Hi Arthur, > It is generally not recommended to use LDAP accounts for daemons because > you will get into all sorts of problems when the network or LDAP server > is unavailable and during boot and shutdown. Yeah, but the filesystem that stores the mail is shared between different (lxc) virtual servers, so I need this user to exist in all virtual servers instead of just the one running dovecot. Using an LDAP user works well enough for me so far, except for this issue.

No problem, I've fixed this locally for now, but it would be nice if it would eventually be fixed in the package. Gr. Matthijs
