This one should do the trick.

Re: Courier-imap + Postfix problem
Hello Brent, I did a straight fowrard 'make install' for courier-imap in the ports directory. I configured it to use SSL. I have never installed fam manually, although it is possible that it got installed as a dependency with another port. So, i don't know why i'm the only one having issues :-) Thanks for your response. Google found a couple of articles in which ppl compained about fam errors in their maillogs. Apparently, fam (for some reason on my system, and theirs) needs to be running for use by courier-imap. Furthermore, for fam to be happy, portmap needs to be running. On starting these two services, the errors magically dissappeared. I would still like to know how i got into this situation though! All i got to do now, it seems, is start portmap and fam on system boot. I know portmap_enable=YES in rc.conf does the trick, but what about starting fam?

Re: Courier-imap + Postfix problem
Ok, i haven't got any responses regarding this post, but i have found what i think might be causing the problem. I setup my server with the hostname berkeley and installed everything i needed including postfix and courier-imap. I have since changed the hostname to server which was the name of my previous 5.2 release server (i had problems with the new berkeley hostname.) Anyway, i see in the output of postconf that there are two settings that appear to be dependent on the hostname, namely: berkeley_db_create_buffer_size=16777216 and berkeley_db_read_buffer_size=131072 Since the hostname changed to server, shouldn't these now be server_db_create_buffer_size=16777216 and server_db_read_buffer_size=131072?? If so: 1:)Could this be the source of my errors appearing in maillog(see below)? 2:)What do i need to do? - Reinstall postfix? Please advise, King regards Gareth Hi all, This problem has to do with my mail setup. I'm running postfix MTA and courier-imap server. My maillog file is filled with messages like the following: Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Failed to create cache file: maildirwatch (fre Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Error: Input/output error Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Check for proper operation and configuration Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: of the File Access Monitor daemon (famd).
