Hello,
I'm having problems with expire-tool in Dovecot 1.2.6 not finding the
mailboxes. I had
mail_location =
mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/indexes
in dovecot.conf, but that doesn't work with expire-tool. So I commented
that out from dovecot.conf, all the data is in a database anyway. A
userdb lookup returns the following for use...@domain:
home = /var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/
mail =
mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/indexes
Now when running expire-tool --test, I get this:
Error: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with
home=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/
Info: User lookup failed: use...@domain
When I run expire-tool under strace, I can see that it is indeed looking
for the mails in the typical autodetect locations (Maildir, mail, Mail)
under user's home directory. So it appers that expire-tool takes the
home directory from userdb, but ignores mail location returned by userdb?
