similar to: Transitioning from version 1 to version 2

On advice/recommendation received on this list, I removed version 1.0.15 with: rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot However, now that I have version 2 properly installed, configured, and ready to start testing with Postfix, it appears the old version is still in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libexec, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/shared/doc. Thinking that anything in /usr/local is

Have you done *make distclean* in prior? That should remove all things dovecot.

My /var/log/maillog was getting pretty big because of lots of testing and re-configuring I've been doing lately with both Dovecot and Postfix. I figured just remove /var/log/maillog and it would be re-created. It wasn't--not by Dovecot, not by Postfix. I had to manually create a new one, put one character in it, save it, properly secure it with chmod, and then Dovecot (and postfix)

Since I've decided to go to version 2, which is a lot more difficult to set up because I have to look in a lot more places than I did with version 1.0.15, what do I do with the old dovecot/passwd or its contents? I see no references to it in any of the stuff in conf.d or doc/dovecot/wiki. As always, thanks in advance.

Sorry for having lost the original chain of this problem. It's been a very long day. New output from 'dovecot -n output', including the contents of dovecot.conf, conf.d/10-master.conf, conf.d/10-mail.conf and conf.d/10-ssl.conf: # 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) # OS: Linux 4.15.0-64-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS ext4

After applying some changes to 10-master.conf as detailed at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP I receive the following when trying to start: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 49: Expecting '{' I'm trying to enable LMTP.

Look at /etc/hosts ::1 is the ipv6 version of localhost.?

My system has a great big four users. The Dovecot wiki says LMTP is more efficient, and someone on IRC told me I'd need it if I were ever to use sieve, which at this time I have no intention of doing. Should I stick with LDA, or just implement LMTP so I'm ready if ever I need it in the future? The bottom line is, it's unclear from the wiki how to explicitly specify use of one or the

Im using Dovecot for LMTP for all my mail users, since this way they are completely virtual (i.e. dont need to have a local account at all), all mail gets delivered to Maildirs owned by dovecot. Also LMTP makes it easier to insert scripts and do any custom processing which presumably is where Sieve comes in. Its also pretty easy to setup. On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 12:03 PM, Steve Matzura

There might be a whitespace. Try pasting what you copied to notepad or gedit (depending on your OS) then copy/pasting here again.

By the way, I looked at my own file, and it doesn't give full path of lmtp. On 13 Jun 2015 08:05, "Muzaffer Tolga Ozses" <tolga at ozses.net> wrote: > There might be a whitespace.

Look into logrotate, and turn off your debugging stuff.
