[Dovecot] 2.0 migration weirdnesses: logs and hang

[Kyle Wheeler]

Hello,




First, I'm only getting one log message:

    master: Info: Dovecot v2.0.0 starting up







I'm attaching my config file, if it helps.

I'm testing out an upgrade to dovecot 2.0 from 1.2.11, and I've stumbled across two weirdnesses that I need help with. After that, while I can connect, log in, read mail, etc., no further log messages are created. I have log_path set to /dev/stderr, and no syslog_facility setting, so... what could be going wrong? Second, when I create a new mailbox and copy messages across namespaces, dovecot hangs. The mailbox is created and the messages are copied successfully, but dovecot simply stops responding. I can't even logout! The effect of liberty to individuals is, that they may do what they please; we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.
