Hi list,

I've just set up a 2.1.7 server, and have migrated a couple of accounts across from a 2.0.15 server, keeping the old configs. I have a strange problem on the new box in that altmove just doesn't work. I have my main storage under /home/email, indexes under /home/indexes and ALT under /home/email_archive.

When I run the altmove command, the following broken symlink is created in /home/email/integrafin.co.uk/acrow:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 email email 54 Jun 8 10:46 dbox-alt-root -> /home/email_archive/integrafin.co.uk/a/acrow/mailboxes

But nothing is created in the archive other than the empty directory: /home/email_archive/integrafin.co.uk/a/acrow.

My mail_location is:

mail_location = mdbox:/home/email/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/indexes/%d/%1n/%n:ALT=/home/email_archive/%d/%1n/%n

This worked perfectly on the older server. I have attached my doveconf -a output.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards

Alex

BTW I need to add that even with -v -D there were no complaints from dovecot altmove, and nothing untoward in /var/log/maillog. I also forgot to specify that I'm running on Centos6.2, all updates applied, package was built with a combo of the spec file from ATRPMs and the latest source tarball.

I previously had the ATRPMS 2.1.1 package installed, same issue.

Please feel free to tell me if I'm doing something wrong (ie something has changed between 2.0 and 2.1 re ALT: storage.

Cheers

Alex
