I use FreeBSD, although I have never attempted to run Dovecot in a jail. Might I suggest the following: 1) Contact the Dovecot port maintainer and inform him/her of your problem. They may not be aware of it, or it might be something else. 2) File a 'send-pr' so that the matter can be looked at more closely by FreeBSD personnel. 3) You might try inquiring on the FreeBSD forum to see what other FBSD users have to offer. -- Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yesterday I was a dog.
