Hi all I decided to upgrade to 2.0 i compiled dovecot with ssl and mysql, but i have problems with lmtp configuration. this is the error.
pr 27 01:04:36 debian dovecot: auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) in directory /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=65534(nobody) egid=65534(nogroup) missing +r perm: auth-worker, euid is not dir owner) Apr 27 01:04:36 debian dovecot: lmtp(25961): Error: userdb lookup(u...@exemple.org): Disconnected unexpectedly Apr 27 01:04:36 debian dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling dovecot.conf auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir ssl = no passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = mail mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = nobody } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } !include conf.d/*.conf 20-lmtp.conf protocol lmtp { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins postmaster_address = ad...@exemple.org } I think is a permisson problem, in the conf i set group = mail mode = 0660 user = vmail i should not have problems, rigth?
