Hi, I just started running RC2 on Thursday. I migrated an old Courier IMAP server, and the only issue I had was that I didn't understand how to enable quotas :) It's impressively fast, and I'm quite happy with it so far. This morning I found that dovecot had crashed, I had exceeded FreeBSD's kern.maxpipekva Has anyone successfully run dovecot under daemontools? I got it to fire up, but it didn't seem to work right.. I'm guessing it's a rights issue, but I haven't delved into it at all. Thanks! Rick

Worked for me (on a linux system), after adjusting the user in the log/run script and adding paths for 'setuidgid' etc. success! -- groeten, HenkJan Wolthuis

My ./run script is: #! /bin/sh set -e ./userdb2mailpasswd.sh exec 2>&1 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F Where userdb2mailpasswd.sh converts a Courier userdb to passwd format to use it as passwd file. -- Matthias Andree
