I just had a strange problem with my Dovecot 1.0 installation. After
about two weeks, it logged these messages:
dovecot: Error: ssl-build-param:
rename(/usr/local/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp,
/usr/local/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat) failed: No such
file or directory
dovecot: Error: child 30689 (ssl-build-param) returned error 89
And thereafter, all login attempts resulted in this:
dovecot: Error: imap-login: read(ssl-parameters.dat) failed:
Unexpected EOF
dovecot: Error: child 19036 (login) returned error 89
Thankfully, deleting the ssl-parameters.dat file
(/var/run/dovecot/memoryhole.net/login/ssl-parameters.dat) and
restarting dovecot fixed the problem, but it seems odd to me that
dovecot expects /usr/local/var/lib/dovecot to exist (because, of
course, it doesn't). I'm not defining that directory in the config
file anywhere. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

they're going and hook up with them later.

If it helps, this didn't seem to happen with 1.0rc26, which is what I was using before moving to 1.0. Please, does *anyone* know what the problem might be? ~Kyle -- Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind.
