As my logs fill up with "imap([email protected]): Error: stat(/mail/doman.com/user//.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory" errors, I followed the advice at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home and https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-June/104403.html and set in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
# By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning with a dot. # Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries which are directories. # This is done by stat()ing each entry, so it causes more disk I/O. # (For systems setting struct dirent->d_type, this check is free and it's # done always regardless of this setting) maildir_stat_dirs = yes My mailbox format reads "mail_location = maildir:~:CONTROL=/var/no-quota/%u:INDEX=MEMORY" The error is factually correct, but there is not .dovecot.sieve/tmp directory or file as .dovecot.sieve is a file (the head sieve script that calls the subordinate scripts out of the /sieve directory. There is a tmp directory at /sieve/tmp/ drwxr----- 2 vmail vmail 2B May 31 04:14 tmp Any hints as to why this isn't working? It does seem like the right answer.
