash-3.2# dovecot --version 1.2.5 -bash-3.2# dovecot -n # 1.2.5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen x86_64 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login lda: postmaster_address: postmaster@example.com auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
I am trying to enable vpomail support in dovecot.
I modified default dovecot conf file as given below.
=============================================== -bash-3.2# diff /etc/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot.conf.original 691c691 < auth_cache_size = 1000
#auth_cache_size = 0 886c886 < passdb vpopmail {
#passdb vpopmail { 888,890c888,890 < args = cache_key=%u%s * < } <
#args =
#}
===============================================
I am not able to run dovecot after this.
========================================= -bash-3.2# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] -bash-3.2# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] -bash-3.2# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] -bash-3.2#
Could some one please help me to find what went wrong.

Hello Timo,
Thank you so much for your kind help.
I think I found the problem.

I am trying to build dovecot from source now.
