Hi After rebooting my server connections to the mail system set up there failed - on closer inspection no dovecot process was running or got started. When running as root /usr/share/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf got error on console /var/run/dovecot/auth-master could not be opened and found no /var/run/dovecot folder!. Is there better script to place in/etc/init.c/ to start dovecot (which will not fail silently?) Any idea what would remove the folder on ubuntu 10.10, running dovecot 2.1.5 and postfix 2.1.7?
This question really should be asked on an Ubuntu support list, as each distro has its own way of doing things.
But - are you sure you have postfix 2.1.7? That is so ancient I shudder at the thought - please upgrade asap...
