I only run dbmail as non root, feel much safer that way. I'm not sure
why you are having problems here are a couple of thoughts. Are you
launching as root, or is the effective user executing the programs?
Does that user have the required permissions to get to the dbmail.conf
file?

Hello,
I am new to DbMail. I intend to use it as a local storage system for my
mail, as I have large folders (tens of thousands of messages).
As it's local storage only, I will use a non-standard port above 1024.
So I don't need to run dbmail-imapd as root.
I have set the EFFECTIVE_USER and EFFECTIVE_GROUP settings in
/etc/dbmail.conf , yet the process is still shown in top as "root". And
if I try to start it from a non-root prompt, it simply does not start.
How do I set it to non-root?
Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
