Thunderbird (2.0) is all of a sudden checking mail server capabilities
and keep posting a popup saying:
"Mail Server imap.bard.edu is not an IMAP4 mail server". To the best of
my knowledge, neither Tbird nor DC have been updated, though the DC imap
host was rebooted today 3 hours ago. Any info on what this is about?
DC is currently serving out of a special port and in evaluation
list....I can't imagine that this message would please the user
community! Killing and restarting dovecot appears to have at least
temporarily stopped this behavior.
Also and perhaps related, I am seeing a syslog message:
imap-login: No authentication sockets found
child xxxxxx (login) returned error 89
using SSL encrypted IMAP service
Background: DC 1.0, invoked from /etc/rc.local during boot. After
stopping and restarting DC, things seem to work again. As per an old
problem, I checked /var/run/dovecot, but it was empty with plenty of
space. FWIW, the owner/group for login dir (/var/run/dovecot) is
dovecot:dovecot, perm 755, while /var/run/dovecot/login is root:dovecot,
750.
Host is running AIXV5.3 TL5 SP6 (latest level), DC is compiled with
IBM's AIX for C, V6.0
dovecot -n output
# /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf

Do I need to set an O/S or SSL max for authentication sockets? If so,
any info would be appreciated
Thanks!
