hmm if message cannot be written to disk surely it remains on mda queue as not delviered and does not just disappear ? or am i reading this wrong ?!
as Matt writes your MDA (aka dovecot-lda) returns with an exit code != 0 and your MTA should queue the message for later re-delivery.
IMHO, you should look there, if you call dovecot-lda correctly.
Dag Nygren <mailto:d...@newtech.fi> 16 August 2017 at 7:14 am Thanks for all the advice on how to configure systemd not to loose my emails after every update. Much appreciated. But there could be other reasons for the mailboxes not being writable and what I am really asking for is for dovecot-lda not to loose the incoming emails into thin air in these cases. Could we have some kind of collective place/places where they would be saved in this case and then reintroduced into the system after the problem is fixed? One file for example? Best Dag Dag Nygren <mailto:d...@newtech.fi> 14 August 2017 at 4:24 pm Hi! Have been using Fedora as my dovecot server for some time and am struggling with systemd at every update. Fedora insists on setting ProtectSystem=full in both dovecot.service and postfix.service at every update of the packages. This makes my mailstore which is in /usr/local/var/mail Read-only. And this makes the incoming emails delivered through dovecot-lda disappear into /dev/null until I notice the problem and we lose incoming emails. My question is: Is there any way to set up a failback mailstore for these occasions? PS! I really hate systemd - Destroys the UNIX way of doing things with a heavy axe.... Best Dag
