<div class="PlainText">I’m running Dovecot 2.3.4 on FreeBSD 11.2 with qmail. In my mail log, I see messages like this on every delivery<br>
<br>
Jan 8 10:30:02 v1 qmail: 1546961402.314222 delivery 533: success: lda(matt,)Error:_net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer)_failed:_Permission_denied/did_0+0+1/<br>
<br>
Searching for this error, I found a message on a support forum for a different server that suggested adding this to dovecot.conf:<br>
<br>
service stats {<br>
unix_listener stats-reader {<br>
user = vmail<br>
group = vmail<br>
mode = 0660<br>
}<br>
<br>
unix_listener stats-writer {<br>
user = vmail<br>
group = vmail<br>
mode = 0660<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
The person reporting the error said that this corrected it. But since I’m running qmail, I have no vmail user/group. I’m guessing that I need to replace user/group with the values that some mail delivery process is running with. I’ve tried a couple of things
with no success. Any ideas?<br>
