[Dovecot] Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36)

[Dennis Clarke]

I'm currently fighting my way through the dovecot configuration pages and
endless options to see if I can just get my mail from the server. Thus far
no joy but dovecot seems to be working if I could figure out the
configuration.  My process thus far has been :

1) read docs
2) try a config change
3) fail
4) goto (1)

I just saw an error while trying to read my /var/mail/dclarke good 'ol
mbox in the message.log :

Jul 06 12:58:50 IMAP(dclarke): Error: mbox root directory can't be a file:
/var/mail/dclarke/ (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox)

So I figure I better go read that page again and see what I did wrong this
time. I guess this is wrong :

   mail_location: mbox:/var/mail/%u

Even though that is where the mail actually is :

# ls -lap /var/mail
total 34
drwxrwxrwt   3 root     mail           6 Jul  6 02:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x  47 root     sys           47 May 30 02:52 ../
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     mail           2 May 29 23:47 :saved/
-rw-rw----   1 dclarke  mail           0 Jul  5 16:01 dclarke
-rw-rw----   1 lucone   mail         657 Jul  2 17:55 lucone
-rw-rw----   1 root     mail        8705 Jul  2 05:40 root

I shutdown the dovecot service on Solaris via svcadm and saw this in the
error log :


Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36)
Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (30)

Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (24)


I'm not too sure what that means but it doesn't look good.

Here is some info :

Any thoughts before I enter the infinite loop noted at the top of this
message ?   :-)
