I noticed that your script didn't work for me, for some reason I got -ne HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-ne Content-Length: 0 -ne which of course does not make sense... can you try if this works? I'm guessing your script probably looks pretty much like this already... #!/bin/bash timeout=10 trap "exit 0" QUIT { sleep $timeout kill -3 $$ 2>/dev/null } & read -r input exit_code=$? if [ ${exit_code} -eq 0 ]; then echo -n -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" echo -n -e "Content-Length: 0\r\n" echo -n -e "\r\n" fi exit 0 > On 20/10/2021 11:55 Marc <m...@f1-outsourcing.eu> wrote: > > > No, if I stop the dovecot service.
