Thanks Timo,
I saw your exchange with Juergen after I posted. I am working now on
setting up rawlog, and I will try to get a gdb backtrace too.
I am having problems setting up rawlog. I need some help.
I tried
protocol imap {
mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
...
and got a warning and I don't know if it was accepted or not, but it was
not logging.
I then tried
service imap {
executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
...
Which is accepted, but it still doesn't log.
I then tried changing
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd
}
first to
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = home=/home/%u /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd
}
and then to
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = home=/home/%u /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd
home = /home/%u
}
But neither of those work, but setting mail_debug = yes shows that the
home directory is as expected:
May 31 15:34:21 sbh16 dovecot: imap(mark): Debug: Effective uid=501,
gid=501, home=/home/mark
yet nothing gets written in /home/mark/dovecot.rawlog
drwxrwxr-x 2 mark mark 4096 May 31 14:46 /home/mark/dovecot.rawlog/
(mark is uid 501).
