Re: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied

Hi, I'm seeing the same, but I think it's every time the lda is called to deliver mail to a mailbox. Postfix runs it as vmail:vmail. My socket is owned by root:dovecot (on Debian buster). Should I add vmail to the dovecot group to enable it to write? Or is changing the socket to 0666 safer?

OT: SASL questions

Hi all, Apologies for the somewhat off-topic questions - I'm trying to get my head around SASL, and what it is/does. I can see that a (SMTP, IMAP etc) server can offer various authentication methods, which are pre-defined and which the client can choose from. SASL then seems to define how those

Password database - external verification

Hi all, I'm currently using a PostgreSQL database for my user/password db, directly from dovecot. The trouble with that is that I'm stuck with whatever hash algorithms dovecot supports - which IIRC means (a subset of?) what libc has been compiled with, which can be a bit restrictive. So I'd like

sql table definitions

Hi all, Trivial question ... I'm using PostgreSQL for my auth db. I used the example CREATE TABLE statement in the config file, but now I find the fields are too short. I assume dovecot will be fine with 'text' type columns replacing the varchars? Or failing that, I can change the length of the

Maildir migration - using separate INDEX and CONTROL directories?

Hi all, I'm working on a migration from Courier to Dovecot, and the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl seems to work ok, but it puts all the metadata files (dovecot-uidlist etc) in the Maildir, while I want to put them in the appropriate places as specified: mail_location =

Multiple servers and NFS

Hi all, For some reason, I didn't go to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS until now, and I'm starting to get worried ... The plan was to have multple servers (MXes) receiving mail, and delivering via LMTP to multiple backend dovecot servers (with amavis in front of dovecot; LMTP both sides).
