[Dovecot] Errors logged from 2.0.11
Hi all,
we use dovecot 2.0.11 with local (LDAP based) users and see (occasionally) error messages like "Mar 15 09:29:26 MailServ local3:err|error dovecot: imap(xxxx): Error: creat(/dovecot.mailbox.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=1985(xxxx) egid=219(yyyy) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) but all (filesystem) permissions are correct and the user doesn't report any errors.
All works as expected. What can be the reason for such messages?

It's trying to open a file from root directory. Maybe that user's home directory is set to /?
Hi Timo, hi all,
"Mar 15 09:29:26 MailServ local3:err|error dovecot: imap(xxxx): Error: creat(/dovecot.mailbox.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=1985(xxxx) egid=219(yyyy) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner)
It's trying to open a file from root directory. Maybe that user's home directory is set to /? No, HOME directories for those users are correct (from LDAP: "/home/xxx"; physical via softlink to "/srv/mail/xxx").
What time "dovecot.mailbox.log" should be created? We use "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY" in "10-mail.conf".

I see. INDEX=MEMORY is the problem, fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/4f1b77b81cf3
(Why do you have indexes disabled anyway?)
Hi Timo, hi all,

(Why do you have indexes disabled anyway?) Because of too much errors "Corrupted index cache file ..." in logfiles.
