Hi list!
I'm using Dovecot along with Postfix (with MySQL) and I'm having some
curious error messages in the mail log. Everything runs normally and
suddenly I start viewing messages like these:
Oct 12 14:24:23 dovecot: last message repeated 5 times
Oct 12 14:25:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times
Oct 12 14:26:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times
Oct 12 14:27:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times
Oct 12 14:29:22 mail dovecot: imap([email protected]): Error: fstat()
failed with file
/home/vmail/devels.es/nicolas/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or
directory
Oct 12 14:30:23 dovecot: last message repeated 5 times
Oct 12 14:31:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times
Oct 12 14:33:22 mail dovecot: imap([email protected]): Error: fstat()
failed with file
/home/vmail/devels.es/nicolas/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or
directory
Oct 12 14:34:23 dovecot: last message repeated 5 times
Oct 12 14:35:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times
Oct 12 14:36:01 mail dovecot: imap([email protected]): Error: fstat()
failed with file
/home/vmail/devels.es/nicolas/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or
directory
This file which Dovecot references to indeed exists, is accesible, etc.
Once I get the first of these messages, the user stops receiving e-mails
(the mail server keeps receiving them normally, though) until he
restarts the mail client. Then the error msg is gone and he receives all
their unreceived messages. This error appears in 6-12h. intervals once
the user starts their client.
Version is 2.0.19, and dovecot -n is:
root@mail:~# dovecot -n

}
protocol pop3 {

}
Thanks so much for any help!
