No matter what I do, I always get this error when trying to start Dovecot:
$ sudo /usr/local/opt/dovecot/sbin/dovecot
Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 <
1000), because of default_client_limit
Fatal: service(stats) Group doesn't exist: dovecot (See service stats {
unix_listener /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer { group } } setting)
The user and group it should be using are _dovecot.
Config:
$ sudo /usr/local/opt/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -n

}
userdb {

}
Not sure why it?s looking for dovecot.conf in the wrong place.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
James.
