In particular, I'm curious because of messages like the one below that I got from "doveadm search": doveadm(dave): Error: net_connect_unix(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/indexer) failed: No such file or directory Is the lack of this (or any other) socket attributable to not having started dovecot itself? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
