dovecot - Jul 2019 - doveadm migration to server with no root access

Hi Sami

Thanks for your response.

Is it then possible to run doveadm without root permission? I've tried, but
get the following errors (using the same kind of setup as my initial post).

command:
doveadm -D -v -c /root/tmp/dovecot_hetz.conf -o mail_fsync=never backup -u
test at propertyzone.co.za pop3c:
response:
doveadm(test at propertyzone.co.za): Error: userdb lookup:
connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied
(euid=1264(propenmnvk) egid=1264(propenmnvk) missing +r perm:
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:0
mode=0755)
doveadm(test at propertyzone.co.za): Error: User lookup failed: Internal error
occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

Hi,

most likely no. You need to ask the admin of the server to do the migration.
