[Dovecot] nfs flush/fsync config settings problem

[Wesley Huang]

Hi Alessio,

After days sorting the Heartbleed mess, I managed to set up Debian 
Squeeze amd64 for the test and I'm seeing the same error message:

Fatal: nfs flush requires mail_fsync=always

# doveconf -n | egrep 'fsync|nfs'
mail_fsync = always
mail_nfs_index = yes
mail_nfs_storage = yes

Cheers,

Wesley
