Hi,
I am getting the error "Error: Mailbox Spam: Failed to autocreate
mailbox: Mailbox can't be created" and cannot figure out what is causing
it. It seems like some sort of permissions issue, but nothing I have
tried seems to fix the problem. I was running my setup for many years
without issue, and this error started occurring after a recent Ubuntu
upgrade.
I am using getmail 6.18.4 to fetch mail from a mail server, which then
calls /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver to deliver the mail to my local system.
It is during this delivery that the error occurs. The dovecot-lda
executable exits with status 75 and the log file contains:
Jun 09 08:05:54 honeydukes dovecot[1863]:
lda(sally)<1863><L9pgDaKaZWZHBwAASkLcPA>: Error: Mailbox Spam: Failed to
autocreate mailbox: Mailbox can't be created
Jun 09 08:05:54 honeydukes dovecot[1863]:
lda(sally)<1863><L9pgDaKaZWZHBwAASkLcPA>: msgid=<REDACTED>: save failed
to open mailbox Spam: Mailbox
Below is my dovecot configuration.
Any help would be appreciated!
