Hello all,
I have set up two servers with dovecot and replication. The mail location is
mail_location = sdbox:/var/spool/mail/%u
Everything works fine when I override the homedirectories
userdb {
driver = passwd
override_fields = home=/var/spool/mail/%u
}
But, when I do not override the homedirectories, replication does not work,
and the following error is logged:
Oct 24 14:40:45 dsync-local(hans): Error: Couldn't create lock
/afs/mpa/home/hans/.dovecot-sync.lock: Permission denied
With a self-written module an IMAP user can get access to his homedirectory:
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = afsToken
}
The user has to type in his password. Obviously this does not work for
replication.
Is there a way to specify a different location for the lockfile?
Isn't better to use the maildirectory but the homedirectory?
Is there a way to set the homedirectory differently for replication?
Thank you for any help.
HW
