It seems that in the conversion of dovecot.conf from v1 to v2 this setting comes across. I'm not sure why, but in the dovecot log this is the error one receives, not to mention, username/password dialog continually popping in Outlook: auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) in directory /var/run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=89(vpopmail) egid=89(vchkpw) missing +r perm: auth-worker, euid is not dir owner) Google'ing this I found Timo Sirainen's solution here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg34190.html I'll go ahead and subscribe to the development list.
