I tried the different methods suggested in this bug report, but had
no success with any of them.
Using
stats_writer_socket_path=
causes "doveadm index" to fail with
bjorn@canardo:~$ doveadm index -q -u bjorn INBOX.Spam
doveadm(bjorn): Error: net_connect_unix() failed: Connection refused
This can probably be worked around. But I'd prefer too many hacks just
to make stuff work again...
For now I ended up using:
service stats {
unix_listener stats-writer {
mode = 0666
}
}
I don't want to add mail users to the dovecot group. It's unclear to me
what privileges this will result in now and in the future. And I don't
want to maintain yet another mail user group anyway.
This mess should really be sorted out. Either there should be a way to
easily disable the stats service, or using it should be allowed for all
currently unprivileged operations. By default.
