Hello Mik J. in first, sorry for my bad english. Did you mix sysuser and user required to read the dedicated mount point for virtual users (virtual mailboxes storage) ? OpenBSD team provided the sysuser _dovecot to run the daemon. I use on my side specific user also to read the Maildir folder in a specific mount point : /var/vmail with user vmail (vmail created manually : vmail:*:xxxx:xxxx:Virtual Mail:/var/vmail:/sbin/nologin) Only the user vmail writes on the dedicated mount point for all virtual mailboxes. Dovecot is running with _dovecot sys account. May i suggest you to read in parallel : http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo Mainly the section userdb configuration, where you declare the user required to read & write the virtuals mailboxes stored. In my case i mixed sql authentication with static userdb part. my dovecot -n : # 2.2.21 (5345f22): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: OpenBSD 5.9 amd64 ffs first_valid_uid = 1000 listen = * mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = vmail (...) passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } (...) userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } > Thank you for your answer Olivier > > As I was writting you I started to understand what could be wrong > My dovecot.conf# dovecot -n > # 2.2.21 (5345f22): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: OpenBSD 5.9 amd64 ffs > mail_gid = _vmail > ... > mail_uid = _vmail > > I run dovecot with another user and that's why I was feeling the login.conf parameters were not taken into account. > Do you know how my login.conf should look like if I run dovecot with the _vmail user ? > Regards > > > > > > > Le Samedi 30 juillet 2016 12h10, Olivier Burelli <oliv...@burelli.fr> a écrit : > > > > On Sat, 30 Jul 2016 08:56:18 +0000 (UTC) > Mik J <mikyde...@yahoo.fr> wrote: > > > Hello, > > I'm able to start dovecot manually as a root# dovecot > > But I can't using the startup script# /etc/rc.d/dovecot start > > the best way is to use : rcctl start || stop dovecot > > previously you have to enable it on rc : rcctl enable dovecot > > > I notice errorsJul 30 10:50:52 x dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.21 (5345f22) > > starting up for imap > > Jul 30 10:50:52 x dovecot: master: Error: service(imap-login): pipe() failed: > > Too many open files > > Jul 30 10:50:52 x dovecot: master: Error: service(imap-hibernate): pipe() > > failed: Too many open files > > Jul 30 10:50:52 x dovecot: master: Error: service(doveadm): pipe() failed: Too > > many open files > > > > Even if my login.conf is modifieddovecot:\ > > ______________ :openfiles-cur=512:\ > > ______________ :openfiles-max=2048:\ > > ______________ :tc=daemon: > > And I ran# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf > > I increased both values up to 8192 and it's still the same. > > It's almost a fresh install, there are just 5 or 6 mails in the mailbox > > > > Does any of you have an idea about what could be the problem and how to debug > > further ? > > > > Seems that you followed intructions from /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/dovecot-2.2.21p0 > > For my configuration, informations below are ok. > > +----------------------------------------------------------------------- > | Running dovecot-2.2.21p0 on OpenBSD > +----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > By default, the _dovecot user, and so the Dovecot processes run in > the login(1) class of "daemon".
