Hello, I need help because since some days I can not figure out what error this is and where it come from. I have used dovecot since years. Know after an update it is broken. First I like to give you some data: It's a FreeBSD 11.0 Server with sendmail (SMTP) and dovecot for IMAP with SSL.

#dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=kqueue notify=kqueue ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192 Mail storages: shared mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir imapc pop3c raw fail SQL drivers: mysql Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap nss passwd prefetch passwd-file sql

#dovecot --version 2.2.30.2 (c0c463e)

I install the update with the FreeBSD ports. Before the update all was running fine.

The state know is: form my client Outlook I can send eMail above SMTP. When I try to get my eMails by the IMAP-Server it is blocked. I have look around in the config files but I see nothing what has could be changed. I have tried to make new *.pem files with using the script in /usr/local/share/examples/dovecot/ but this havn't bring a solution.

I need help for this error i see in the logs: dovecot.log master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address ..... dovecot-info.log imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 1 secs): user=<>, rip=77.178.105.78, lip=88.74.25.120, TLS Jun 12 23:01:15 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 8 secs): user=<>, rip=58.218.194.81, lip=88.74.25.120, TLS handshaking .... dovecot-debug.log imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write key exchange A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [77.178.105.78] imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [77.178.105.78] auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat
