Sorry for replying so late, the server running Dovecot succumbed to a hardware problem. Now that the machine is online again, I applied your patch. Running the expire tool now causes the following log messages: dict: db(secondary, ): DB->set_cachesize: method not permitted when environment specified dict: db(secondary, ): unable to allocate space from the buffer cache dict: sdb.open() failed: Cannot allocate memory dict: dict: db(/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db) open failed dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire' This does not look too well yet. ;-) -R
