I would like to run various doveadm commands that involves all (mail) users like doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d but any doveadm command that uses "-A" to iterate through all users will stop processing at the first account with UID<first_valid_uid. doveadm(sysdaemon): Error: user sysdaemon: Couldn't drop privileges: Mail access for users with GID 5551 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup). doveadm(sysdaemon): Error: User init failed doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users Ho...

Hi all, I have next settings in .conf file ... # # Login user for SQL-based virtual users # login_user = dovecot first_valid_uid = 100 first_valid_gid = 100 ... System user dovecot has UID/GID = 101/101. But every time when user logins I see in log file Oct 29 15:51:25 orion dovecot: Logins with login process UID 101 (user elnino) not permitted (see login_user in config file).

Hi, I have error log entries like dovecot: lmtp(22155, mail): Error: user mail: Mail access for users with UID 8 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). This obviously tells me that the user mail (UID 8) is trying to access the LMTP daemon. How can I find out why he is doing so and how I can get rid of this error message? The mail system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Postfix + Dovecot) is working - but probably not...

...fore 30d but I'm told not to: "If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting." I'm using userdb { driver = passwd-file } but I'm guessing that's the same thing. Am I understanding this correctly? - Grant

I'm working to get Dovecot 2.0.13 working along with qmail, Vpopmail and Squirrelmail on a Debian 6.0.2 system, Dovecot compiled, not from a package. Vpopmail has a widely known assigned user/group ID of 89 and is the owner of all the mail folders. Regardless of value of first_valid_uid (1, 89, other), Dovecot denies Squirrelmail connection, saying it can't allow access to UID 89. "Couldn't drop privileges", it says. I'd be grateful for fixes, suggestions, or a pointer to an existing answer to this problem. Thanks ahead. :) Presently dovecot -n shows: # 2....
