I'm running opensuse Tumbleweed and did a regular dist-upgrade (zypper dup). However due to a big workload at that time I didn't pay to much attention to what actually was updated then.

Spamassassin fails
Hi! I've been running a server with Dovecot, Sieve, Spamassassin and getmail to handle my emails for several years now. Just before christmas I did one of these regular updates and since then I got problems with spamassassin. Quite a lot of spam is not been filtered out. I can see a lot of errors like these in the mail-log. spamd: failed to create readable default_prefs: /home/vmail/.spamassassin/user_prefs Vmail is the user that is running my scripts that retrieves email and executes spamc.

Re: Migration
Thanks! That was a really useful answer. // Hans Den 2018-12-30 kl. 10:53, skrev Sami Ketola: On 29 Dec 2018, at 23.49, Hans Brage wrote: Hi!

I've understood that best method for migration is to run doveadm backup -R from the new server. But I really cant figure out what other parameters or settings that I need to perform that task and if it should be run as user vmail or root. Would be greatful for any tips, hints, links or similiar. Once you have the new server set up, you can use dsync over ssh to sync the mailboxes with something like: doveadm backup -u user@newserver -R ssh sudouser@oldserver sudo /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u user@oldserver needs to be run as root on new server. Also ssh access with keys and without password is recommended. Sami
