I?m running Dovecot 2.3.4 on FreeBSD 11.2 with qmail. In my mail log, I see
messages like this on every delivery
Jan 8 10:30:02 v1 qmail: 1546961402.314222 delivery 533: success:
lda(matt,)Error:_net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer)_failed:_Permission_denied/did_0+0+1/
Searching for this error, I found a message on a support forum for a different
server that suggested adding this to dovecot.conf:
service stats {
unix_listener stats-reader {
user = vmail
group = vmail
mode = 0660
}
unix_listener stats-writer {
user = vmail
group = vmail
mode = 0660
}
}
The person reporting the error said that this corrected it. But since I?m
running qmail, I have no vmail user/group. I?m guessing that I need to replace
user/group with the values that some mail delivery process is running with.
I?ve tried a couple of things with no success. Any ideas?
