Hi,
I have apparmor installed on the machine, but even if stopped it the
problem didn't solved.
I think dovecot's systemd unit file configuration is this
one:/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/dovecot.conf
It's content is this:
# Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument
d /var/run/dovecot/ 0755 root root - -
d /var/run/dovecot/login/ 0750 root dovecot - -
Should I insert here a line for /tmp directory ?
Thank you and regards
Fiorenza
